Harmon had some serious competition.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT NCIS' original plans for Leroy Jethro Gibbs would have significantly changed the beloved police procedural. CBS' longest-running police procedural has just celebrated its 20 years on the air, making it one of the longest-running scripted American primetime television series, only behind NBC's Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order.
According to executive producer Charles Floyd Johnson, Gibbs' character was created with Harrison Ford playing him in mind. It isn't difficult to imagine why the show's creators thought the legendary movie star to lead the special agents. By the time that the procedural was being developed, Ford was already an established actor, mostly known for his heroic but edgy characters. Johnson admitted that the idea didn't go further beyond Ford being the placeholder character for Gibbs.
When NCIS debuted in 2003, Ford had already firmly established himself as a movie star, headlining a blockbuster year after year for two decades. He didn't do any long-form series; for context, Ford didn't have a main TV role until 2022's Yellowstone prequel, 1923.
