Meet Young Agent Gibbs in the NCIS: Origins Trailer

Actor Austin Stowell takes over the role held by Mark Harmon for 20 years.

Before he was the boss, he was just a scared young recruit. Leroy Jethro Gibbs' early life, starting his career as a newly graduated special agent from Camp Pendleton, will be told in great detail in NCIS: Origins. First look with the trailer (below).

“As he arrives in the brand new Camp Pendleton office, he carves out a place for himself within a diverse and courageous team led by the legend Mike Franks.” details the synopsis.

It is Austin Stowell (relatively unknown to the battalion) who takes over the role of Gibbs (played for 20 years by Mark Harmon), while Kyle Schmid (Big Sky) will be his mentor, Franks.

The series regular cast also includes Mariel Molino (Promised Land) as Special Agent Lala Dominguez, a former Marine with a dark sense of humor and Tyla Abercrumbie (The Chi) in the role of Field Operations Support Officer Mary Jo Hayes. The rest of the team will consist of Diane Rodriguez (The Blacklist) as tough-as-nails special agent Vera Strickland and Caleb Foote (Made for Love) will be Agent Benjamin “Randy” Randolf, the “golden boy” tasked with showing Gibbs the ropes.

NCIS: Origins will be launched on Monday, October 14 on CBS. The series could be broadcast in France on Paramount +, like the other spin-off Tony & Ziva.
