Mark Harmon has a brand new character! The 73-year-old may be known for playing Leroy Jethro Gibbs NCISbut a rare family update reveals that he is now a grandfather. His daughter woman Courtney Prather is happy to share the news with fans as she and Mark's son Sean Harmon welcome their baby boy. The new mother wrote: “Have you 1 month. Cooper Knox Harmon ~5.22.25.”
Fans are crazy about cute images of newborns sleeping and being hugged by their parents. Sean fell asleep in the ward bed in a snapshot, and Cooper rested quietly in the crib next to him. They were overwhelmed by the news of congratulations, and Mark's fans also said they couldn't wait to see pictures of Cooper and his famous grandpa.
Mark is based in Los Angeles and although he works as executive producer of the NCIS franchise, he and his wife Pam Dawber married him in 1987, but mostly in private life. They are the parents of adult sons, Sean and Ty. The eldest son even appeared on the show, playing a younger version of his father's character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
When asked about their extremely private lives, Mark told TV insiders: “It's not even an option. It's who we are. We stay at home. A lot. I'm not a guy on Twitter or a Facebook guy. Our son doesn't like that either.” The eldest son Sean even appeared on the show, playing the role of a young father in the flashback plot.

Proud Dad
“I’m proud of him taking his work seriously and how he became an actor – not only on this show, [but] Mark explained. He responded to the sentiment when asked about Sean's cameo. “Separate from anything as an actor, you want to be someone who is as unique as people leave any camera, like citizens, and he said, our boys are doing well. Day after day, we have a lot of reasons to be proud of both of them.”

Like a father, like a son
Sean also talked about the opportunity: “Gibbs has been in his character for 20 years, and it’s an important part of my life, watching my father play the role and the honor of playing the young Gibbs myself.” “I always feel like there’s a story worth telling his early years, so I’m glad to play a production role
