He also talked about Catherine Bell, former “JAG” star and current co-star of Elliott on “NCIS,” in a statement he made earlier this year.
“Not only is it great to be working together again as friends, but to be able to write for Catherine and have her same character interact with our “NCIS: Los Angeles” characters now, that’s wonderfully surreal. It feels like everything has come full circle,” Gimmell said.
