Mark Harmon, beloved for his role as Leroy Gibbs in NCIS, initially worked as a shoe salesman. A chance encounter with a stranger at a bar, who was unhappy in his job, inspired Harmon to pursue acting. He starred in NCIS for nearly 20 years before leaving in 2021 during season 19, seeking fresh challenges. Showrunner Steve Binder hinted at a possible return, stating, “Never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs out.” Harmon is married to actress Pam Dawber and has two children.
