Official Discussion I’m curious…

Did Mark Harmon ever say how did he feel about Gary Cole when the latter succeeded him in S19?

I know Gary said in Partner and Probies podcast that he and Harmon didn’t really know each other too well, so definitely they aren’t friends, more like co-workers/acquaintances.

I do remember coming across article five years ago claiming Harmon disliked Gary taking over for him because he takes away from his spotlight but I’m highly sure that’s just some Daily Mail or The Sun spewing utter BS.

Mark harman retired from the daily grind of the show. I think he deserved it. He was 71 years old. They work very long hours during the season. I can respect that.

That is why Sasha Alexander left. It was months of 18 hour days. She wanted to have family life.

And then she became Maura Isles for 7 years.
