According to TV Insider, the May 1 episode of NCIS: LA is going to be filled to the brim with behind-the-scenes cast members. Eric wrote the upcoming episode, and Daniela Ruah (Kensi) directed it. These two sure love to partner up! What's next, tag team wrestling? Or perhaps tandem skydiving. This is an especially adorable team because Daniela is actually married to Eric's brother. Of course that must make the whole "playing a married couple" thing kind of interesting.

While chatting with TV Insider about working together, Eric and Daniela had nothing but wonderful things to say about each other. "I’ve gotta be honest — Eric’s script was a fireball freight train moving with rhythm," Daniela said. "He’s such a creative, interesting writer, who researches so much. He’s so astute. It was so collaborative and present."

In turn, Eric said Daniela is "...incredible. She’s at her best as a director. She’s the real deal."

During this process, Eric learned the fine art of cutting down a script for time. He has a comedy background so naturally his episode had a bit or two in it, which he had to rework to fit within the standard 42-44 minutes of programming that make up an hour-long show.

"[The episode] was 17 minutes over. In cutting, I lost all of the comedy so, in this one I tried to leave the comedy in all the way through and let it help drive the story, and in the third act I let the action take over."

Our kingdom for the unedited version of this script!
