The TV world just suffered a huge loss.

On Wednesday, NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg passed away at only 50 years old. CBS confirmed the executive producer died in his sleep.

 

I was just reading about the same thing....

Gary Glasberg Dies; ‘NCIS’ Showrunner Was 50 »

Wow! Just 50 years old. I just finished watching a couple hours worth of NCIS reruns on USA Network last night.

RIP

 

What kills me, and maybe him, is that I am 60 years old and he looks older than me. A lot of stress I would guess.

 

Yup, he looks like he was in his late 60's....... R.I.P.

 

Yeah, sure he did....

 

Not easy being showrunner of the #1 TV drama in the world. Probably overseeing "NCIS: LA" and "NCIS: New Orleans" too.

 

very sad ! he did look older than 50 though! Rip a great producer and writer who will be missed by a lot of people .

 

success does take a toll

 

TV will do that to you. Note that he was the showrunner for two series at the same time. That will turn your hair completely white before you're 50.

I once worked for a guy who was head of post for Michael Landon's production company. He really loved Michael and was devastated when he died. The guy told me he figured the reason why Landon died so young (54) is because he only slept about 3-4 hours a day, and just worked around the clock for years and years.

It's interesting that they didn't give a cause of death for Mr. Glassberg, and my interpretation of the story is that his death came as a shock, so he wasn't suffering from a long term illness. It's doubly sad for his family and the people who worked with him -- a lot of people in the trades say he was a very good man.
