The actor refused all offers of help from the delivery man. Mark, who has been married to Mork & Mindy alum Pam Dawson for 34 years, was casually dressed in denim jeans, a sweater and suede shoes. He was later seen walking his two dogs around the neighborhood. Producer Steve Binder released a statement earlier this month confirming Mark’s exit, but clarified he would still be an executive producer on the CBS show. ‘As an executive producer and dear friend, Mark continues to be an integral part of the fabric of the show,’ Binder said. ‘Our north star has always been staying true to our characters, and that truth has always guided the stories we tell and where those characters go. ‘So regarding the future of Gibbs, as long-time fans of the show may have noticed over the years… never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs out,’ Binder concluded.

Harmon’s final episode on the show followed Gibbs solving a case of a conglomerate CEO hiring a contract killer to take out those opposed to a copper mine. When Gibbs was offered his badge back by Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll), Gibbs revealed he was leaving the agency, choosing to stay in Alaska, where he’d been for the past few episodes. In the episode, FBI Agent Parker (Gary Cole) stopped by Gibbs’ home after he had gone AWOL, telling Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), ‘something tells me he’s not coming back.’ There were rumors that Mark was not going to return for the 19th season, though it’s believed that he came back because he learned CBS might not renew the show if he didn’t return. NCIS was a spin-off of CBS’ JAG, both of which were created by Donald P. Bellisario, which ran for 10 seasons between 1995 and 2005. The show ended up spawning a number of CBS spin-offs itself, NCIS: Los Angeles, which debuted in 2009 and is currently in its 13th season, NCIS: New Orleans, which was canceled after seven seasons, and NCIS: Hawaii, which debuted this fall.
