NCIS: Origins First Look – Young Gibbs' Long Hair Shocks Fans, Mark Harmon Returns
Fans are in for a major shock as CBS unveils the first look at NCIS: Origins, the highly anticipated prequel series. Austin Stowell takes on the iconic role of young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, sporting a look that's worlds away from the close-cropped style Mark Harmon made famous.
A Young Gibbs with Flowing Locks:
The first-look image reveals a youthful Gibbs with a head full of long, reddish hair – a far cry from the clean-cut agent we've come to know and love. It seems even Gibbs had a rebellious phase in his early days at NCIS Camp Pendleton, under the watchful eye of Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid).
Familiar Faces and Fresh Talent:
Joining Stowell's Gibbs are:
- Mariel Molino as Special Agent Lala Dominguez
- Tyla Abercrumbie as Field Operation Support Officer Mary Jo Sullivan
- Diany Rodriguez as Special Agent Vera Strickland, returning from the original "NCIS" universe
Mark Harmon's Voice Guides the Story:
In a delightful twist, Mark Harmon returns to the franchise to narrate the origin story of his beloved character. This adds an extra layer of authenticity and connection to the original "NCIS" world.
The Making of Leroy Jethro Gibbs:
Executive producers Gina Lucita Monreal and David J. North promise a fresh perspective, even for die-hard fans:
"This really is the making of Leroy Jethro Gibbs...We're thrilled to be bringing this new chapter to life along with Mark and Sean Harmon."
Overcoming Fan Backlash:
While anticipation is high, "NCIS: Origins" has faced some backlash from fans upset over the cancellation of "NCIS: Hawai'i." The showrunners hope the captivating story and unique take on Gibbs' early years will win over both new and longtime viewers.
Fall Premiere:
Get ready to dive into the untold history of Leroy Jethro Gibbs when "NCIS: Origins" premieres this fall. Will the long-haired Gibbs and the promise of a fresh story be enough to make this a hit? Only time will tell.
