I don't think age has been brought up. I'd have to find the special features which discuss it & watch those though. As far as I know yes he has partially retired so I guess age comes into it in that sense, but he doesn't feel old, he's just ready to start parts of that chapter in his life. He wants to spend more time with his wife (he lives on the East Coast, they film on the West Coast), his children, & grandchildren. If 'age' or any other concerns are a contributing factor I don't know, they're not publicly discussed. We just know his contract is for less episodes & they work with him so he does have a reduced workload but we still get to see him & everyone gets to remain happy

Even if not publicly spoken wouldn't be a stretch of "assuming" age plays a part at that time of reducing he must have been 85+ already

ETA looks like Ducky is going to retire it seems

Retiring from ME but being made NCIS Historian glad they were able to provide something new and able to convince him to stick around

Ducky surely has all the cool technologies in his new space as NCIS Historian

It looks like a fun job, tbh. If you're interested in it, anyway.

It is perfect considering his love for history knowledge

NCIS's David McCallum speaks out on Ducky exit as he addresses retirement plans

Quote:
Recurring star David has confirmed he just has a couple of NCIS episodes left before his current contract is up. “I have two shows left on this contract,” he revealed in his latest interview. It’s currently unknown if the two episodes will fall within the same season. If they’ve yet to be filmed, Ducky could be appearing in just one more episode in the current instalment and then another in season 21.

Filming for NCIS’s 2022-23 outing is still ongoing, so there’s a strong chance Ducky will be making an appearance in the back half of the season next year. “I’ll be going out to shoot it, health permitting, if and when they need me,” he told the RadioTimes.

The 89-year-old actor confirmed he and his wife Katherine are still working, though they have slowly started to make plans for full retirement. “Retirement is a work in progress, shall we say!” he joked.

It appears Ducky’s NCIS story isn’t over just yet, and he’ll still be making occasional appearances to help out with the team’s latest missions. Unfortunately, it’s quite clear his appearances won’t be nearly as regular as they were during the show’s heyday.
Don't know if that article really is saying anything at all. But does confirm that Ducky is still in a reduced amount of episodes. It will be interesting to see what David does once those two episodes are up though

Well, while it's going to be a sad day when Ducky exits the show, but still acting at 89... He deserves to retire, and not travel back & forth...

Hope that he will have a wonderful, official send off...

Agreed he does deserve to retire. Or maybe just have the one or two appearances if he does want to still be a part of the show. If he does retire I do hope they do give him a good send off though

Absolutely

he deserves to be able to participate whenever he wants to, or retire for good from acting.
