The Talented Cast Of “NCIS”: Check Out How They’ve Transformed Over The Years!

“NCIS” is a famous TV show that originally aired in the 2000s. It served as a spin-off of another series called “JAG,” but it looks like it surpassed its success. We saw a wide range of talented actors give life to numerous characters, and we bet many of you are curious if they look pretty different in more recent times.

Many of the actors from the show aged gracefully with the help of a healthy lifestyle, good skin products, or they had excellent genes. Let’s check out the transformations the “NCIS” cats had, and let’s see who remained consistent in their acting careers.

Mark Harmon

Mark Harmon first played Leroy Jethro Gibbs on “Jag,” but they later got him to star in “NCIS.” He was among the original cast members, and he hasn’t left the series as of 2021. He was always naturally handsome, and it looks like he gets more attractive as he ages.

He’s one of the men that can proudly say that they make white and gray hair look good. Harmon also had a memorable film career, starring in “Chasing Liberty” and “Freaky Friday.” Since 1987, he has been married to Pam Dawber, and they have raised two lovely children together.

Sarah Jane Morris

Sarah Jane Morris rose to fame as a TV star during the 2000s thanks to her role in “Brothers & Sisters.” She graduated from Texas’ Southern Methodist University, later moving to Los Angeles for her acting career. From 2011 until 2012, she played a recurring character named EJ Barrett on “NCIS.”

You’ll notice that she barely aged over the years, but she undoubtedly improved her sense of style and beauty routine. Morris is also busy when she’s not working because she has two kids with her husband, Ned Brower. She starred in a movie titled Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer” in 2018.

Jaime Murray

Jaume Murray was destined to become an actress since her father, Billy Murray, was also from the same industry. She initially went to the London School of Economics to pursue her education in psychology and philosophy, but she decided to drop out to focus solely on acting.

She appeared in many series over the years, one of which was “NCIS.” She looks gorgeous in the show, and it seems like she still turns heads as the years pass. Murray’s most memorable performances were in “Dexter,” “Ringer,” and “Warehouse 13.” In 2018, she got the opportunity to do voice work for “Castlevania.”

Kiara Muhammad

Kiara Muhammad did modeling gigs when she was a young girl, and it looks like being in front of the camera sparked a fire in her soul. She later pursued acting and ultimately landed a part on “NCIS.” She looks unrecognizable from how she looked in the series because she’s already an adult.

It seems like she learned how to express herself more, and she wants people to see her natural hairstyle. Muhammad still wants to do more in her career, so you can expect to see more of her. In 2021, she appeared on an episode of a show called “Dave.”

Joel Gretsch

Joel Gretsch dreamed of becoming a professional actor, so he attended acting classes at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. His career eventually took off in the late ’80s when he moved to Los Angeles. He made a guest appearance on “NCIS” as Special Agent Stan Burley.

He aged gracefully over the years, and it looks like the leading cause was his healthy and active lifestyle. You could see that he’s still fit for someone who’s supposedly “old.” It will surely take a while before Gretsch retires since casting directors still love him. In 2021, he appeared in a short film titled “Chupacabra.”

David McCallum

Actor David McCallum became a household name during the ’60s thanks to his role in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E..” He got cast as Dr. Donald Mallard on”NCIS,” and he hasn’t left the show as of 2021. It seems like time doesn’t affect him because he barely aged ever since he first appeared in the series.

It looks like he took great care of his health, and his efforts allowed him to continue working for as long as he could. McCallum was previously married to Jill Ireland, but his current wife is Katherine Carpenter. The lovely couple has two children together.

Joe Spano

The character on “NCIS” named Tobias C. Fornelly got played by actor Joe Spano. He was pretty well-known when he first appeared in the series because he previously gave a memorable performance in “Hill Street Blues.” Over the decades, he decided to keep the same hairstyle.

The only thing that makes him look different in more recent times is his beard. Spano has been married to a therapist named Joan since 1980, and they have two adopted kids. Aside from staying on “NCIS” after all these years, he also appeared on “The Hollywood Moment” in 2021.

Scottie Thompson

Scottie Thompson is a Harvard University graduate who made a name for herself in the acting scene. She made a recurring appearance on “NCIS” as Jeanne Benoit. As she got older, she maintained a youthful glow with the help of proper eating habits and proper skin maintenance.

We bet her fresh skin allows her to play characters that are way younger than she is. Thompson never left people’s TV screens because she also landed parts in other series like “MacGyver” and “9-1-1.” In 2019, she appeared in a film titled “Crown Vic.”

Tamara Taylor

Tamara Taylor has the type of beauty that doesn’t need any enhancements whatsoever. Her skin is flawless, her teeth are sparkly white, and her figure is to-die-for. Not much changed since we saw her play Special Agent Cassie Yates on “NCIS,” and it looks like she mastered the art of aging slowly.

Taylor embarked on an acting career in the ’90s, and her breakthrough performance was in the show titled “Bones.” You might also recognize her for appearing in “October Faction” and “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Her career continues to improve, for she joined the cast of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” in 2021.

She spent two seasons as a regular cast member, and then she later had three more seasons wherein she only made guest appearances.

Time has been relatively kind to her, and it looks like whatever anti-aging cream she’s using is working. She still looks beautiful at her age, and we bet she will continue to land new roles. In 2020, she lent her voice for “Deathstroke Knights & Dragons: The Movie.”

Lauren Holly

Most of you would remember Lauren Holly as the red-head on “NCIS” that rocked a pixie cut. She went through a serious makeover over the years, and it looks like she prefers a longer hairdo in a lighter shade. The character she portrayed on “NICS” was Director Jenny Shepard, and she stayed for about two seasons.

Despite her exit from the series, she still maintained a busy acting schedule. Holly appeared in other series like “Designated Survivor” and “Motive.” Younger fans might think she looks familiar because she started starring in a new Netflix show in 2020 titled “Tiny Pretty Things.”

Alicia Coppola

Alicia Coppola first rose to fame for appearing in “Another World.” She later played a guest character named Lt. Cmdr. Faith Coleman on “NCIS.” She always had a respectable and commanding vibe to her, so she rocked all the clothes she had to wear on the series.

She doesn’t always sport a lot of glam in real life, and it looks like she’s comfortable showing people her natural glow. In the film industry, Coppola starred in “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” and “We Are Your Friends.” She’s still in demand, and she starred in a new show in 2021 titled “Generation.”

Daniela Sofia Korn Ruah

With a bone structure to die for, Daniela Ruah doesn’t need to put much makeup on to get compliments. Her acting career started in the late 2000s when she moved to New York. Her performance as Special Agent Kensi Blye on “NCIS: Los Angeles” served as her big break.

If acting didn’t work out for her, she couldn’t get into modeling since she’s a natural head-turner. She has been married to David Olsen since 2014, and they have two kids together. In 2020, Ruah joined the main cast of a new Portuguese miniseries called “A Espia.”

Jamie Lee Curtis is the original scream queen in Hollywood. She became a legendary actress after giving outstanding performances in horror films like “Halloween,” “Terror Train,” and “The Fog.” Some of you might’ve forgotten, but she had a guest role on “NCIS” as Dr. Samantha Ryan.

She was only part of five episodes, but we’re sure the show’s fans found her appearance memorable. Curtis has been rocking a pixie cut for many years now, and it looks like she doesn’t care if her hair is white/gray already. Curtis doesn’t only do on-screen work, for she also does other gigs like her voice role in “Archer.”

Jennifer Esposito

Actress Jennifer Esposito has always looked way younger than she is, and we bet it’s because she’s of Italian descent. Her facial features are incredible, and we bet she could’ve been a busy model in another life. On “NCIS,” she starred as Special Agent Alexandra Quinn.

How the character looked in the series seems pretty similar to how she presents herself in real life. Esposito is also well-known for her performances in “The Boys,” “Don’t Say a Word,” and “Summer of Sam.” From 2020 until 2021, she appeared on the show called “Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens.”

You might remember his time on “NCIS,” wherein he portrayed Dr. Jimmy Palmer. He looked geeky on the show with his glasses, but he’s the complete opposite in real life.

Linda Hunt

Linda Hunt played the role of Hetty Lange in the spin-off series, “NCIS: Los Angeles.” Her performance in the series made her a two-time Teen Choice Award winner. Since she kept the same hairstyle all these years, she looks like she barely changed.

She’s married to Karen Kline, a psychotherapist who she originally began dating in 1978.

Some of her most outstanding performances were in “Obława” and “M jak miłość.” She later branched out into the international market and made a guest appearance on”NCIS.” We’re sure many people tuned into her episode because she was both gorgeous and talented.

Juliette Angelo

Juliette Angelo was only eight years old when many people got impressed with her acting skills. It was because of her performance in the Broadway production of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” She continued making money from acting as she got older, and she even appeared on “NCIS.”
