‘NCIS: Origins’: Kyle Schmid On Franks’ Checkered Past & Why He Looked Like “Sexy Jesus”
NCIS: Origins star Kyle Schmid talks about Mike Franks' Checkered Past & Why He Looked Like "Sexy Jesus" in the Feb. 10 episode.
The CBS drama has already served up a couple of Franks-centric episodes in the procedural’s first season, but Monday’s installment gave viewers more insight into the start of his relationship with wife Tish [Tonantzin Carmelo] and just how messed up he was before he ultimately joined NIS. Here, Kyle Schmid — who plays Gibbs’ irascible mentor Mike Franks — explains why it was important for fans to get a look-see into his character’s past and why he earned the moniker of “sexy Jesus” after doing the episode. So in this episode we get to see a side of Mike that has been shit on, who has been tossed to the curb, who has been broken, who is a little more innocent and liberal than this kind of eccentric cop type that we stereotype in a show.
