Mark Harmon’s departure from NCIS after 19 seasons came as a huge blow to fans, but while viewers are yearning for the return of Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Mark’s former co-stars reportedly don’t share the same opinion after feeling let down due to his lack of excitement to return.
The reason behind Mark’s exit from the hit CBS drama was to “keep his career fresh,” which he stated on a special featurette for the NCIS Season 19 DVD.
After the 71-year-old actor hung up his NCIS hat last year, the series’ showrunner Steven D. Binder has been open about wanting to bring Mark’s beloved character back into action at least one more time before the drama comes to an end.
And current stars such as Sean Murray, who plays Special Agent Timothy McGee, have also voiced similar opinions on the character’s return at some point.
But according to RadarOnline, Mark has “backtracked” and remained “inconsistent” when it comes to his return after apparently being preoccupied with other projects, leaving his co-stars frustrated.
