As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled about NCIS: Origins, the prequel set in 1991 airing on the 2024 TV schedule, as it provides Austin Stowell an opportunity to bring the younger Leroy Jethro Gibbs to life. Interestingly, Mark Harmon, who embodied Gibbs for almost two decades on NCIS, plays a significant role in Origins, serving not just as executive producer but also as the show’s narrator. In an unexpected twist, Harmon even made an on-camera appearance during the premiere episode. Although it could have been possible for Stowell to handle both narration and on-screen performance, he recently shared his reasons for being content with Harmon taking on the narration role instead.
