Remember Sasha Alexander? This Is Why She Is NOT Acting Anymore

Sasha Alexander left NCIS after only two seasons due to the demanding schedule and long hours required by the show. In a 2012 interview, Alexander explained that the grueling commitment of making 24 episodes a year, often working 17-hour days for 10 and a half months, was unsustainable for her.

Despite the difficulty of leaving such a popular show, Alexander doesn’t regret her decision, believing it led her to a happier personal and professional life. Since leaving NCIS, she has pursued various roles in both television and film, with her most notable post-NCIS role being as Maura Isles in Rizzoli & Isles, alongside Angie Harmon.
