Katrina Law, renowned for her portrayal of Jessica Knight on NCIS, recently revealed a bold transformation, debuting vibrant hot pink locks on her Instagram. Donning a ‘SAG-AFTRA’ shirt in solidarity with the ongoing actors’ strike, Katrina embraced her striking new look with the declaration, “Mid-strike hair, don’t care!”
With the filming of NCIS Season 21 currently on pause due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Katrina’s fans, including co-star Brian Dietzen (Dr. Jimmy Palmer), lauded her change, with Dietzen expressing his enthusiasm with a resounding, “Hell yeah!” Fans chimed in with positive remarks, describing the transformation as “stunning” and “amazing.” Alex Tarrant from the NCIS: Hawai’i spin-off also playfully inquired if it was “end of strike hair?” accompanied by crossed fingers emojis.
Katrina’s bold move coincided with the hiatus in the filming of NCIS Season 21, as negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers persisted. While the show’s writing team resumed work in October, the actors are yet to return to the set. Positive discussions over the weekend have provided hope for a resolution to the strike.
Although the release date for NCIS Season 21 on CBS remains undisclosed, the conclusion of the WGA strike and the return of writers could potentially bring scripted dramas back to screens by mid-March. However, the exact timeline depends on the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike. The cast of NCIS, including Katrina, actively supports the strike, participating in picket lines and advocating for fair deals and shared benefits in the industry.
