Mark Harmon is “bored” with his semi-retirement, a source tells Examiner.
The actor, 74, recently guest-starred on a crossover episode of NCIS and NCIS: Origins that airs on CBS on Tuesday, November 11, and “It’s made him realize how much he misses being in front of the camera,” says the source.
When Harmon left the show in 2021 after 18 seasons, his character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, left to live in Alaska.
The West Wing alum has spent his downtime producing and narrating the spinoff, reprising his role as Jamie Lee Curtis’ husband in Freakier Friday, as well as writing a spy novel.
“Mark tried to enjoy the downtime, but the truth is, he misses the routine, the crew, the fans, the whole buzz of being on set,” says the source.

And while NCIS is trying to lure him back full-time,“he’s saying he wants to stretch himself and has started looking at projects outside the NCIS universe, including movies,” adds the source.
“He’s open to the right project that will keep him busy and inspired,” continues the source, joking his wife of nearly 40 years, actress Pam Dawber, “will be the first to tell you she would be glad if he got out of the house again.”
“He’s turning 75 next year, but he’s got plenty of gas left in the tank and the truth is he’s just not ready to retire — he probably never will be!”
