If we can't find a gifset which we like than yes...

I'm planning to finish Mark's bio this week.

I was thinking that some of the actors have another thread within ... Wilmer has an active thread within That '70s show, and it's the same for Susanna Thompson within Arrow, I think...

Maybe it'd be a good idea to link the "other" thread within the OP that we made for them?

Just a thought...

[shinebrighterxx]

It would be hard to keep track of when new threads are opened on those boards to update them. That is what thread tags are for - linking those threads. We could mention they exist though but linking i don't think will work

[florerr]

Right. I forgot about the threads "changing links" every now and then...

But we could still mention their existance...

[shinebrighterxx]

Yes
I think Wilmer is the only one who has one . The only other thread i can think of is Bull on the Television board for Michael

[florerr]

And there's Susanna Thompson - Arrow's Moira Queen - who also has her own separate thread here & within the Arrow board...

[shinebrighterxx]

I guess, but its not an active thread on Arrow (hasn't been posted in since 2017) & she wasn't a main on NCIS. I also think Susanna's tag keeps being deleted due to her threads not being posted in. Doesn't feel like a necessary link up to me. Mention she was in Arrow, sure. Maybe say you can check out threads on that board but if they aren't active it may be linking to nothing

[florerr]

Okay. I didn't know about the distinction between active and inactive threads. But I'll keep it in mind if we ever reach her OP...

[shinebrighterxx]

What do you mean distinction? I just don't think hers is necessary, you're welcome to disagree whenever we do get to hers.

I'll try read over what you've written for Gibbs over the weekend

[florerr]

No, I agree with you..

.. I just had no idea how the tags work with inactive threads...

[shinebrighterxx]

oh that, yeah its quite frustrating. I get why they do it, its just them clearing out the tags, but if a tag isn't used in 3 months I think it is (as in the threads aren't posted in) then they risk being deleted . This is why I tag all the episode threads with the actor & character names

[florerr]

That's very wise of you


I'm planning to upload Mark's bio tonight...

I'm not the most satisfied with Gibbs' bio, it's not my best writing... So feel free to add/delete as you see fit...

Mark's bio as promised:

Spoiler:

Thomas Mark Harmon was born in September 2, 1951 in Burbank, California. He is the only son of Tom Harmon, a former NFL player and WWII veteran, and of Elyse Knox an actress and model. His parents initially met in 1940, but only got married in 1944, after Tom returned from the World War where he served as part of the Army Air Corps. For his service he was awarded both a Silver Star & a Purple Heart.

But back to Mark: he has two older sisters - Kristin and Kelly. Kristin was an actress and artist who married recording artist Ricky Nelson when she was only 17. They had a four children together, and a rocky marriage: during the '80s Mark fought for the custody of his sister's children, but in the end decided to withdraw from court. His other sister - Kelly - was first married to John DeLorean, but later on married Robert L. "Bob" Miller in 1984. They have three children altogether from previous marriages.

Compared to his sisters' life Mark had a fairly straight forward live. He played quarterback at UCLA, got his BA degree in Communication, then was drawn into acting in the '70s. Before he made a career in acting, he used to work as a carpenter. He is married to Pam Dawber, actress of ... , since 1987. They have two sons: Sean Thomas Harmon, and Ty Christian Harmon. They keep a low profile, rarely appearing on events together or talking about the other at interviews.

He's acting career started in 1973, but he only gained recognition after his recurring role in St. Elsewhere between '83 - '86. He played alongside many actors, some of them even appeared in NCIS years later. He originally met Patrick Labyorteaux - JAG's very own Bud - in 1986 during the set of Let's Get Harry. He first worked together with Rocky Carroll and Lauren Holly in the medical drama, Chicago Hope (1994 - 2000). Lastly, he has starred in Freaky Friday along with Jamie Lee Curtis, who years later had a recurring role in the 9th season of NCIS.

Mark and his most well-known character Gibbs share a few personality traits. Both love their privacy, both have a knack when it comes to building something out of wood, and both of their fathers were in Army Air Corps during WWII. Moreover, Mark is also known for his bravery - a few years ago he saved a guy from a burning car.

Yeah I may have started just writing up other things using what you'd had ... didn't finish going through it though... (going to watch NOLA from last night now instead of writing more) Your bio for Mark however I barely touched at all

Welcome to the 7th
Leroy Jethro Gibbs/Mark Harmon
Appreciation Thread!

Name Gif (pilot or backdoor pilot)
Avenging Shannon & Kelly's Death (two gifs)

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs is a (former) marine sniper turned NCIS agent, played by Mark Harmon. He joined NCIS prior to the show in August 1991, but we first meet him in the JAG backdoor pilot episodes 'Ice Queen' and 'Meltdown' which aired in 2003. Over the years we have learned that he has a broken and complicated background, with new pieces being uncovered even now over a decade later. You could also say that he is a man of many names; depending on the character he is talking to he has been referred to as 'Gibbs', 'Boss', 'Probie', 'Leroy', or 'Jethro'. He is the, sometimes enigmatic, leader of the team, who has a tendency to only communicate in grunts. Tony once described him as a 'functioning mute'. When investigating and solving cases Gibbs prefers to use old school methods, tricks, and his gut. He has a set of rules for everything and expects his team to learn and follow these rules.

For several seasons we do not know much about his personal life but over time we have learned that he has been engaged 5 times, married 4 times, divorced 3 times, and prefers red heads. Over the years he has also had a number of girlfriends, both in the past and present, including; Special Agent (later Director) Jenny Shepard, Lt. Col. Hollis Mann, and Dr. Samantha Ryan. One of the biggest secret he has kept from the people closest to him was his first wife Shannon and their daughter Kelly. It was their death which led him to join NCIS. He does this only after avenging their death by killing Pedro Hernandez. Something which still haunts him to this day.

****

Gibbs has healed a lot emotionally over the years, he has regular appointments with Grace - a psychologist recommended to him back in s13. Still he constantly battles with the guilt of killing Pedro Hernandez and his family, with "allowing" Kate, Jenny, Dorneget and Diane to get killed. He has a tendency to see ghosts whenever he is feeling guilty over a bad event. He either sees Mike, who was like a father to him, or Kelly, his young daughter, or even Diane. He loves his team as his own family, for him they are not just co-workers, but his children as well.

"The toughest guy I've ever met. I guess it's safe to say that no
one had a tougher life than Agent Gibbs." - Palmer

Should our name gif say 'The Boss' or 'The Fearless Leader'?

[florerr]

I love how you edited (started to ) what I had for Gibbs

I think The Fearless Leader fits him more

Is there anything left for me to do?

[shinebrighterxx]

Oh good, I'm glad. I kinda felt like I was changing it a lot & felt bad

That's what I was thinking too . I like the sound of 'fearless leader' too

It quite possibly is all me now
