‘NCIS’ Star Michael Weatherly Takes on the Tapped Challenge for Charity

The latest TV star to whip out his dancing shoes in the #tapped challenge is Michael Weatherly.

After the cast members of “NCIS: Los Angeles” called him out last week, the “NCIS” star stepped to the challenge in a sepia-filtered video with toddlers as back-up dancers. In the video, he calls out Keltie Knight from “The Insider” and professional dancer Derek Hough of “Dancing With the Stars.”

With Hough having the potential to outperform his challenger, he has already accepted the dare via Twitter. A video response from the dancer has not yet been released.

Celebrities continue to show their footwork in the new viral challenge that raises money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, a nonprofit organization that helps people living with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.

“NCIS” returns Sept. 22 to CBS.
