Sasha Alexander, renowned for her portrayal of Agent Kate Todd in NCIS, has maintained a busy schedule with various projects in both television and film since her departure from the show.
Kate Todd played a pivotal role in the NCIS team until her abrupt exit in the second season, marked by a shocking incident where she was shot in the head by the double-agent Ari Haswari. Subsequently, Ari’s half-sister Ziva David fatally shot him.
Post-NCIS, Sasha Alexander delved into a range of shows and films, including notable works such as “Lucky 13,” “Yes Man,” “Friends,” “The Ride,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “Mission: Impossible III,” and “FBI.”
A standout role for Alexander was her portrayal of Maura Isles in the series “Rizzoli & Isles,” a character she embodied for six years. Additionally, she took on the character Helene Runyon in the SAG Award-winning series “Shameless.”
In more recent endeavors, Sasha lent her voice to the character Adeline in the animated film “Deathstroke Knights and Dragons,” starred in “Dangerous Lies,” and made a guest appearance in an episode of “Law and Order.”
Beyond her professional life, Sasha Alexander is happily married to Edoardo Ponti, whom she met at USC’s film school, and the couple exchanged vows in 2007. Notably, she is the daughter-in-law of the legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren, Edoardo’s mother from her marriage to Carlo Ponti.
