The official NCIS: Origins social media account recently shared a video celebrating the one-year anniversary of the cast’s first table read, and it is incredibly heartwarming. The NCIS: Origins cast got together last year to star in the first prequel in the NCIS universe, centered on Gibbs’ life in the 1990s. Since then, the show and its characters have grown in popularity.
The video then reveals the NCIS: Origins cast introducing themselves and their characters before they begin reading their first scripts. Kyle Schmid starts the table read by bringing his character, Franks, to life. The happiness of the crew is palpable in the video as everyone involved is excited about NCIS: Origins’ potential.
What NCIS: Origins’ First Table Read Throwback Means
NCIS: Origins Has Grown A Lot
The posted video is great because it shows how much NCIS: Origins has grown. The show began as an idea, but it has since grown into a well-written story. It also began as a show that was seen as just a Gibbs prequel. However, it also holds valuable stories for Franks, Lala, and Randy, and other members of Gibbs’ team.
Seeing the excitement on everyone’s faces at the first NCIS: Origins table read also shows how much faith the crew had in the project. NCIS is a major franchise. Being signed on to be part of an NCIS spinoff is a big deal by itself, but having faith that it will be a great show is an even bigger accomplishment.
Our Take On NCIS: Origins’ First Table Read Throwback
NCIS: Origins Has Come A Long Way
The throwback video is great for nostalgia. Since the beginning, NCIS: Origins has developed such deep stories that NCIS: Origins season 2 has a lot to answer for. However, the show began with a solid Gibbs background that gave the impression of there being little room in the prequel to expand the stories of his life in the early 1990s.
NCIS: Origins proves that wrong. As a result, seeing the starting point of the show makes everything all the more heartwarming because the characters have all grown so much. NCIS: Origins has become a big deal and has even become comparable to its flagship. The throwback was the perfect reminder of how far shows can go.
