Cote de Pablo almost didn’t land the iconic role of Ziva David on NCIS, but once she did, she became an essential part of the show for nearly a decade. From seasons 3 to 11, Ziva became one of the franchise’s most beloved characters, her powerful presence cementing her place in NCIS history. Her on-screen chemistry with Tony DiNozzo (played by Michael Weatherly) was undeniable, so much so that it sparked the creation of a spinoff: NCIS: Tony & Ziva. Fans couldn’t get enough of their dynamic, and now their journey continues in this exciting new chapter!
