The two have grown into adults who have taken after their parents in both looks and choice of career. Ty is a screenwriter with his credits in the 2012 "Catholic Schoolgirl Chainsaw Showdown," a film directed by his older brother Sean.

Besides taking after his father's work ethic, Ty is also just as handsome as he is dad, a fact many people in the comment section noted after a photo of the father-son duo surfaced on Facebook. "Both of you are very handsome," wrote a fan, Rose Broumley.

Ty's older brother Sean is also in showbiz as a producer and an actor, and he recently appeared on an episode of "NCIS." Harmon recalls the first time Sean appeared on an episode of "NCIS," saying he immediately got into his character as a young Gibb, making his father incredibly proud.

"I'm proud of both our boys, and they work hard at what they do, and I'm proud that they get up in the morning and try to do that every day."

Although he keeps a low profile outside of the set, Sean has appeared on 'CSI: NY' and 'NCIS' with his father. Besides acting, he has been a stuntman in 'American Reunion', 'Dumb and Dumber To', 'Alone' and many more.

Fans also agree that Sean, like Ty, is just as handsome as their father. After the NCIS Facebook page posted a side-by-side photo of Harmon and Sean, fans couldn't help but notice the similarities between father and son.

Linda Hubert pointed out that Sean did have his father's eyes but looked more like his mother. Billiejo Atkinson thought it did not matter who he took after; what remained true was that he looked good. Pamela Cheape wrote:

"Didn't realize this is [Mark's] son.

“He looks just like his parents,” said another, while Jennifer Bernard hoped to see him on TV more often, adding that she loved his role on the show:

"You are a handsome young man & I love seeing your work with your dad on 'NCIS.' Hope to see you more often."

Sean is grateful for the lessons his father has taught him, and for Father's Day 2016, he wrote his dad a special message referring to Harmon as the man who has helped him become a strong and confident man.

The Harmon Family Is Growing — Sean's Engagement

The Harmon family generally keeps their personal life private, but this event – an engagement – is something that happens very rarely, so they decided to engage their fans.

It was wonderful to see Sean and his longtime girlfriend Courtney Prather get engaged in July 2021. And the best part? Harmon was able to play a major role in making the happy moment a success.

Prather noted that Harmon's horse, Half n' Half, was a major part of the engagement. The two posted cute photos of the occasion on their respective Instagram pages, with Prather showing off her beautiful ring as they stood in a field surrounded by horses.

Sean honored his fiance by saying that there was nothing they couldn't do together and nothing he wouldn't want to do without her by his side.

"I promise we have barely begun, and to the ends of the earth and beyond, we will go. Welcome to the family, my love. There is nowhere else you belong more."
