NCIS co-stars Sean Murray and Brian Dietzen have reunited amid the ongoing actors' strike.

Members of SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) joined members of the Writers Guild of America on the picket lines last week in a dispute over better pay, halting production on a number of films and TV shows - including NCIS.

This hasn't stopped the procedural drama's two leads from teaming up though, as Murray and Dietzen have decided to show their solidarity by marching on the picket lines.

Murray took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and Deietzen with some of their NCIS colleagues, including writer and executive producer Scott Williams and producer David J. North, holding SAG-AFTRA and WGA on strike signs.

"#sagaftrastrong #wgastrong #solidarity," he captioned the post.

Dietzen was on holiday in Greece with his wife earlier this week, though he did assure fans that he would be joining his co-stars in protesting when he returned home.

"It was an epic journey and so beautiful. Santorini, Naxos, Athens, it was the trip of a lifetime," he wrote. "Now back to work… eventually? Til then, I'll be on the picket lines."

Murray and and Dietzen aren't the only actors showing their solidarity with the strike, as Chicago Med trio Steven Weber, Kristen Hager and S. Epatha Merkerson also shared their support online.

"It is truly incomprehensible that 'management' is putting every human element it can find in the crosshairs in order to maximise profit," Weber wrote on Instagram, while Merkersen shared a photo of the SAG-AFTRA logo and Hager shared some pictures from the picket lines.

NCIS airs on CBS in the US. Seasons 1-20 are streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
