Mark Harmon originally played Gibbs when the flagship NCIS series debuted on CBS in 2003 until his departure in 2021. The Supervisory Special Agent became a central figure in the series, leading a team of federal agents investigating military crimes. Harmon previously addressed his decision to exit the series after 19 seasons. "I was thrilled with the storyline they came up with and how they handled the character," he said. "I have been asked [about a return] a lot. I've always let the writers do what they want to do. It's really about feeling like you're fulfilled with a role, or complete with a role."
Harmon Helped Stowell Understand Gibbs
Stowell recently shared his thoughts about playing Gibbs after Harmon, admitting that he has big shoes to fill. "Mark Harmon has done a job that actors dream to do," he said. "He's captured the world and so that is just slightly daunting. The actor also explained how working with Harmon, who serves as narrator on the series, has helped him to understand the character. "Getting to know Mark has really been paramount to me stepping into these shoes and trying to fill them."
