Since her departure from NCIS, Sasha Alexander, best known for her portrayal of Agent Kate Todd, has maintained an active presence in both television and film.
As Kate Todd, Alexander played a pivotal role in the NCIS team until her shocking exit in the second season, where her character was tragically shot by double-agent Ari Haswari. The storyline took a dramatic turn when Ari’s half-sister, Ziva David, ultimately fatally shot him.
Post-NCIS, Alexander has diversified her portfolio with roles in various shows and films. Notable credits include appearances in “Lucky 13,” “Yes Man,” “Friends,” “The Ride,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “Mission: Impossible III,” and “FBI.”
However, one of her most memorable roles came as Maura Isles in the long-running series “Rizzoli & Isles,” where she starred for six years. Additionally, she portrayed Helene Runyon in the SAG Award-winning series “Shameless.”
In recent years, 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.”
On the personal front, Alexander is married to Edoardo Ponti, whom she met at USC’s film school, with whom she shares two children, Lucia Sofia Ponti and Leonardo Fortunato Ponti. Notably, Alexander is the daughter-in-law of the legendary Italian actress Sophia Loren, who is Edoardo’s mother from her marriage to Carlo Ponti.
In May, the former NCIS star celebrated her 50th birthday with loved ones in Paris, marking another milestone in her illustrious career and personal life.
