It’s been over two decades since NCIS first premiered, and fans still can’t get enough of the crime-solving team that became a household name. From Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs to the quirky Abby Sciuto, each character left a lasting impression. But time moves fast—and so have the stars of the show. While some have continued to work in television, others have stepped away from the spotlight altogether.

Mark Harmon, once the stoic face of NCIS, now lives a quieter life at 73. Though he exited the series in 2021, his legacy on the show remains untouchable. Pauley Perrette, who played fan-favorite Abby, shocked many with her drastic new look after retiring from acting. Meanwhile, Sean Murray (McGee) and Brian Dietzen (Palmer) have both matured gracefully, still appearing on the show and connecting with longtime viewers.

Some transformations are downright surprising. Michael Weatherly, known for his charm as Tony DiNozzo, looks nearly unrecognizable with his silver hair and low-key lifestyle. Cote de Pablo, who returned briefly as Ziva, remains stunning and private as ever. Looking at the cast in 2025 is like flipping through a living photo album—filled with nostalgia, surprises, and a deep appreciation for the characters who became part of our TV family.
