My Take
I'll be honest — I came to Emily Wickersham late, but once I caught her as Eleanor "Ellie" Bishop on NCIS, I totally got it. She joined one of TV's biggest procedurals back in season 11 and held her own for nearly a decade, which is no small feat when you're stepping into a show that already has a deeply loyal fanbase. What I appreciate is that she never played Ellie as a quirky sidekick — there was always a quiet intelligence and genuine emotional weight to her work. A Kansas girl who went to Muhlenberg College and paid her dues, she built her career the slow, steady way rather than chasing shortcuts. Her 2021 exit from NCIS felt genuinely bittersweet, which tells you everything — you only miss someone on a show if they actually mattered.
