Mark Harmon is, allegedly, struggling with his new life after quitting NCIS Season 19.
According to National Enquirer, Mark Harmon was never used to doing household chores because his wife is in the one in charge of it. But after quitting NCIS after 19 seasons, he was forced to learn the ropes at home.
“Mark’s trying his best to adapt to a domesticated lifestyle, but he’s used to running things at NCIS – and he can’t give up control or anything. He knows it’s Pam’s show around the house and he’s trying to help out while not stepping on her toes,” the source said.
Mark Harmon quit ‘NCIS’ for his family
The source added that Harmon decided to quit NCIS after 18 years so that he could spend more time with his wife and their family.
“Mark cut back at NCIS to make Pam happy, but he’ll still carve out time to continue working as executive producer of NCIS while running his professional empire from home. Mark and Pam have made the ultimate compromise. She gets him home and he gets to work on passion projects,” the source said.
Rumors debunked
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt.
After all, Mark Harmon quitting NCIS doesn’t have anything to do with the actor trying to be domesticated.
To make the tabloid’s story more convincing, they published several photos of Harmon accepting huge delivery boxes.
However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that Harmon is trying to be domesticated or that this is his first time doing so.
While it may be true that the actor wants to spend more time with his family, Harmon never explicitly said that this is why he quit NCIS.
Mark Harmon will appear in ‘NCIS’ but in a limited capacity
In fact, Harmon already wanted to exit NCIS last season, but he was forced to stay to ensure that the hit NBC series will be renewed for Season 19.
It is also important to note that Mark Harmon serves as a producer on the show. And he will continue to make appearances in NCIS as Gibbs but in a limited capacity.
