But now RadarOnline has uncovered the secret behind the "NCIS" star's health crisis. Mark fears the kind of sudden heart attack that killed his father, but an insider revealed: “He isn’t sick.

“Because of his tough rehabilitation, he has lost weight,” the source claimed. “But he’s doing great.” The news is a relief to the millions of viewers who tune in to "NCIS" every week, after a shocking photo of the actor went public earlier this year. “Mark seemed surprisingly frail,” said an eyewitness, with a weight-loss expert estimating that Mark had lost at least 20 pounds. But the surgery could still mean big changes on Mark's hit show!

On-set spies gave The ENQUIRER an exclusive look into how "NCIS" producers had set up a plot twist that could get Mark's character of Jethro Gibbs off the streets and behind a desk! The agents of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service are set to see their boss Leon Vance (played by Rocky Carroll) running for political office, after Gibbs was already told that a position in the "big chair" was in his future. It's a change that could let Mark step back from the action while staying in the spotlight!
