Mark Harmon, the iconic star of NCIS, recently stirred up fan conversations with a surprising statement comparing his former co-stars, Pauley Perrette and Cote de Pablo. While Harmon has always been diplomatic about praising his castmates, he hinted that Pauley Perrette, who played Abby Sciuto, had a unique knack for connecting with the show’s fanbase in a way that set her apart. “Pauley had this incredible energy that made people instantly feel like they knew her,” Harmon shared in an interview. “Her ability to engage fans off-screen, especially through social media and her advocacy work, was unparalleled.”

He acknowledged Cote’s brilliance as an actress, particularly her emotional depth and intensity on-screen. Harmon’s comments highlight the unique strengths each actress brought to NCIS, reminding fans that both women played pivotal roles in making the show the phenomenon it is today.
