Sasha Alexander, best known for her role as Agent Kate Todd in NCIS, has been actively engaged in various projects since her departure from the show.
Kate Todd played a crucial role in the NCIS team until her abrupt exit in the second season when she was shot in the head by double-agent Ari Haswari. The character’s storyline took a shocking turn, with Ari’s half-sister Ziva David ultimately fatally shooting him.
Post-NCIS, Sasha Alexander ventured into several shows and films, including notable works like “Lucky 13,” “Yes Man,” “Friends,” “The Ride,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “Mission: Impossible III,” and “FBI.”
One of her significant roles was portraying Maura Isles in the series “Rizzoli & Isles,” a role she embodied for six years. Sasha also showcased her talent as Helene Runyon in the SAG Award-winning series “Shameless.”
In recent times, 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.”
On a personal note, Sasha Alexander is married to Edoardo Ponti, whom she met at USC’s film school, and they exchanged vows in 2007. Notably, she is the daughter-in-law of the legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren, who is Edoardo’s mother, from her marriage to Carlo Ponti.
Sasha and Edoardo are parents to two children, a daughter named Lucia Sofia Ponti and a son named Leonardo Fortunato Ponti.
In May, the former NCIS star celebrated her 50th birthday surrounded by loved ones in Paris.
