[Biography
Anthony DiNozzo is a streetwise, promiscuous former homicide detective.[3] He is well known for his constant flirtation with nearly every woman he encounters. Some consider his behavior to be borderline chauvinistic. He is not a respecter of boundaries, thinking nothing of rifling through his colleagues' possessions and confidential information if he thinks this could be used as a pinagmulan of amusement (for example, downloading details from a colleague's personal organizer without permission). He has an expensive taste in clothing evidenced sa pamamagitan ng his pag-ibig for designer names, particularly Ermenegildo Zegna[4].

Although Tony is in his mid 30s[5] (32 as of the episode "Split Decision"), he typically shows teenage behavior.[6]He is very loyal to his co-workers at NCIS, particularly his supervisor, Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Tony delights in quoting pelikula in everyday life, often finding parallels between them and current situations, as can be seen in many episodes throughout the 6 seasons of the show. He often mimics the original actor when quoting them, such as Sean Connery's James Bond. He is also known to recite Tommy Lee Jones's speech from The Fugitive whenever they are looking for someone. Tony is a tagahanga of the shows Magnum, P.I. and Airwolf, both also Donald Bellisario productions. In the episode "Dead Man Talking", he claims his name is "Stringfellow" when meeting with a suspect; Stringfellow was a character from the Bellisario series Airwolf, played sa pamamagitan ng Jan Michael Vincent.

Although his immature behavior often gets Tony into his share of hot water, he also demonstrates himself to be an insightful agent when the need arises, and on madami than one occasion surprises Gibbs and his teammates when an apparently immature action on his part actually causes (more often sa pamamagitan ng disensyo than sa pamamagitan ng accident) new evidence to be uncovered.[7] He is fairly adaptable and practical, and is fluent in Spanish.[8] Tony is heard speaking Spanish in the NCIS episode "Marine Down" when Gibbs has Tony read a Spanish language newspaper. Tony translates Spanish e-mails while McGee reads from English ang sumagot in the episode "An Eye for An Eye".[9]

Tony was on the varsity basketbol team at The Ohio State University. This team was apparently good, as he stated that they made it to the Final Four at one point before losing to UCLA.[10] He also discusses a football game (episode "SWAK" 2005) which he played between his team (Ohio State) and his doctor's (Dr. Brad Pitt) team (Michigan). He comments that "we kissed our sisters", meaning that the game ended in a 13–13 tie. He also mentions having broken his leg during the game. In the episodes "Bikini Wax" and "Trojan Horse", he mentions he is in Ohio State Alpha Chi Delta fraternity, class of 1989.

Tony claims to have 20/10 vision in the episode "Left for Dead", however, in the episode "The Curse", he can be seen wearing glasses at his mesa before promptly taking them off to talk to Gibbs. He also once donated to a sperm bank (but no one wanted to use his sperm).[11] He drove a 1966 Ford mabangis na kabayo until it was bombed.[12]

The character is played as a "technophobe", who like his superior has limited patience with the scientific method and technical terms.

At the end of the fifth season, Tony was reassigned sa pamamagitan ng Director Vance as "Agent Afloat" to the USS Ronald Reagan and later to the USS Seahawk. Tony assumed that this was due to his involvement in the death of Director Shepard and the resulting coverup, but was actually part of Director Vance's covert plan to uncover a nunal within the agency. Because he blamed himself for Jenny's death, due to his respect for her privacy early in the episode "Judgment Day", he had a brief problem with alcohol abuse.

In the episode "Last Man Standing", Tony was stationed aboard the USS Seahawk, but was reassigned back to Gibbs' team sa pamamagitan ng the end of the episode, "Agent Afloat".

As seen in the fingerprint ulat on Abby's computer in the episode "Frame Up", his middle initial is "D" and his bloodtype is A+.

In the episode "Blowback", when confronting Goliath on the plane about Aries, Tony revealed he was a Cancer.

In the episode "Alyiah", he, Gibbs and Ziva head to Israel after Tony kills Ziva's undercover boyfriend Michael Rivkin. This results in both Ziva and Tony no longer trusting one another.
