NCIS star Mark Harmon isn't the only actor in the family! Find out about his famous mother, Elyse Knox, and her impressive Hollywood career.
March 21, 2023 - 11:49 GMT Megan Bull Mark Harmon has become a household name thanks to his leading role as Leroy Jethro Gibbs in NCIS – not to mention his endless credits in Hollywood hits from the 1970s onwards. In a sweet full circle moment, the TV star actually takes after his famous mother – the late Elyse Knox – when it comes to his decade-spanning career path.
"It didn't hit me until one day when I was riding in the car with my father in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was maybe 8 and could barely see above the dashboard. And we stopped at a crosswalk. Suddenly we were surrounded by people who recognized my dad and were really thrilled to see him.
"When [my father] got back after 30 days, the parachute came with him, and he married my mom. My grandmother, an Austrian immigrant and also a great seamstress, basically took the chute apart and made my mom's wedding dress out of it," he said. It doesn't get more romantic than that!
