Line 31:
* [[Dye Hard]]: Pauley Perrette is a natural blonde but dyes her hair black to play Abby (occasionally using black powder to hide her roots for when she's too tired to dye them). The cumulative effects of dyeing her hair for so long caused her to have a severe allergic reaction that made her face swell up like a balloon. The left side of her face is noticeably puffy in the early episodes of Season 12.
* [[Edited for Syndication]]: At least in daytime UK screenings, for gore and violence rather than for timing.
* [[Fake Nationality]]:
** Coincidentally, the in-series siblings Ziva and Ari. The Israeli Mossad agent Ziva is played by Chilean actress Cote de Pablo, and the Israeli/Palestinian double agent Ari is played by German actor Rudolf Martin.
** Director Thomas Morrow is portrayed by Alan Dale, who is from New Zealand.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The main cast have appeared in a lot of other shows. Mark Harmon, Rocky Carroll and Lauren Holly all costarred on ''Chicago Hope''. Carroll had his own sitcom and was the voice of Derek Maza/Talon on ''[[Gargoyles]]''. Holly had starring roles in ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]'' and ''Picket Fences''. Sean Murray was on ''[[Hocus Pocus]]'' and ''[[JAG]]''; he played two different characters in ''[[JAG]]'' so if you count it as being in the same verse as ''NCIS'' it means he's played 3 different characters in the same universe. Michael Weatherly was on ''[[Dark Angel]]''. More recently, the actress who played Agent Lee, Liza Lapira, has turned up in ''[[Dollhouse]]'' and ''[[Dexter]]''. Ducky co-starred in ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'' as Illya Kuryakin (or as Eric Ashley-Pitt from ''[[The Great Escape]]''). ''NCIS'''s pilot episode can count as a [[Mythology Gag]] of sorts, since Ducky at times appears to be the team leader instead of Gibbs, mirroring his prominent role in ''UNCLE''. See also [[Actor Allusion]]. Also, although not likely to be brought up in an American show, McCallum was the Steel half of ''[[Sapphire and Steel]]''.
** ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' fans will wonder about how the SGC intends to get Jonas Quinn off for serial murder in "Skeletons". They might be further confused by Martouf being a dirty Metro cop in "Lost And Found". Master Bra'tac apparently has a double life as elusive ultra-forger Khamal Khakani. Colonel Makepeace appears as an ex-Army colonel running a mercenary band that's hunting Mike Franks' daughter-in-law in a season 7 episode. Valla murders a man who has been killing off her dealers in season 7 episode "Borderland". The late Don S. Davis appeared as a government official in the second season and contributed to one of McGee's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|most awesome moments]]. And Jack O'Neill's clone was apparently adopted by a Marine and who was forced to hold a classroom hostage by Mexican drug runners. ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' fans will notice that Michael kidnapped Director Sheppard, and Elizabeth Weir is an overworked ME in "Identity Crisis" and recurs as Ducky's temporary replacement. For the ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' fans there's the deceased [[Stargate Universe|Gloria Rush]] as the now deceased Lara Macy and [[Stargate Universe|Tamara Johansen]] as Dana Arnett from the season 5 episode 'Leap of Faith'.
