Jennifer Aniston Was Eyeing A Role On NCIS After Friends, But Why Did Negotiations Fail?
After ‘Friends’ came to an end, Jennifer Aniston considered taking a role in a popular police drama, NCIS.
- Jennifer Aniston was considered for a major role in NCIS, but couldn’t commit due to her work on Friends.
- Sasha Alexander was cast as Caitlin Todd after another actress didn’t work out, but eventually left the show due to the demanding schedule.
- After leaving NCIS, Sasha Alexander continued acting in popular shows and movies, including Rizzoli & Isles and Shameless.
NCIS is one of the most popular crime series of all time, and, as of right now, it is the third-longest-running scripted, prime-time TV series currently on the air. After all, this show has been airing uninterrupted since its initial release in 2003, with 20 seasons and more than 450 episodes. Although NCIS started as a spin-off, the success of this military police procedural television series sprouted a franchise of other similar TV series.
Over the years, many popular actors have made unforgettable guest appearances on NCIS, including Jamie Lee Curtis and Bob Newhart. But did you know that an even bigger actress was considered to play a key role in the first season of the show? As it turns out, Jennifer Aniston could have joined the cast of NCIS, but negotiations fell through.
