Off-screen, their relationship has been a topic of interest for viewers who have followed their journeys both inside and outside of NCIS.<\/p>\n<p>Cote de Pablo has expressed her deep respect and admiration for Mark Harmon in several interviews over the years. She has credited Harmon not only as a talented actor, but also as a leader on set and a supportive colleague. Speaking with BUILD Series, de Pablo described Harmon as \u201ca very, very hard-working, total professional,\u201d adding that his commitment to the role set the tone for the entire cast and crew. She highlighted that Harmon was always attentive and invested in making every scene as authentic as possible, which, according to de Pablo, made everyone raise their standards.<\/p>\n<p>In another interview with USA Today, de Pablo reflected on her close working relationship with Harmon, stating, \u201cHe is more of a friend mentor than a father figure,\u201d and praising his humility, work ethic, and kindness. Leaving the show in 2013 was an emotional decision for de Pablo, and she acknowledged that Harmon offered unwavering support during that period, underscoring the genuine bond they share.<\/p>\n<p>Even after her return to NCIS for special appearances, de Pablo has reiterated her appreciation for Harmon\u2019s guidance and friendship. Both actors have insisted that the positive energy and trust between them contributed significantly to the characters\u2019 dynamic and to the success of the show overall.<\/p>\n<p>Their off-screen rapport, built on mutual admiration and professionalism, continues to resonate with fans who cherish the legacy they\u2019ve built together on NCIS.<\/p>\n<p>STAY TUNED !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCIS fans have long admired the on-screen chemistry between Cote de Pablo, who plays Ziva David, and Mark Harmon, known for his portrayal of Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
