The world of NCIS is expansive, with spin-offs set in various cities, but the OG cast members are the ones who truly resonate with fans. Mark Harmon, the iconic Leroy Jethro Gibbs, may have been the highest-paid, but let’s not forget the legendary David McCallum, who left a lasting impact in his supporting role.
With a career spanning over six decades, McCallum’s talent shone brightly in shows like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and NCIS. Although Harmon took the lead and the larger paycheck, McCallum’s extensive acting background truly set him apart.
But even with Harmon’s departure from NCIS, his presence is still felt as an Executive Producer. The quiet exit of his character Gibbs left fans intrigued for potential future appearances. So, for those who miss Harmon’s Gibbs, don’t worry – he may just make a surprise cameo anytime!
