It’s intriguing to observe who will bring characters to life when animated properties transition into live-action. For example, the How to Train Your Dragon series is set to come alive in a grand live-action form next year. While some voice actors from the franchise like Gerard Butler (Stoick the Vast) will carry their roles over, new actors are being chosen to fill in for others. Instead of Jay Baruchel, who voices Hiccup, the young lead character, Mason Thames has been cast for the live-action film. In place of Craig Ferguson, Gobber the Belch, Stoick’s friend, will be played by Nick Frost, known for his humorous performances in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Hyperspace, and the recent release Black Cab.

Following Mark Harmon’s departure from NCIS at the start of Season 19, the actor has since rejoined the franchise for the spin-off series NCIS: Origins, set to air in 2024. In this new role, Harmon is both an executive producer and narrator for the show, which focuses on a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs as he becomes a Naval Investigative Service (NIS) agent at Camp Pendleton in 1991 after the loss of his wife and daughter. Additionally, he briefly reprises his role as Gibbs during the series premiere. Although viewers are thrilled to see Harmon return, it seems not everyone is entirely convinced by this development.
