NCIS’ Mark Harmon Says Origins Star Austin Stowell Left Quite The Impression After His Audition
The first two episodes of CBS crime drama “NCIS: Origins” premiered on October 14, introducing Austin Stowell’s young Leroy Jethro Gibbs at the beginning of his Naval Investigative Service career. Reviews for the prequel series have been positive, and judging by the charming cast and the intriguing story, the NCIS universe might have yet another winner on its hands. A lot of the show’s allure hinges on how well Stowell captures the essence of Gibbs — but if you ask the character’s original actor, Mark Harmon, the younger performer’s star quality was already obvious when he auditioned for the role.
