โ€˜Plot-wise, this character has taken the path that it did. I thought it was honest and OK.โ€™
He initially secured the role after playing a Secret Service special agent in four episodes of The West Wing in 2002.Although he spent a year on the credits for NCIS after his exit, since Gibbs wasnโ€™t killed off, Markโ€™s name was eventually removed.However executive producer Steven D. Binder didnโ€™t rule out a return for the former lead, sharing: โ€˜Those are things that we have not sorted out quite yet, so the answer is we will wait and see.โ€™
