Pauley Perrette may have left her role as Abby Sciuto over five years ago, but her NCIS family still remains close to her heart. Though she has mostly stepped away from acting—only making a brief return in 2020’s Broke and focusing on producing—she delighted fans with a recent reunion with NCIS co-star Brian Dietzen.
Brian, who has played Jimmy Palmer since Season 1, joined Pauley, who portrayed Abby from 2003 to 2018, for a nostalgic get-together. The duo, along with Criminal Minds star Kirsten Vangsness, reunited at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles for a Sarah McLachlan concert. Pauley, rocking her signature rainbow-colored hair, shared joyful photos of the trio smiling, with Brian in the middle.
“NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED HERE!” Pauley joked in her caption, adding: “Just me, @briankdietzen, and @kirstenvangsness at the @hollywoodbowl seeing the Amazing Icon @officialsarahmclachlan. Just beautiful.”
Fans flooded the comments, thrilled by the reunion and crossover, with comments like: “Garcia, Abby, and Jimmy!” and “Best crossover ever!” Others added: “Your smiles light up my day,” and “What a crew! Three greats of TV drama!”
These days, Pauley has traded the spotlight for gardening, sharing a sweet photo of a white and yellow flower, alongside her tattooed hand. “I’m notorious for having sticks and leaves in my hair,” she wrote, explaining her love for yard work. “Building stuff, planting stuff, always doing stuff,” she added, finding the flower stuck in her hair from a day in the garden.
