Since her departure from “NCIS,” Sasha Alexander, known for her role as Agent Kate Todd, has maintained an active presence in the entertainment industry. Todd played a pivotal role in the NCIS team until her shocking exit in the second season, where she was tragically shot in the head by double-agent Ari Haswari. The storyline reached a climax when Ari’s half-sister, Ziva David, ultimately fatally shot him.
Following her time on “NCIS,” Alexander has graced a variety of shows and films, including “Lucky 13,” “Yes Man,” “Friends,” “The Ride,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “Mission: Impossible III,” and “FBI.”
One of her most memorable roles came as Maura Isles in the series “Rizzoli & Isles,” where she captivated audiences for six years. Additionally, she portrayed Helene Runyon in the SAG Award-winning series “Shameless.”
In more recent projects, Alexander lent her voice to the character Adeline in the animated film “Deathstroke Knights and Dragons,” starred in “Dangerous Lies,” and made a guest appearance in an episode of “Law and Order.”
In her personal life, Sasha is married to Edoardo Ponti, whom she met at USC’s film school, and they exchanged vows in 2007. Notably, she is the daughter-in-law of the legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren, who is Edoardo’s mother, from her marriage to Carlo Ponti.
Sasha and Edoardo are proud parents to two children, a daughter named Lucia Sofia Ponti and a son named Leonardo Fortunato Ponti.
In May, the former “NCIS” star celebrated her 50th birthday surrounded by loved ones in Paris.
