Sasha Alexander, born in Los Angeles, rose to prominence for her role as Special Agent Caitlin Todd in the first two seasons of NCIS. Before NCIS, she appeared in notable TV shows such as Dawson’s Creek and Friends.
Her character’s storyline on NCIS concluded tragically in the season 2 finale when she was shot by a terrorist. Despite her departure, Alexander made sporadic appearances on the show in subsequent seasons, including seasons 3, 9, and 12.

Additionally, she made a guest appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2020. Her film credits include roles in Yes Man (2008) and He’s Just Not That Into You (2009).
In her personal life, Alexander married writer and director Edoardo Ponti, son of legendary actress Sophia Loren, in 2007. Together, they have two children: daughter Lucia Sofia and son Leonardo Fortunato.
