Mark Harmon is married to fellow actress Pam Dawber, his wife of 36 years. They tied the knot in March 1987.
The couple welcomed their first son, Sean Harmon (age 35), in April 1988, followed by their second son, Ty Harmon (age 30), in June 1992.Pam has also starred on NCIS; she played Marcie Warren, an investigative journalist, for seven episodes back in 2021. In an interview with TV Insider in April 2021, Dawber revealed after many attempts, she finally agreed to come on her husband's show. "I've been asked to do NCIS before over the years. It just wasn't the right character or the right time. With Marcie, it was so funny because when they were casting, Mark goes, 'Who you're really looking for is my wife.
' They said, 'But she's always turned us down!" I read the script and I'm going, 'Oh no.' My fear rockets flew off."His wife, Pam, who also starred in sitcoms like Mork & Mindy and My Sister Sam, opened up about why she put her career aside to raise her and Mark's kids. "I had children and it was like, 'I'm not going to chase this fame thing,'" Pam told Closer Weekly in May 2018. "I wanted to drive my kids to school. I wanted to be there for their birthdays and bring cupcakes and doughnuts. And I was very happy to do it."
When her son, Sean Harmon, stepped in as a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs in NCIS Season 13, Harmon told Entertainment Tonight that Pam was very proud. "More than anything, she's a mom, and there's a pride there involved in that."
