The series premiere of NCIS: Origins debuts Monday night at 9 p.m. ET on CBS
CBS brings us another spinoff of the hit show NCIS with the series premiere of NCIS: Origins on Monday night at 9 p.m. ET. Mark Harmon, widely known for playing Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs on the hit CBS drama NCIS, is stepping behind the camera as the executive producer and narrator of a new spin-off prequel, NCIS: Origins. After nearly two decades in the role, Harmon is now helping bring to life the early years of Gibbs, with actor Austin Stowell portraying a young version of the iconic character. “You come in and audition here for years and years, and all of a sudden, you’re presented with a badge with your name on it,” Stowell said about now working on the Paramount lot. The show’s set features scenes at Camp Pendleton, including locations like Daley’s Tavern, a bar just off-base. For Stowell, it is a role of a lifetime. “I felt very confident in what I could bring to the character, and then the second you walk in the room, that all goes out the window,” Stowell said according to cbsnews.com.
