While fans may be used to many different spin-offs of the flagship series, NCIS: Origins presents itself a little differently. Both Mark Harmon and newcomer Austin Stowell talked to People about what viewers can expect when the new series premieres. Unlike other spin-offs, New Orleans and Hawaii, Origins will take fans back in time to the humble beginnings of none other than Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Lest viewers forget, NCIS is in itself a spin-off, an offshoot of the Naval lawyer series, JAG. Harmon arrived in a backdoor pilot that would give birth to the long-running crime procedural. Origins will take place before JAG, which premiered in 1995. Viewers will see Gibbs as a younger man, this time in 1991, and not quite how he is portrayed in later years.
