In addition to solving crimes and saving lives on “NCIS,” Mark Harmon was responsible for rescuing two young boys from a burning vehicle. In addition, Harmon had just celebrated his 71st birthday and maintains a workout routine that he does daily.

Mark Harmon, who stars in the crime drama “NCIS,” is one of the characters that has remained consistent throughout the series. Because of the incredible work he has done as Naval Criminal Investigative Service Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs over the course of 19 years, viewers have been captivated by the program.

After maintaining the life of his character for close to twenty years on “NCIS,” Harmon acknowledged his upcoming departure from the show.

The actor said that he has always been attracted to his NCIS identity and that the reason for this is because he loves the challenge of trying to make it new and distinct.

Even though Harmon is 71 years old, it seems as if Gibbs’ character might perhaps make a reappearance in the near future. The actor gave his fans some reassurance by saying that neither he nor his character had yet gone away, but he did imply that he would be starting a new chapter in his career.

In the last scene of Harmon’s last episode of “NCIS,” he broke the news to his colleagues that he would be remaining in Alaska and would not be returning to his role as an investigator. Gibbs did offer a schedule for the duration of his time spent in Alaska.

After Harmon’s departure, the show’s executive producer and showrunner, Steven D. Binder, delivered a statement that helped to ease the concerns of longtime followers of the program.

Binder has said that the door is left open for the character to return, therefore they are more than welcome to do so. In addition, he said, “Therefore, as longtime fans of the program may have witnessed throughout the years with respect to the future of Gibbs… Never discount Leroy Jethro Gibbs as a viable option.”

Although Harmon is most recognized for his work as a criminal investigator, he has also acted in a number of other films, including a television movie in which he portrayed the role of serial murderer Ted Bundy. Among his other roles, Harmon is best known for his work in the television series Law & Order.

In addition to his heroic deeds on television, it was recently revealed that Harmon is also a hero in real life. When the two young men were driving their vehicle and smashed it near to the actor’s home in Brentwood, he went to their aid and saved them.

Two young men, both 16 years old, were driving a car when they crashed into a tree at around 7:15 p.m. because they were unable to detect a turn. The vehicle rolled over and started burning.

According to Brian Humphrey, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department, Harmon reacted quickly, shattered the glass with a sledgehammer, and then hauled the boys outside of the building.

According to Humphrey, one of the boys had a severe burn that affected thirty percent of his body, but he was sent to the emergency room at the UCLA Medical Center soon away.

Despite only having sustained relatively minor injuries, the second teenager was sent to St. John’s Hospital and Health Center to be treated for them.

Even though Harmon is 71 years old, he places a high priority on maintaining his physical health and energy. Since the actor was the starting quarterback for the UCLA football team from the ages of 18 to 22, practice was a consistent component of his daily routine.

It was at this time in his life that he realized how important it was to take care of his body and stay in shape. Fans admire him, in addition, for the effort that he puts into preserving his strength and health.

Pilates has emerged as Harmon’s primary form of exercise since he no longer has the same level of stamina as he had when he was 18 years old. The actor said that even though it was challenging, he liked the opportunity to push himself. He remarked that

My weekly mileage used to range from 60 to 70 miles. At this very moment, I wish I could get some of it back. The secret to successful Pilates is proper machine control, which makes the exercise twice as challenging.

Harmon, who is obviously self-conscious about his birthday, has a strong desire for others to make a big deal out of the occasion. His co-stars on “NCIS,” Michael Weatherly and Lauren Holly, as well as a new member of the cast named Lauren Holly, who worked with Harmon on “Chicago Hope,” defied him.

Since it is Mark Harmon’s birthday, Weatherly and Holly decided that they wanted to throw a big party for him. To get things rolling, they had the phrase printed on 150 t-shirts and handed them out to every member of the crew.

The next thing on the agenda for Harmon’s birthday party was to decorate his trailer. Weatherly and Holly approached this venture with a great deal of seriousness.

Holly said that she did not leave her hotel room until Weatherly gave the signal that the gun battle was over, at which point she exited the building. At three in the morning, Holly got back in her car while still wearing her pajamas and went back to deliver the party supplies.

Even the art department had a hand in putting together this birthday surprise for the employee. They added decorations to all four walls of Harmon’s trailer and placed a plasma screen that displayed a portrait of him.

Holly and Weatherly were responsible for the upkeep of the inside. Confetti, pinatas, and helium balloons were some of the props that the “NCIS” cast used to spruce up that trailer.

Before the big reveal could take place, Holly had to make the trek back to Chicago to be with her husband and children, so she had to wait for her colleagues to tell her how her surprise went before she could find out how it turned out.

When Harmon arrived on set, everyone was wearing the same t-shirt, and he said that from a distance, it seemed as if there was a protest, which scared him. Everyone was wearing the same t-shirt. When he finally got a closer look, he was still nervous, and the first question that sprang to his mind was, “Who did this?”

Holly was apprehensive about how Harmon would react to the fact that she and the team had been put under the bus. She was taken aback when she found out that the actor treasured it and loved the care and support from his “NCIS” family.

Harmon continues to play a key part in the program despite the fact that he has left it. The cast of “NCIS” has kept up the tradition that they give the actor a birthday shout-out on the show every year, and they do so in continuation of the birthday tradition.
