Since departing from her role as Agent Kate Todd in NCIS, Sasha Alexander has kept busy with various projects in both television and film.
Kate Todd’s departure from the NCIS team was a pivotal moment in the series, marked by her character’s shocking exit in the second season when she was tragically shot by double-agent Ari Haswari, who was then fatally shot by Ari’s half-sister, Ziva David.
Post-NCIS, Sasha Alexander has appeared in a diverse range of shows and films, including “Lucky 13,” “Yes Man,” “Friends,” “The Ride,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “Mission: Impossible III,” and “FBI.”
Among her notable roles is her portrayal of Maura Isles in the long-running series “Rizzoli & Isles,” which she starred in for six years. She also took on the role of Helene Runyon in the SAG Award-winning series “Shameless.”
Recently, 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.”
In her personal life, Sasha 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 legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren, who is Edoardo’s mother, from her marriage to Carlo Ponti.
Sasha and Edoardo are proud parents to two children, a daughter named Lucia Sofia Ponti and a son named Leonardo Fortunato Ponti.
In May, the former NCIS star marked her 50th birthday with a celebration in Paris surrounded by loved ones.
