Mark Harmon’s Upcoming Role Is What He Needs After 18 Years Of NCIS’ Gibbs

Mark Harmon’s new movie role is a refreshing change from his iconic NCIS character, showcasing his extensive acting abilities. After nearly two decades as Gibbs, Harmon’s return to acting in Freaky Friday 2 reminds fans of his versatile career before NCIS. Harmon’s upcoming role as Ryan Volvo will help audiences see him beyond Gibbs and highlight his diverse acting range.

Mark Harmon’s upcoming movie role is a necessary career step away from NCIS central character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, whom he played for nearly two decades in over 400 episodes. Harmon’s lengthy effort stretches back to when he, a few other original NCIS characters, and the concept of the military police procedural were introduced in the legal drama Jag. What started as a two-part backdoor pilot burgeoned into a popular, long-running TV series that’s still being made today and inspired the creation of four NCIS spinoff series and an upcoming NCIS prequel series.
