Mark Harmon Confirms Rumors: Why He Had To Leave NCIS..?

Mark Harmon, who played Leroy Jethro Gibbs for nearly two decades on NCIS, shocked fans when he left the show in Season 19. For years, rumors swirled about his departure, and now Harmon has finally addressed the real reason behind his exit. In a recent interview, the actor confirmed that he felt it was time to step away, believing Gibbs’ story had reached a natural conclusion. He explained that the character staying in Alaska, away from the team, was a fitting way to close his arc while leaving the door open for a possible return.

Harmon also admitted that the intense filming schedule played a role in his decision. After leading the show for so long, he was ready to take a step back and focus on other aspects of his life. While some speculated about behind-the-scenes drama, Harmon reassured fans that his departure was purely a creative decision. However, he remains connected to the show as an executive producer, still having influence over its direction.

Despite his absence, Gibbs’ presence is still felt on NCIS, with characters occasionally mentioning him. Fans continue to hope for a surprise appearance in the future, especially for a milestone episode. Harmon himself has not ruled out a return, stating that if the story is right, he would consider stepping back into the role.

For now, NCIS continues to evolve without its longtime leader, but Gibbs’ legacy remains a vital part of the show. Whether or not Harmon returns, his impact on the series is undeniable, and his departure marks the end of an era in NCIS history.
