Here is everything you need to know about the latest interview with the seasoned actor.
Gary Cole gives hilarious answer to what NCIS spin-off he is secretly hoping for
Gary Cole wants a spin-off named NCIS: Tortola, Virgin Islands to happen in the future.
On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the 69-year-old was asked a unique question by the host. Colbert asked, “You are now the star of NCIS. A lot of franchises on the NCIS world that people love. There’s origins, Hawaii, Sydney, Los Angeles, New Orleans.” The host further asks the veteran, “Is there a spinoff you’re secretly hoping for? Like, NCIS, like Amalfi Coast or something like that?”
As such, Cole says, “Yeah,” with the audience being left in splits as they look forward to his answer. Soon, he hilariously answers, “Yeah, I’m thinking NCIS: Tortola, Virgin Islands. You know, anything tropical with a high crime rate.” Colbert agrees with his guest and says, “Right, and it’s naval crime, naval crime investigative,” with the latter echoing his statement. Cole adds, “Yeah, it’s naval crime, right. An island makes sense. Naval Criminal Investigative Service.”
“I do know that now. For the first three years, I didn’t,” he continued. Cole’s answers ultimately spark joy among the audience. Later, Colbert says, “There’s a lot more naval crime out there than I thought there would be,” and the NCIS actor agrees with him. “Further, the host asks about the upcoming crossover between NCIS and NCIS: Origins.” Cole says, “NCIS: Origins obviously precedes NCIS. This is a young Mark Harmon, right?”
He explains, “So their story is about a cold case that finally something is revealed, a piece of evidence at the end of their show. And then it kind of bleeds into our show, and we pick up the pieces later. “
NCIS and NCIS: Origins crossover will air on November 11, 2025, on CBS.
