Launched back in 2003, CBS long-standing police procedural giant NCIS never really followed most of the popular shows’ suit by casting big Hollywood stars, but rather picked some actors relatively unknown at the time and then brought them all to international fame.
However, the future franchise once almost stepped away from its path when the crew seriously considered offering a major role to an actress who by 2003 already blew everyone away with her part in another big series of the 2000s.
Talking about NCIS creation history a while ago, the show’s team briefly addressed that big rumor about Jennifer Aniston’s interest in landing one of the big roles. Still filming Friends at that time, Aniston was nonetheless considered for Caitlin Todd’s role, which eventually went to Sasha Alexander.
According to NCIS executive producer Charles Floyd Johnson, “Jennifer Aniston was available at the time, and her name was floated.

NCIS is coming back to the screens later this year with its season 22, and there might be more surprises than everyone is expecting right now. The last season’s finale left two major cliffhangers for the next installment, and fans are probably counting days until they finally get to see what happens to Jessica Knight after she accepts that big offer and whether Alden Parker’s vision will force the show to dive deeper into the character’s backstory.
However, NCIS’ next season might also highlight the return of an original character that was gone too soon by season 3, yet there are still some ways for them to make their way back to the show.
Started in 2003, NCIS featured Sasha Alexander’s Caitlin ‘Kate’ Todd as one of the Special Agents right until the season 2 finale, where she was shot dead by sniper and Mossad double-agent Ari Haswari, with Ziva...

Over the years, NCIS has seen a lot of comings and goings, with some being respected and even celebrated by viewers, and others taking time to settle in. Even the most beloved characters today have struggled to shine through the judgment of fans back in the day, and Ziva David was one of them.
Right now, however, Cote de Pablo, who portrays Ziva, and Michael Weatherly, who portrays Tony Dinozzo, make up one of the most popular dynamics on NCIS. And learning that there was a good chance it would never happen makes fans even happier that it did.
When Did Ziva First Appear on NCIS?
Ziva David joined NCIS at the very beginning of season 3, right after her half-brother brutally murdered another agent, Caitlin Todd, portrayed by Sasha Alexander. Alexander's departure was a huge disappointment to the fanbase, so it was only natural that viewers did not warm up...

While there are many ways to write certain characters off the show when the actors are done playing them, there is always the most shocking and heartbreaking option of killing them off. Throughout its two-decade run, NCIS has seen many beloved characters go, as well as some deaths.
Here are 10 of the character deaths that hit viewers the hardest, no matter how big or small their role was within the show.
Ned Dorneget (Matt Jones)
There's nothing more devastating than a mother having to bury her own child, but even more terrifying is a mother having to take the investigation of her son's death into her own hands. Murdered in an explosion in Cairo after saving dozens of people, Ned was avenged by the team and his mother, CIA officer Joanna Teague.
Michelle Lee (Liza Lapira)
This character was one of the most controversial, not fitting into either the "villain" or "hero" category.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs can be a smooth operator when he wants to be on NCIS.
But if anyone has ever wondered if Gibbs has rizz, a new clip shared online answers that question.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Mark Harmon as Gibbs in the NCIS Universe.
Harmon’s last episode was Gret Wide Open in October 2021. It was during Season 19, and it left many fans saddened.
But there are hopes that Harmon could return to NCIS one day – they just need the right story for it to work.
In the meantime, Harmon will be the executive producer and narrate a new NCIS prequel show that will debut in the fall. Here’s a look at the NCIS: Origins cast.

This year NCIS gave its fans the best gift ever by bringing back Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David and giving them their own spinoff. While fans may be disappointed to learn that the spinoff has found its home outside of cable, on a streaming platform called Paramount Plus, and that means shorter seasons for more money, it's still an exciting prospect.
After so many years in the dark about the relationship between two iconic NCIS characters, and then a solid conclusion in season 17, no one believed that Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly would grace our screens again as the show's most dynamic duo. Even better, you don't have to wait until the show premieres to join the reunion.
NCIS Rewatch Podcast Premiere
In the style of The Office and Glee, NCIS has created an official podcast to promote the upcoming spinoff and give fans a little behind the scenes look.

NCIS’ season 21 has finally arrived in full, proving that there will be some major changes in the upcoming season 22. The show’s latest episodes showed one of NCIS Special Agents Jessica Knight, portrayed by Katrina Law, accepting an offer to be promoted to React Chief Training Officer at Camp Pendleton, the position that will eventually and inevitably transfer her to the other side of the country.
Knight’s possible departure from the Major Case Response Team may come as a difficult thing to process for many as the character became fan-favorite throughout the three last seasons of the show. However, by leaving the team for good, Jessica seemingly paves the way for NCIS’ 19-year-old trend that proves that the series was ahead of its time all along.
Though it’s not yet confirmed whether Jessica Knight will in fact leave the whole show or will still make her appearance in the future episodes,...

NCIS is not afraid to lose characters, whether by them leaving or even dying. There is not a single main character left from the pilot, and only Sean Murray remains as Timothy McGee from the first season (his first appearance was on the seventh episode of Season 1). Now, another major character might be leaving.
Here is a look at what changes the NCIS season finale might bring to the show.
Could Katrina Law Leave NCIS?
Katrina Law might be leaving NCIS after this season’s finale. The Season 21 finale (“Reef Madness”) has some hints that Knight (Law) might leave the series by taking on a new job. The show has never shied away from characters leaving the show — often in shocking manners.
Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander) was a main character in the first season as she clashed with Jetrho Leroy Gibbs before joining the team and becoming a key member of his squad.

Over the course of its 21-year television run, CBS’ police procedural show NCIS has been constantly reshaping its story by adding and removing characters, something that would make the plot go in a completely different direction.
Such changes mostly did affect the storyline, but only one character from the first ever seasons gave the whole show a radically switched perspective that later on helped introduce another significant cast member.
Kate’s Death Was a True Game Changer for NCIS
Caitlin "Kate" Todd, a special agent portrayed by Sasha Alexander in seasons 1 and 2, had some special impact on her colleagues that the latter ones didn’t really become aware of until Kate was gone.
Shot in the head by a sniper after she and other agents successfully went through a warehouse that presumably served as a terrorist cell’s hide-out, Kate left the show, but still redefined it all and made...

Plot: A gritty, emotional tale about healing familial wounds through re-connection. After a drastic incident in her life, a young woman embarks on an impromptu road trip with her estranged father. En-route to their destination of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the two are forced to confront the issues of their past that have led to their frail relationship, while encountering an eccentric array of characters along the way, in order to bring them closer together again.
Review: Road trips and redemption tales have long been staples of filmmaking, big and small. Stories of connection between estranged family members, struggles with addiction, and stark looks at the landscape of rural America are nothing new, but that does not mean they are not ripe for new stories. Bleeding Love is a film rooted in the familiar tropes of decades worth of movies and yet it still manages to bring something unique to the mix.

NCIS gave fans memorable characters they’ll remember forever — but many of those fan favorites are known for their deaths. The show’s creators recently discussed the characters, actors, and storylines they worked with over the years. And they discussed one “shocking” death that came after the actor complained of long hours on set.
‘NCIS’ creators said actor Sasha Alexander didn’t want to work long, grueling hours
NCIS creators discussed the death of Sasha Alexander’s character, Caitlin Todd. Alexander appeared in the first two seasons of the series, but she was shot in the head in the season 2 finale by Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ archnemesis Ari Haswari.

One of the most stunning moments in NCIS history came early on in the show’s run. In the season 2 finale, Sasha Alexander’s Agent Caitlin Todd was abruptly killed off. The character was shot in the head by a rogue Mossad officer named Ari Haswari (Rudolf Martin).
The shock death of a major character left NCIS fans reeling – and wondering why the show’s writers would kill off Agent Todd. In the past, Alexander has said that her departure was due to the show’s grueling workload. Once the show’s writers knew she wanted to leave, they decided to give her the most dramatic exit possible, insiders explained to The Hollywood Reporter in a recent oral history of the show.

Although NCIS was well-liked from the get-go, not even an elite investigation could have foreseen the show becoming a hit that would span decades and launch a franchise.
It began in spring 2003 as a backdoor pilot for CBS’ sturdy military-law procedural Jag. Co-created by Jag mastermind Donald P. Bellisario (Magnum, P.I., Quantum Leap) and Don McGill (Numbers, CSI), NCIS follows special agents from D.C.’s Naval Criminal Investigative Service, led by Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs. The show’s initial core cast included Michael Weatherly (Tony Dinozzo), Sasha Alexander (Caitlin Todd), Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto) and David McCallum (Ducky Mallard). Twenty years later, the series continues to thrive, as it stands as CBS’ No. 1 broadcast drama for five straight seasons and has launched four spinoffs, with the first international entry, NCIS: Sydney, debuting this fall on the network.

NCIS might not be returning for its 21st season with new episodes this fall, but CBS is going to be putting on quite the celebration for the long-running procedural drama’s 20th anniversary. It was on September 23, 2003 that NCIS first premiered, and 459 episodes later (and now four other series in the franchise), CBS has declared Monday, September 25 “NCIS Day.” (The series moved from Tuesdays to Mondays with Season 19.) NCIS has been a top 20 series for 18 of its 20 seasons and TV’s top broadcast drama for the last five consecutive seasons (as well as 13 of the last 14). Also of note: Combining all the series, the franchise will reach a milestone 1,000th episode during NCIS Season 21. The celebration includes a mini marathon on CBS (and streaming on Paramount+) of the series premiere, which introduced Kate (Sasha Alexander) to Gibbs (Mark Harmon), Tony (Michael Weatherly), and Ducky (David McCallum) and NCIS; Season 2’s “Swak,...

NCIS has graced our television screens for the last 20 years. The show first premiered in 2003, and it followed Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs as he and his team, Naval Criminal Investigative Services, solved high-profile crimes connected to the Navy or Marines. Now, 20 years later, where is the season 1 cast today?

Mark Harmon was the NCIS lead, playing Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Harmon worked his way up the ranks on the show’s back end, eventually becoming its executive producer in 2008, just five years after it started. Harmon left the show, though, during its 19th season in 2021.

Bel Powley stars in the National Geographic series “A Small Light” as Miep Gies, the woman who helped hide Otto Frank and his family during WWII. During a reception for the show Thursday at the San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood, the actor recalled being on set when she first heard about Kanye West’s antisemitic comments in October 2022.
“We were filming the show when all of the Kanye stuff was happening,” Powley told me. “I was obviously living in the world of the show, which has a lot of Nazi rhetoric because we’re making a show about the Nazi occupation in 1942, but then suddenly seeing and hearing that same rhetoric spoken now by a world-famous celebrity with huge influence was so freaky and unsettling and saddening.”

Rizzoli and Isles haven't solved a new case on TV in nearly six years.
While Tess Gerritsen continues to write new novels on the beloved duo, we've been left with a significant gap in our lives as their lives go on without us bearing witness on-screen.
The iconic duo of Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander were TV staples for over 100 episodes, but what are they (and the rest of the cast) doing now?
In Memorium: Lee Thompson Young -- Detective Barry Frost
Lee Thompson Young, who played Detective Frost (one of Jane Rizzoli's closest co-workers), tragically passed away in 2013 before the filming of Season Five.
Detective Frost's death got handled beautifully by the writers, from his death in Rizzoli and Isles Season 5 Episode 1 to Jane seeing a vision of him in Rizzoli and Isles Season 5 Episode 18.
The episodes throughout Season Five left us crying, laughing, and missing Lee Thompson Young's presence on our screens.

The first episode of “NCIS” premiered in 2004 with news footage of George W. Bush boarding Air Force One transforming into a scripted scene of a fictional George W. Bush joshing about barbecue before one of his new bodyguard mysteriously drops dead. Forty-some odd minutes of Mark Harmon being right, Sasha Alexander frowning, and countless 9/11 references later, the bad guy is caught and the gang is free to solve another 18 seasons (and counting) of weekly mysteries. The show was an extreme product of its time, but in the grand tradition of procedurals about cops and military personnel, proved extremely malleable to fit whatever era it finds itself reflecting. In a television world increasingly marked by change and plummeting broadcast ratings, “NCIS” is still one of CBS’ most reliable series. It’s no wonder the network saw fit to produce yet another spinoff of it — though at the very least, “NCIS: Hawai’i...

Ludacris and Shane Graham spar as foster father and son in this inspirational story of real-life BMX star John Buultjens
“Another life lesson?” snaps flailing foster kid John (Shane Graham), as his new family attempt to throw him another emotional lifeline. This inspirational drama-cum-antiracist statement, sponsored by the likes of Vans, Etnies and Powell-Peralta, does indeed come over a bit like the action-sports version of the Disney movie but is luckily given just enough emotional ballast by its performers.
Graham stars as real-life BMX star John Buultjens – whose story has been transposed from Glasgow to Oakdale, California – who is taken into care at the start of the film aged nine for stabbing his abusive father (played by Buultjens himself). Already being drawn into the orbit of Nazi gangs, with a small swastika forcibly carved into his neck, this white supremacist poppet has to fight for his life in juvie, and grows into a tight-lipped,...

“The Ride” begins with a scene of unexpected brutality, engineered by a racist, feral kid. Even so, its “inspired by a true story” promise at the start rings a little tinny. And early on, the BMX-meets-“love wins” drama about a boy whose white supremacist roots and abusive home life land him in juvenile detention has an afterschool-special veneer, albeit somewhat gritty. The over-emotive score, particularly at the outset, punctuates the violence and the sentiment unnecessarily.
But the movie, streaming on Amazon, gains emotional traction when seven years later, John McCord finds himself released to an interracial foster couple. The reason for the film’s emotional resonance owes less to the screenplay — which teases too many easy tropes — than it does to the slow-burn chemistry between Shane Graham, who plays John of the set jaw and racist quips, and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, who portrays the foster father who has seen a lot worse.

With films like The Help, Hidden Figures, and Green Book in the rearview mirror, I foolishly thought that Hollywood had learned its lesson and the patronizing, clichéd white savior narrative would be put to rest for at least another decade or so. In a time when the Black Lives Matter movement has never been more visible in mainstream media and conversations around racism and white supremacy are inspiring cultural reckoning, you would hope someone would think twice before going forward with a film where a Black man "saves" a white supremacist teen. But no, instead, we have The Ride, an upcoming indie film inspired by the real-life story of BMX star John Buultjens.

"Did you think it was going to be easy?" Roadside Attractions has debuted another new official US trailer for an indie drama titled The Ride, from filmmaker Alex Ranarivelo, about the life of a pro BMX rider from Glasgow, Scotland. This originally premiered at the Newport Beach Film Festival in 2018, and we featured a promo trailer back then.
