With an execution looming, Franks races against the clock to extract the location of a missing body from a death row inmate\u2014honoring a promise he made to the victim\u2019s sister before it\u2019s too late. Below, Schmid shares insights into portraying Franks, previews the high-stakes case, and discusses the significance of mental health advocacy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Discovering Young Mike Franks:<\/strong><br \/>\nKyle Schmid: I\u2019m learning who Franks is through each new script. It\u2019s thrilling\u2014and nerve-wracking\u2014to open the next week\u2019s script without knowing what\u2019s coming, but the character\u2019s depth has been amazing to explore. The writers have truly captured his voice, showing why Gibbs respected him so deeply. Playing a character with a huge heart and a fiercely loyal \u201cfamily\u201d in NIS feels like a privilege.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Coming in This Episode:<\/strong><br \/>\nFranks\u2019 compassion is his strength and his burden. He made a promise to the victim\u2019s sister years ago, and when he finally has the chance to make good on it, he\u2019s torn apart by the emotional weight of his commitment. He takes responsibility for his words, and that integrity drives him\u2014even if it\u2019s painful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Franks\u2019 Mysterious File and His Relationship with Vera:<\/strong><br \/>\nSchmid: The file is a ticking time bomb\u2014it could empower or destroy Franks. His trust in Vera (Diany Rodriguez) adds another layer, especially given the tension between them. It\u2019s something I\u2019m excited to see unfold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Movember and Mental Health Advocacy:<\/strong><br \/>\nSchmid: I\u2019m spearheading\u00a0<em>Men for Mental<\/em>, encouraging men to openly discuss mental health and break the stigma around vulnerability. I\u2019ve lost friends to mental health struggles, and after losing my mom last November, I realized how crucial it is to connect and have honest conversations. Partnering with Movember and Gillette, we\u2019re creating awareness to help men feel less alone in their struggles. And yes, Franks\u2019 mustache is here to make a statement too!<\/p>\n<p>Catch\u00a0<em>NCIS: Origins<\/em>\u00a0Mondays at 10\/9c on CBS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the November 4 episode of\u00a0NCIS: Origins, Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid) faces intense pressure as an old case resurfaces.
