It's been quite a while since we last saw the beloved NCIS star, Mark Harmon, in public. Ever since his departure from the series in 2021, he has been hardly recognizable. It's hard to believe that this is the same man who graced our screens for two decades, starting from his debut in 2003. For those who are not familiar with the show, NCIS is a military police TV series that follows a team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. It's a spin-off from the popular series JAG, and has been on air for 21 seasons, with six spin-off series to its name.
Mark Harmon played the lead role of NCIS agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs for 18 years before bidding farewell to the show in its nineteenth season. It's been three years since his departure, and he has been keeping himself busy with other projects. However, if you happen to spot him on the streets of Los Angeles, you might not recognize him at first glance. This week, he was spotted in the city during a major heatwave, wearing a red button-down shirt, dark-colored shorts, and flip flops, as he headed out to grab some groceries.
Despite his absence from the limelight, Mark leads a private life with his wife of 37 years, actress Pam Dawber. The couple prefers to keep a low profile and rarely makes public appearances. However, fans will be thrilled to know that he is set to reprise his role in the sequel of the beloved 2003 film, Freaky Friday. In the movie, Mark played the lovable partner of Tess and stepfather of Anna. Since then, he hasn't been seen in any movies or TV shows, but we can't wait to see him back on the big screen.
When asked about his departure from NCIS, Mark expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play Agent Gibbs and the impact it had on his career. He shared, "What has always drawn me here is the character I play and to keep it fresh and challenging." He also mentioned that he thought the path his character took was honest and okay. Mark initially landed the role after portraying a Secret Service special agent in four episodes of The West Wing in 2002.
Although he remained in the credits for NCIS for a year after his exit, his name was eventually removed since his character was not killed off. However, executive producer Steven D. Binder has not ruled out a return for the former lead, stating, "Those are things that we have not sorted out quite yet, so the answer is we will wait and see." For those who can't get enough of NCIS, the show is now available for streaming on Paramount Plus.
