NCIS: GARY COLE WANTS FANS TO KNOW ONE THING – ‘I’M NOT TRYING TO BE’ GIBBS.

Gary Cole, stepping into the shoes of Alden Parker on NCIS, wants fans to truly understand that he’s not merely attempting to replicate Gibbs’ iconic character. With Parker’s introduction in season 19, there’s a deliberate departure from Gibbs’ stoic leadership style. Instead, Parker brings a fresh dynamic to the team, characterized by his vocal nature and adeptness with technology.

Cole approaches this pivotal role with a deep respect for the show’s rich history, recognizing the weight of expectation that comes with joining such an iconic series. By infusing his own interpretation into the character, Cole aims to honor the legacy of NCIS while also making his mark on the beloved franchise.
