The View: Mark Harmon drops NCIS confession<\/h3>\n

Mark Harmon may not be delivering any hard-hitting lines on NCIS anymore but he just dropped a surprising confession about the series on The View.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the 72-year-old NCIS alum, who played Leroy Jethro Gibbs in the leading NBC crime drama, made an appearance on The View to look back at his lengthy Hollywood career.<\/p>\n

While discussing his new career move of writing a book, Mark also made an unexpected confession about the long-running drama NCIS, which he starred in for 19 seasons.<\/p>\n

Host Whoopi Goldberg asked Mark how he came up with the concept of his new project, which he worked on alongside Leon Carroll Jr.<\/p>\n

Despite the departure from his acting role in the drama, his new project still has its ties to NCIS.<\/p>\n

In response to Whoopi’s question, Mark recalled the moment he landed the job on the CBS drama, explaining: “When I first got the job and I first Googled NCIS there’s no information on it.<\/p>\n

“And that’s by design,” Mark added, noting: “Because these individuals have been around for a long time and they did very quiet, very important work and no one knew about it and no one talked about it.<\/p>\n

The Agent Gibbs star added: “And so when I got on the set, the first I really met was Leon Carroll Jr and he was my guy, and there’s a big difference here. He is the real deal,” Mark continued as he heavily praised the real-life retired agent who was sat in the front row of the audience.<\/p>\n

“And what he did was the important job quietly for so many years and when we talked about the idea of doing a book, because the show was originally based on real cases, we actually just went through history and went back to what was the beginning of NCIS.<\/p>\n

He then revealed: “That’s where Douglas came from,” who is the character in his new book titled Ghosts of Honolulu.<\/p>\n

“And so I said initially I wouldn’t touch this project without Leon Carroll Jr and he’s my partner and I love the man,” Mark candidly noted.<\/p>\n

Through his new book, Mark explored the true story of Douglas Wada, a Japanese-American born in Hawai’i, who became a spy for the U.S. Navy and his rivalry with Japanese spy Takeo Yoshikawa.<\/p>\n
