"NCIS" fans total in the millions, and when a second show was announced many were concerned about "the curse of the spin-off" where the second is never as good as the first. Happily, "NCIS: Los Angeles" has not suffered but prospered. Ratings are through the roof for CBS and many attribute the cast as the reason why.
Actress Renee Felice Smith joined the cast full-time in season two as the spunky "Nell Jones", counterpart to "Eric" (actor Barrett Foa) in the "Opps Center" of the NCIS: LA clubhouse. KP speaks with Renee at the SAG Awards gift suite in Hollywood about the differences between the two shows, how she got cast for the part, and how she thinks she may handle her next job after being on such a hit.
