Origins Star Unveils BTS Script Photo, First Episode’s Title

Summary

  • Mariel Molino unveils an image of her
    NCIS: Origins
    script, which also reveals that the first episode will be titled “Enter Sandman.”
  • Molino portrays a brand-new character to the
    NCIS
    franchise known as Special Agent Lala Dominguez.
  • Molino will work closely with co-star Austin Stowell, who bears the awesome responsibility of bringing the younger version of Leroy Jethro Gibbs to life on the small screen.

It’s not likely that Special Agent Lala Dominguez will pull a DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) anytime soon and call Leroy Jethro Gibbs “Boss” on the NCIS prequel series. But it’s hard to tell with all the secrecy surrounding the drama. However, the actress who portrays Lala on the upcoming NCIS: Origins, is teasing audiences with a behind-the-scenes look at her script, which does reveal the title of the very first episode: “Enter Sandman” (via Instagram). Molino’s character, who has never appeared in the NCIS franchise, is described as follows (per Deadline):

“Molino will play Special Agent Lala Dominguez,
a former
Marine who navigates her 1990s male-dominated field with a steely resolve and a dark sense of humor.
When a tormented
Leroy Jethro Gibbs
joins her team,
the ensuing story between these two enigmatic outsiders is filled with sparks and turns that will keep the audience guessing.”

NCIS

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. Special Agent Alden Parker, a quirky former FBI agent who solves his cases with calm professionalism and sharp, sarcastic charm, leads the NCIS team.

While Molino plays an essential role in NCIS: Origins, which is set in 1991, the prequel centers around one of the franchise’s most beloved characters: Leroy Jethro Gibbs. But this younger version of Gibbs, who pairs up with Lala, won’t be reprised by Sean Harmon. No, the mantle falls to a brand-new actor. Check out a screenshot of Molion’s Instagram story below to check out the script cover for “Enter Sandman.”

‘I Always Felt There Was a Tale Worth Telling About His Earlier Years’

Leroy Jethro Gibbs is unquestionably the most beloved of all the NCIS characters. However, since NCIS: Origins is a prequel, Mark Harmon will simply narrate the series. The younger, on-screen version of Gibbs will be portrayed by Austin Stowell. Molino joins co-star Stowell, as the two embark on a whole new adventure in the NCIS world together.

The older version of the character was made popular for almost two decades by the original actor to portray Gibbs, Mark Harmon. Meanwhile, his son, Sean Harmon, had the responsibility of playing young Gibbs in flashbacks over the years. Sean, who serves as an executive producer on Origins, reflected on Gibbs as follows (per press release):

“The character of Gibbs has been an important part of my life for 20 years,
both in watching my father craft the role and previously having the honor to play young Gibbs myself.
I always felt there was a tale worth telling about his earlier years,
so I am thrilled to be stepping into a producing role.”

Back in March, Paramount announced that Stowell would step into Gibbs’ immense shoes for the prequel series, which is being produced by CBS Studios. In addition to narrating the show, Harmon and his son Sean serve as EPs on the television project. David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal serve as Origins’ showrunners, and they both co-wrote the premiere episode, “Enter Sandman.”
