**Los Angeles, CA** – Mark Harmon, the iconic Leroy Jethro Gibbs from CBS’s long-running hit *NCIS*, may be returning to the small screen more frequently than expected. After retiring from the show in 2021, Harmon has been making sporadic appearances in the new spinoff, *NCIS: Origins*, delighting fans with his cameos.
A source close to Harmon told *Closer* magazine that the actor has found retirement less fulfilling than anticipated, leading him to consider more acting roles. The source stated that Harmon finds working with his former colleagues “a lot more stimulating than staying home with a list of repairs to be done.”
Beyond cameos, Harmon continues his involvement with the *NCIS* universe through narration. His son, Austin Harmon, who plays a young Gibbs in *NCIS: Origins*, shared with *US Weekly* that his father provided invaluable guidance on embodying the beloved character, focusing on posture and mindset. Austin praised Mark’s supportive and welcoming leadership style on set.
Fans have expressed appreciation for the “heartfelt nods” to Gibbs in *NCIS: Origins*, while Pauley Perrette, who played Abby Sciuto in *NCIS*, recently reflected on the positive impact her character had on young viewers. While retirement seemed permanent, it appears Mark Harmon is embracing new opportunities and may be gracing our screens more often in the near future.
