Contains spoilers for \u201cNCIS: Origins\u201d Season 3, Episode 1 \u2013 \u201cDon\u2019t You Forget About Me\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a period of \u201cNCIS: Origins\u201d narration duty, Mark Harmon\u2019s Leroy Jethro Gibbs finally shows up onscreen in \u201cOrigins\u201d Season 3, Episode 1 (titled \u201cDon\u2019t You Forget About Me\u201d), and promptly takes a bullet. Of course, he survives, thanks to a handy old trick that effectively enables him to convincingly play dead. He\u2019s Leroy Jethro Gibbs, after all.<\/p>\n

Besides, the long-standing Major Case Response Team leader has had plenty of experience taking bullets. By a quick (and possibly non-comprehensive) count, Gibbs has been shot one way or another at least six times before the \u201cOrigins\u201d Season 3 premiere brings the count to seven.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most famous one happened in \u201cNCIS\u201d Season 1, Episode 16, \u201cB\u00eate Noire\u201d \u2013 one of Harmon\u2019s best action-packed \u201cNCIS\u201d episodes<\/a>. Here, a charismatic mystery man who\u2019s ultimately revealed to be Ziva David\u2019s (Cote de Pablo) half-brother Ari Haswari (Rudolf Martin)<\/a> infiltrates the NCIS morgue. This daring mission culminates in a face-off between Ari and Gibbs, and the latter takes a bullet in the shoulder. In Season 1, Episode 21 (\u201cSplit Decision\u201d), he\u2019s shot again. This time, however, the dramatic incident turns out to be a fake situation where ATF Agent Roger Cooke (Scott McDonald) poses as a militia leader who \u201cshoots\u201d Gibbs.<\/p>\n

While \u201cNCIS\u201d Season 1 features its share of shooting storylines involving Gibbs as the intended recipient, later seasons recycle the theme enough for it to count as a recurring event. In Season 6, Episode 9 (\u201cDagger\u201d), his finger is injured during a shootout \u2014 though if we\u2019re being technical, said injury is caused by shrapnel from shattered glass instead of a bullet. Meanwhile, Season 9, Episode 14 (\u201cLife Before His Eyes\u201d) focuses on the titular near-death experience, which Gibbs has when he faces an unexpected shooter at a diner. He\u2019s ultimately shot in the shoulder once again.<\/p>\n

While the Season 1 confrontation between Ari and Gibbs might be iconic, the most serious gunshot wounds the \u201cNCIS\u201d man received happen in the Season 12 finale, \u201cNeverland.\u201d Here, the season ends with a major cliffhanger when Luke Harris (Daniel Zolghadri) shoots Gibbs in the leg and chest. The Season 13 premiere (\u201cStop the Bleeding\u201d) confirms that he survived, but as nail-biters go, it was a pretty effective way to end a season. Even young \u201cNCIS: Origins\u201d Gibbs (Austin Stowell) has had his share: In the \u201cOrigins\u201d Season 2 finale, \u201cHollywood Ending,\u201d he takes a bullet to the body armor.<\/p>\n

Of course, Gibbs has been hurt in other ways, too. Notably, an explosion injury in the \u201cNCIS\u201d Season 3 two-part finale \u201cHiatus\u201d leads to coma flashbacks and a temporary belief that the year is 1991. If anything, \u201cNCIS: Origins\u201d Season 3 seems intent on showing that even in his advanced age, Gibbs can shake off just about anything his enemies throw at him and make a dramatic return<\/a>.<\/p>\n
