SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details from the Feb. 10 episode of NCIS: Origins titled “Monsoon.” 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. DEADLINE You rocked the Jesus look at the start of the episode. KYLE SCHMID Oh my sexy Jesus!

Look, you try doing serious work on set. When your crew is teasing you, calling you sexy, Jesus. It was so hard. DEADLINE They seriously called you sexy Jesus? SCHMID Ridiculous.

My crew is very generous, thank God. DEADLINE Where was the motorcycle scene shot? SCHMID That was outside Santa Clarita, Calif.
