Mark Harmon to Return as Gibbs in ‘NCIS’ & ‘Origins’ Crossover: See Photo

Well, this is certainly going to make the NCIS and NCIS: Origins crossover even more special: Mark Harmon is reprising his role as Leroy Jethro Gibbs in the first hour.

CBS announced the news of Harmon’s special guest appearance on NCIS: Origins during the crossover on Tuesday, October 28. The event will be airing on Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11, with Harmon appearing in the first hour (the shows swap time slots for the night). See Harmon as Gibbs again in the photo above.

Four years ago, Gibbs disappeared to Alaska to live a life of solitude,” said co-showrunners and executive producers David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal in a statement. “We know how much fans have missed seeing Mark and have wondered what Gibbs is up to today. Well, on Nov. 11, we’re so excited to announce that Mark Harmon will return as Leroy Jethro Gibbs in the Origins hour of the NCIS crossover event. We don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say Gibbs is no longer alone.”
