Mark Harmon Tells All! - TV Guide
Leroy Jethro Gibbs is the calm in the eye of NCIS’ hurricane—a strong, silent type in the midst of a whole cast of strong, blabby types.
(In the season premiere, Tony DiNozzo even described Gibbs as “a functional mute” to a curious terrorist.)
Fortunately for our purposes, Mark Harmon, while also strong, is just a little less silent. In this exclusive Q&A,
he talks about where the characters on the top show on television have been—and, surprisingly, about how he doesn’t want to know where they’re going.
Are you tired yet of talking about being No. 1?
I don’t know that you get tired about that. This group so deserves it in a business where deserve doesn’t matter.
It’s truly odd that we would be in year 7 doing the best numbers we’ve ever done. That’s unusual.
But I think we’re doing it better than we’ve ever done it before, too.
Now we’re hearing about teenagers being into the show, which certainly wasn’t the perception before,
and still more people stumbling across reruns on the USA Network
and realizing that it’s a funny show and not a “military drama,” a stigma that has only gradually been shed.
It takes time. I think all of us here signed on to play specific characters.
I’ve never been part of an ensemble like this where everybody’s just so happy playing the role they’re playing.
You can’t write Abby lines for Gibbs, and you can’t write Gibbs lines for DiNozzo, and you can’t write DiNozzo lines for McGee,
and you can’t write Ziva lines for anybody. Everybody is personally driven by the characters we all play here.
That it’s taken time doesn’t surprise me. We’re in a business here where sometimes you don’t get time.
This show jumped off somewhere in the 30s [in the Nielsen ratings], and that’s where we were for a while.
And sl:-), with the build of summer reruns, we started getting some more viewers. In all that mix,
the show has changed and adapted over the years as well. And with USA and Ion and all that, it’s hard to get away from it right now.
Plus, this is a show that’s always rerun well. You can watch this show a number of times and still think you haven’t seen it, and maybe that’s a good thing.
When NCIS began, you were known for playing roles with a sunnier presence.
I have a picture of you in my mind on the poster for the movie Summer School, warm and smiling…[laughing]
And then you meet Gibbs.
He’s pretty stoic. Did the character feel similar at all to other characters you’d played on other series?
No, it actually doesn’t. And it’s always changed for me here, too. I think he’s different from what he started as being.
Breaking Gibbs down initially, his life and times as a Marine, and then separating that in some ways from his personal life…. These are all things that,
at one point, were just talked about, as part of the bible that writers have and draw from. And then over seven years,
you get more definition and more ability to hang onto certain tings. I kid about it, but for a number of years here,
I was playing that Gibbs was married three times, and then all of a sudden I found out that he’d been married four.
I mean, that was okay, so you adjust. But I think one of the nice things they do here is challenge the characters. Because a lot of times,
individually and as a group, we’ll pick up a script and realize that we have read something that we didn’t know.
It’s highly probable that I don’t know all the secrets of this character, and that makes him fun to play.
Maybe he’s got some qualities of me and maybe he doesn’t, I’m not sure. But I’m very comfortable with it, and not bored, either.
It’s interesting how he fits into the ensemble, since most of the other characters are highly verbal and Gibbs stands in stark contrast to that.
You sometimes get the feeling Gibbs is a guy who almost wishes he could join in the mirth, or that he has a slight air of mischief about him that,
as the leader, he can never really afford to exercise too much.
That’s always in the wings here. You’ve seen enough of our rehearsals here to know that some of ‘em are just downright silly.
And then there’s some molding that goes on somehow off the page to develop the characters.
We all understand our jobs here. And a lot of times Gibbs’ job is to play the point, to drive the scene.
Our scene can get distracted in many different directions with many different characters doing what we do.
But it’s fun to watch this group take a scene and a morning read, just from standing up and blocking the scene, to what actually gets put down on camera.
And directors who work here and actors who work here generally find that process completely enjoyable. It’s been earned here. It wasn’t like that from the start.
Most of the characters wear their hearts on their sleeves. You get to be the one everybody wonders what he’s thinking. That must be fun to play, too.
It is. There’s a whole lot you don’t know about him. He obviously has really poor taste in women.
And if in any kind of linear fashion you’re talking about relationships, he’s really had one great love in his life, and that ended abruptly.
And I don’t know if he’ll ever get over that. If we do this show for a number of more years, we’ll see.
But that’s part of what the writers have also done over the years: They’ve pushed more into those personal story lines with everybody.
It’s honest storytelling, and you have to give more. We can’t be playing the same characters that we were playing in year 1, year 2.
We have to change, and either your audience changes with you and accepts that and looks forward to that, or they turn you off. We’ve been fortunate here.
Is there any simple way to explain how Gibbs has evolved?
I just think he’s matured. This is still about the job for him. But he’s not burning his boats anymore. He’s sailing ‘em.
He’s putting ‘em on the water. As far as I know, this is the first one that’s actually been out on the water and used. That’s progress.
[laughs] We’re gonna actually see this year that Gibbs has a living room. We’ve never seen that before. He actually has some place other than his basement.
These are thought up well in advance. It’s not like the writers are playing games with you. They’re just letting this out sl:-).
There’s nothing in this show that is not attached. Everything has a thread somewhere. We’re very fortunate to have kept this writing team together as long as we have.
It’s important. And I think it’s odd, too. A number of these writers have written 20, 30 episodes, and in network television, that doesn’t happen much.
People don’t stay together that long. As opposed to the first four years here, where this was a tough job for a writer. A lot of writers left here.
Some couldn’t do the show, and certainly some that could left. That’s changed. And it’s become a place—just like with the actors,
just like with the crew—that people look forward to coming to. And we’re all together [physically] this year.
This is the first year the writers have been up here [at the Valencia soundstages]. They used to work out of Sunset Gower,
so that’s been a good change too. The writers come here every week, they walk down the hall, they open the door, they say “Hey, what about this?”
If they’ve got a question, they come on the set and ask you. It’s the team thing, which is really what the heart of this show is.
In theory this is a procedural show first and a show about personal lives second…
What do you think about that? Do you believe that?
