Who is Cody James Reedy, subject of NCIS title card tribute?

Who is Cody James Reedy? At the end of tonight’s new NCIS episode, the man was honored with a brief but powerful title card. It is a moment meant to honor someone who was very much important to the show.

Typically when we talk about these title cards, we often try our best to find out as much information as possible, with respect to the person at the center of the tribute while still giving respect to their privacy. Often, these cards are meant to honor someone whose contributions were invaluable to the show in some shape or form. Sometimes they are the inspiration for a given story (NCIS did air an important episode tonight all about honoring veterans), or on other occasions, they are a valued crew member.

Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no clear information as to who Cody James Reedy is — at least in a manner that we can properly verify. There is no clear information online in the form of a obituary, or some other information that attaches him to NCIS as a part of the show family. This is a delicate subject, given that tributes are often a solemn, private thing. In this occasion, the production of NCIS felt it important to honor Reedy at the conclusion of this episode, and it may be an instance of them wanting to spotlight someone who would not otherwise have one.

Through this, Cody James Reedy is not forgotten. His legacy will live on through subsequent airings of this episode. NCIS is the sort of show that does get significant play after the fact, in repeats and in various places all over the world.

Our thoughts go out to all those who care about Cody. This is a developing story, and if we are able to compile more information about who he is or his contributions to the show, we will add it to this story in due time. (Photo: CBS.)
