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.

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.
