Kate Todd’s Original Gibbs Team Predecessor Actor Returns To NCIS After 22 Years

In the beginning, NCIS intentionally highlighted its connection to JAG through guest appearances, reminding viewers of their shared universe. As JAG neared the end of its ten-season run, these crossovers happened less often, and people started to forget just how much JAG influenced NCIS. JAG essentially paved the way for NCIS, even introducing some of the characters who would become key members of Gibbs’ team. Interestingly, the NCIS concept itself started as a two-part episode on JAG, and not all of those initial characters made the transition to the new series.
