Debuting as a spin-off of “JAG” back in 2003, “NCIS” follows a group of agents as they solve crimes pertaining to the United States Navy and Marine Corps, ranging from murder to theft to other atrocities that are too disturbing to mention. By no means does “NCIS” reinvent the rules of procedural crime dramas, but viewers are always guaranteed mystery, action, entertainment, and a cast of strong characters to provide some drama.

Of course, some characters haven’t been a hit with “NCIS” fans throughout the years, and that sentiment doesn’t only apply to the wicked villains who make life challenging for the heroes. With that in mind, which “NCIS” character is regarded as the least popular in the eyes of fans?

Looper polled “NCIS” fans in the United States to determine which character they view as the least likable of the bunch. Of the 618 participants surveyed, 24.43% agreed that Anthony DiNozzo Jr. (Michael Weatherly) is the worst. Then again, some viewers believe that Tony has aged poorly on “NCIS,” so, as surprising as the poll outcome might be to some long-term viewers, he has been in people’s bad books for a very long time.
