NCIS season 15 video: Mark Harmon shares touching story on The Talk
After all, the actor made an appearance today on The Talk alongside his new co-star Maria Bello, and while there he took advantage of the opportunity to share a brief story regarding his hero father from World War II. This was a story about how his father was shot down on two different occasions during the war. On one occasion, he ended up keeping a part of the parachute in which he used in his escape, and his grandmother then was able to use some of the material there to make a wedding dress for his mother. It’s a pretty sweet story, and you get to see Bello speak at the tail end as a response to that.
In watching this video, it’s pretty clear why Harmon does want to continue being a part of this franchise; after all, the military is in high regard in his family, and doing this show helps to honor their legacy somewhat. As for Bello, she’s coming on board at a time when there is already a rich history there, but her character of Jackie Sloane may end up forging a close bond with Agent Gibbs. She’s someone who is tough, smart, and has the capability of challenging him here and there. This is something that Gibbs does still need, given that he’s a man who lives by a routine and sometimes, changing up that routine here and there can be a good thing. The first part of it that will change comes courtesy of what happens in the premiere episode — you’re going to see him find his way back to Washington after many months being trapped in Paraguay. This in itself is enough to change a man, so you’ll have a chance to watch all of this play out.
Of course, there is more that came from this appearance beyond this little video enclosed in this CarterMatt article, but this is the only part of it that CBS put out on their social media channels at the moment. Bello isn’t actually going to make her first appearance until you get around to the fourth episode of the season, so this is really just a small taste of what is going to be coming up on the show more so than anything else. What works so effectively about when Bello is joining is that right at that point, things at the NCIS office will probably start to get back to normal. That changes the moment she arrives.

I am feeling and hearing from others a real excitement for this new season. As a real fan, I am always highly anticipating the return of my favorite show but this year, there seems to be more excitement from many corners. That’s fantastic, especially for a remarkable 15th season. That’s for your coverage!

I watched the “Talk” episode online–and was truly surprised and touched by the revelation. I’ve often seen references to Mark’s father-Tom Harmon–but it’s always been how his father was a Heisman Trophy football player and broadcaster–nothing more—it was a beautiful story and the way Maria Bello responded I can see her very much part of the NCIS z”family”! More excited than ever for September 26 and Season 15 to begin!
