I had to say one line, turn around, and then there would be explosions, gunshots, all sorts of things. What happened? It was a very simple stunt. I feel so much better now.ĭo you feel better because you're working out again? I only just went back to exercising because I injured my neck, working on the show. I went back on the Pill, and eventually everything went back to the way it had always been. How long did it last? It took me about two years to get back on track. I'm going to be carrying a little more weight, and I don't care.' Sometimes nature needs to do what it has to do to get something out of your system. It really affected you, didn't it? There were two ways of looking at it: You could say, 'Oh, God,' and cry about it, or say, 'You know what? This is who I am. Within two months, voom, I gained fifteen pounds in my belly because it felt like it was pregnant. So I took a shot of Depo-Provera for birth control. I had wanted to get off the Pill, because I'd been on it for a while and I thought that at some point I would want to get pregnant. I had lots of issues with my stomach a few years ago. So you love food-but you've never had a weight problem. I tried to pick up on that talent a little bit, but hers is innate. Yes, that's one of the things I love about her-just going with the drift, seeing what you can make out of what you have. My mom has a rare talent for being able to open up the refrigerator, and with the peas, the leftover eggs, the cream, the spinach, the cheese, and a little rice, she can just whip up incredible risotto. Then I go to South America and I'm with her. She stays with me for two to three weeks. One of my favorite things is when my mom comes to visit. Your parents separated a few years ago, and your mom has moved back to Chile. Maybe it was the loss of my country at such a young age. I don't know why at such a young age I could understand where they were coming from. I always say I'll be a great older character actor because I somehow identify with women who have gone through things, like the women in Stephen Sondheim's musicals. But this kind of hippie world at school allowed me to explore the creativity and imagination that live inside all of us. I come from a traditional, conservative world. I always describe myself as sort of a hippie. Sounds like it was a formative experience. My friend had the perfect saying for it: 'You found your tribe.' We're not Chilean or Argentinean or Brazilian or Russian. It wasn't till I got to the United States that I learned to speak English. I had always been interested in the arts, but performing became even more important because it was a way to communicate with people in my new country. And I found my niche because I went to a performing arts high school. Was that hard? I missed my country and my friends terribly.

When you were ten, you moved with your parents and two siblings from Santiago, Chile, to Miami, FL.

The 31-year-old woman who brings to life a steely, never-see-her-sweat probationary agent each week happily describes herself as an old-soul Latina hippie who loves hanging out with her mom, a former TV newscaster. So who is de Pablo off set? That's a delightful surprise. Even if you don't yet know her name, you certainly know her face, as the show is a ratings hit, especially this season.

Fans love the ensemble cast of NCIS, but a key part of the show's megasuccess rests on the strong yet delicate shoulders of Cote de Pablo, who plays Ziva David, the former Israeli Mossad liaison who seems to have no idea how gorgeous she is.
