Mark Harmon, best known for his role as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs on CBS’ NCIS, has signed with Gersh.
Harmon originated his Gibbs character in a guest appearance on JAG before being spun off to lead NCIS. He played Gibbs on the CBS procedural for nearly two decades before signing off in 2021. Going into the ninth season, he was promoted to executive producer on NCIS and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In the 11th season, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Harmon worked closely with showrunner Gary Glasberg on a special two-episode arc that reunited Gibbs with an old comrade working a case in New Orleans. Those episodes became the pilot for NCIS: New Orleans, with Harmon serving as executive producer on the spinoff.
