It was previously reported that Mark Harmon would reprise the role of Gibbs in the prequel series \u201cNCIS: Origins.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\n\tWeatherly originally played DiNozzo in a two-part backdoor pilot on \u201cJAG\u201d in 2003 before \u201cNCIS\u201d launched on CBS. He went on to star in \u201cNCIS\u201d for 13 seasons and over 300 episodes, as well as appearing as the character in multiple other shows in the franchise. He then made a cameo in Season 21 of \u201cNCIS\u201d before he led the Paramount+ spinoff \u201cNCIS: Tony &amp; Ziva\u201d with Cote de Pablo. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tEven when he left \u201cNCIS,\u201d Weatherly stayed in the CBS fold. He starred in the legal drama series \u201cBull\u201d for six seasons from 2016-2022. His time on that show was not without controversy, however, with actress Eliza Dushku accusing Weathely of sexual harassment during her time on the set. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=3391\">Fox Promotes Tubi PR Executive Seana Sullivan to Corporate Communications<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe current \u201cNCIS\u201d cast includes Sean Murray, Wilmer Valderrama, Brian Dietzen, Diona Reasonover, Katrina Law and Gary Cole.
