Uncovering Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ Past: A Deep Dive into NCIS: Origins
For 18 years, Mark Harmon played Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the Supervisory Special Agent in Charge at NCIS, on the TV show NCIS. In 2021, he relinquished his famous role but continued as an executive producer for the series. The leadership position was then passed to Agent Alden Parker (played by Gary Cole). Thankfully, Gibbs’ character wasn’t killed off but was said to be embarking on a new journey in Alaska, providing some solace to longtime fans that Gibbs still exists within the NCIS universe. However, what makes his character significant enough for its own spin-off? And how much more of his story remains untold after nearly two decades on air? Surprisingly, quite a bit.
