As a seasoned movie buff with over three decades of watching NCIS and its iconic characters, I can confidently say that the upcoming prequel series, NCIS: Origins, has piqued my interest like never before. Mark Harmon’s involvement in the show, both on-screen and off-, is a testament to his dedication to the character he brought to life, Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
As the debut of NCIS: Origins approaches, the makers of the show have shared intriguing insights about Mark Harmon’s part in the prequel series. Famous for his emblematic portrayal of Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Harmon will not only provide narration for the series but has also played a significant role behind the scenes. The new series, NCIS: Origins, features Austin Stowell as a younger Gibbs and promises to offer a revitalized perspective on the character’s early days at NCIS.
In the 1990s, the series titled “NCIS: Origins” will trace back the early days of Gibbs’ career as a Special Agent at NCIS’ Camp Pendleton office. This show will delve into the pivotal cases and experiences that molded Gibbs into the person he is today. Speaking to TVLine, co-creator David J. North, who also serves as showrunner alongside Gina Lucita Monreal, highlighted Harmon’s significant impact on the show and his backing of Stowell.
He’s exactly as involved as we need him to be. He serves as our sounding board when Gina and I can’t agree on something. When we’re unsure about a decision, like which path to take at a crossroads, he offers his insight. Mark is straightforward with us, and he’s also been very supportive of Austin [Stowell]. This has been crucial for our team, as you can imagine.
Gibbs’ Story Will Offer An Insightful Look Behind The Legend
The upcoming prequel series, set in the 1990s, not only delves into Gibbs’ early career days but also provides an engaging connection to the original NCIS series. In this setting, Gibbs works under Mike Franks, a seasoned agent focused on assembling a rugged and dedicated team of investigators. Previously portrayed by Muse Watson in the main series, Kyle Schmid will take on the role for NCIS: Origins. Additionally, creator Harmon has hinted that the narration will offer viewers a glimpse into Gibbs’ transformation into the tough, no-nonsense team leader we recognize. Furthermore, it is mentioned that Harmon himself will make several on-screen appearances in the series. The reason behind Gibbs choosing to share his story remains undisclosed by the show creator.
On October 14th, you’ll discover the method by which our cherished character, Gibbs, shares his story with us.
NCIS: Origins will offer more in-depth character development, moving away from the typical case-by-case format. Instead, it’ll provide a continuous storyline that delves into the personal life and history of Gibbs, offering a fresh perspective to the franchise and signifying growth for the NCIS universe.
