![]() ![]() TVLINE | Well, let’s talk about the character that you played for some 280 episodes. It’s sort of the last of its kind, and I love that I got to be a part of that and have that consistency, to have one character for so long, to have one family for so long. ![]() Now, 12 seasons later, 280 episodes later, I’m on this primetime network television show the likes of which doesn’t really exist anymore. So when I auditioned for this part, I was like, “NCI-what? Who? How many letters are there?” I was a guest star for the first 12 episodes, and then they sort of saw something in me and liked me and I became a series regular on Episode 13. ![]() I was an actor in New York for 10 years before NCIS: LA, going from Broadway to off-Broadway to regional to Broadway to off-Broadway to regional, and I always thought that would be my life.

Television also is back, but it’s so different from when we started 12 years ago. First of all, theater is back, which is very exciting. It kept things fresh, and I’m excited for new, wonderful things coming my way.
