It’s been over two decades since NCIS first hit our screens in 2003, and the show has become a television institution. But where are the original stars of NCIS now? Here’s a look at what some of the most iconic cast members are up to in 2025.
Mark Harmon (Leroy Jethro Gibbs)
After stepping away from the series in 2021, Mark Harmon has kept a low profile. However, in early 2025, rumors are swirling that he may return in a guest appearance. Harmon remains involved behind the scenes as an executive producer.
Michael Weatherly (Tony DiNozzo)
Weatherly recently hinted at a possible NCIS reunion with Cote de Pablo (Ziva David). Since leaving NCIS, he starred in Bull and has been active in charity work. Fans are eager for his potential return.
Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto)
Perrette has retired from acting and is focused on humanitarian efforts and art. Though she has made it clear she has no plans to return to acting, she continues to be active on social media.
David McCallum (Ducky Mallard)
Sadly, NCIS fans said goodbye to David McCallum in late 2023, when he passed away at the age of 90. He was beloved not only as Ducky but as one of the classiest figures in television history.
Sean Murray (Tim McGee)
Sean Murray is still with NCIS and has grown into one of the show’s core anchors. His role has evolved significantly over the years, and he’s now a fan-favorite as Special Agent McGee.
As NCIS continues into new seasons, the legacy of its original cast remains strong. Whether they’ve moved on or stayed with the show, they continue to be loved by fans worldwide.
