Before he was the leader, he was just a young agent learning the ropes. Now we get to watch it happen.
Coming this fall, NCIS: Origins takes us back to the early 1990s — and introduces a younger version of Leroy Jethro Gibbs, played by Austin Stowell. With Mark Harmon narrating and producing, this isn’t just a prequel — it’s personal.
Stowell steps into massive shoes, but early buzz says he nails Gibbs’s quiet strength and intensity. The show will explore his early days with NCIS, his mentors, and the events that shaped him into the iconic leader we knew and loved.
For longtime fans, this is a chance to peel back the layers — to understand Gibbs not just as a boss, but as a man still finding his moral code.
And for new viewers? It’s the perfect entry point into one of TV’s most legendary franchises.
