Mark Harmon on a boat in NCIS
Fans are preparing to turn back the clock to 1991 when they set their televisions to the newest NCIS show, NCIS: Origins. The show will feature a younger Leroy Jethro Gibbs, played by Austin Stowell. Originally played by Mark Harmon for the first 19 seasons of the NCIS flagship show, Harmon will also narrate the prequel series. Gibbs is fresh from the marines and his time in Desert Storm, as well as reeling from the loss of his family: his wife Shannon and his daughter, Kelly.
Harmon says that it's always challenging to take on the role of a pre-existing character played, especially for as long as Harmon did, by another actor. The prequel series, however, is an advantage in Harmon's eyes. He says "because some things are already in place and an audience knows where this leads years ahead." Gibbs would move from his time at NIS at the Camp Pendleton office in California and eventually move to the D.C. area to lead his own team of "probies" .
"You have to play by a certain set of rules. The mustache is a trademark of Muse’s. I wear dark brown contacts every day at work. I took on a dialect coach, so Kyle Schmid now sounds like Mike Franks all the time."
