NCIS: Origins offers a fresh take on the iconic character Leroy Jethro Gibbs, famously portrayed by Mark Harmon. CBS has released a first-look trailer, revealing Austin Stowell as a young Gibbs, who sports longer, reddish hair—quite different from Harmon’s short, clean-cut style. In the preview image, Stowell’s Gibbs has an optimistic expression, showcasing a youthful vigor.
The series starts with Gibbs at NCIS Camp Pendleton under the guidance of Mike Franks, played by Kyle Schmid. Joining the cast are Maria Molino as Special Agent Lala Dominguez, Tyler Abber-Crombie as Field Operations Support Officer Mary Joe Sullivan, and Dianna Rodriguez as Special Agent Vera Strickland, a character familiar to long-time fans.
NCIS: Origins ties back to the original NCIS world, offering fans a nostalgic yet new perspective on Gibbs’ early career.
