Fans were distressed at the death of Sasha Alexander's NCIS character but calmed down when they realized that the actress had wanted to leave the show. We can look forward to the introduction of a new female partner for Special Agent Leroy Jethro when NCIS returns next season.

Can't Sasha chose her own life path and not be childishly attacked for it?? ...Continue »
Sasha Alexander is an amazing person and I completely disagree with what the last review says. I had the privilege of meeting Sasha in June 2005. When I first met her I hadn't seen any of her work so I was not looking at her in a star quality way. She was a wonderful person to chat to and she certainly wasn't "boo hoo"-ing over how much work she had. She simply fancied a change in direction and saw that what she was doing was effecting her quality family time. Now tell me that if you had the opportunity to try a new exciting opportunity in you life and/or be able to take a break to spend with your family...wouldn't you do that?? I know I would. She was a wonderful genuine person, not a quality that's in abundance anymore. Since meeting her I have religiously watched her work, particularly on NCIS, and find that her acting abilities are a joy to see. I think if we all sat here and childishly attacked people who have the great opportunities that someone like Sasha has we would all never leave our computers. I think Sasha is lucky to have the chances and opportunities that she has, she has earned them in her own way. And I think she has a right to lead her life as she chooses without being attacked for it...wouldn't that be nice!?!

Boo Hoo too much work. Boo Hoo too boring to do the same thing... ...Continue »
I really don't understand what people think is so great about Sasha Alexander. She has turned out to be just another spoiled brat star. She complained about how much work NCIS was and about how boring it was to play the same character all of the time. What about the real NCIS agents. The people who only get to play one character in their entire life... THEMSELVES! I am sure they get really bored sometimes. However, they do their work to make a living, support their families, and protect the rest of us. It is too bad that she has so much money and so many opportunities that she can just up a quit a paying job.

One thing that I always like to see is, what have they done now. Haven't seen or heard of her lately. Must not be that big of a star.

Miss her very much! ...Continue »
First, I miss Sasha on NCIS.
Aka her character Agent Kate Todd.
She was sexy, attractive, witty, charming, smart, and no-nonsense.
Very, very, sympathetic as well as tough as nails.
IMO, she was one of the guys, not just a supporting player.
I wish that she was back on the show.
But I understand if she wants to pursue other interests!
Wish her best of luck in her future endeavors!

With a history of viewer challenged shows, that eventuated in cancellation, Sasha has broken the mould of other actresses and shone through with her performance on the CBS drama NCIS.

She shone in her role as Special Agent Kate Todd, filling the part brilliantly, making her one of the most believable actors on series television actors.

However, the lack of promotion of NCIS, stunted her growth in the industry, but know that her demise from the show has become so well publiscised and her upcoming role in the big budget action flick, Mission Impossible:3, I am sure her star will rise.
