Austin Stowell as Leroy Jethro Gibbs – Returning!
Austin Stowell will obviously be returning as the young version of Leroy Jethro Gibbs!
In a recent interview with Deadline, he opened up about playing the iconic role created by Mark Harmon: “I was scared for so many reasons. There were just so many first times. For me, it was the first time doing a network TV show, first time playing a character that had already been portrayed before me, first time to be number one on a call sheet.”
He added, “I’m someone who likes pressure; I like to be put in that situation. I want the ball in my hands at the bottom of the ninth. I feel like I do thrive in that situation. But I don’t think I’ll ever quite get comfortable because, at the end of the day, Gibbs will always be Mark Harmon’s character, and I’m playing the younger version of that.”
Kyle Schmid as Mike Franks – Returning!
Kyle should be back for season 2! He was seen in a photo promoting season 2, so that’s proof enough for fans! Franks is also a character from the original NCIS series as well, if you aren’t aware.
Kyle posted how grateful he was to land this role just a few weeks ago in Instagram, writing, “It’s been a 30 year journey. Along the way I’ve met so many inspiring people that have guided me along the way. Grateful for this moment. Soaking it up. I love this show, I love this character and I love this family. Thank you.”
