Why was Sasha Alexander's agent kate todd killed off did she want to leave the show?

Answer 1

When Kate Todd was killed off in NCIS many fans reacted with anger, asking why she had been "sacked" from the show.

The producer Donald Bellisario responded to this criticism by stating that Sasha Alexander had left the show voluntarily, at her own request. She had hot expected the show to last past the first year, and this was in fact the first show she had spent a second year with.

The fact that "she jumped" rather than that she "was pushed" might explain why the replacement character is so similar.

The producers knew what character they wanted in the lead female role, and so when she left they re-cast the role, but left the basic character mostly unchanged.

Having learnt from the past the producers perhaps realised that pulling a"Darrin Stephens" style swop (Dick York to Dick Sargent in Bewitched) with out trying to explain the change in actor would be result in the show losing credibility.

Answer 2

She made a stage name when she joined NCIS. Probubly because her name is really Suzana S. Drobnjakovic and that is really really really hard to remember and prononce so she came up with Sasha Alexander because Sasha was childhood nickname and Alexander is her brother's name.

Answer 3
