‘NCIS: LA’ Star Daniela Ruah Returns To Direct Two Episodes In ‘NCIS’ Universe
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: NCIS: LA may be over but star Daniela Ruah is keeping a toe in the NCIS universe. The actress who played Kensi Blye on the spinoff that wrapped its 14-season run last May is directing two episodes in the NCIS universe.
She’s helming an episode of NCIS this month that’ll air in March, followed by an episode of NCIS: Hawai’i in February that’ll run in April. “Kensi was born as a character on NCIS, 15 years ago, so now to be able to step onto that set again, as a director, with that incredible cast and crew, is an absolute honor,” she tells Deadline. “So many familiar faces and people I love and they’ve welcomed me with open arms.
It’s like coming home.” Ruah made her directorial debut on NCIS: Los Angeles during season 12. NCIS: LA ended on May 21, 2023 with Ruah’s character discovering that she and Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) were going to have a baby.
Callen (Chris O’Donnell) also married his lady love Anna (Bar Paly) in an impromptu city hall wedding. NCIS: LA is tied as the fifth longest-running CBS primetime scripted series ever, only behind Gunsmoke, Lassie, CSI and Criminal Minds.
