Mark Harmon Returns for Shocking NCIS: Origins Debut – Fans Can’t Believe It!
Mark Harmon departed from NCIS in its 19th season, having played the special agent since 2003. Although NCIS Season 22 is currently airing, filled with tales for the remaining characters, there’s no denying that Harmon’s absence is felt. Given how central Gibbs was to the storyline, it’s not surprising that a prequel series, NCIS: Origins, was developed. However, it’s unclear whether Harmon is part of NCIS: Origins or if he has stepped away from the entire franchise.
