Kyle Schmid Teases a Darker Side of Mike Franks in NCIS: Origins Episode “Last Rites”
NCIS: Origins is diving deep into the backstory of NIS Special Agent Mike Franks, giving fans a fresh look at what drives this complex character. Actor Kyle Schmid, who portrays Franks, shared with Us Weekly that this week’s episode will reveal a more torn and vulnerable side of the agent.
“We get to see this torn-apart version of Mike Franks,” Schmid, 40, said of the November 4 episode titled “Last Rites.” In this gripping installment, Franks is haunted by a broken promise to a woman: he vowed to bring her sister’s killer to justice but fell short.
In a dramatic turn, Franks encounters his old nemesis, now on death row, during the convict’s final hours. The killer, known as Hope, claims he’ll reveal the burial location of his victim, yet Franks remains doubtful. As he searches for retribution and a shot at redemption, viewers will see Franks confront his deepest regrets and an enemy he failed to defeat.
Catch “Last Rites” on NCIS: Origins, airing Monday, November 4, on CBS, for a deeper exploration of Mike Franks and the dark past that continues to shape him.
