CCH Pounder – Loretta Wade
Loretta Wade, the team’s coroner, was played by CCH Pounder, who provides crucial information to the NCIS team for forensics and autopsies.

Paula Newsome – Jackie Vance
We’ve already met Director Leon Vance on NCIS, and for ten years, he returned home to his happy family every night. Jackie Vance, his wife’s character, was played by actress Paula Newsome, and she was killed off in the tenth season because he was too happy at home! Paula went on to guest star in How to Get Away with Murder, Cougar Town, and Castle after her time on NCIS. In two seasons of Chicago Med, she played CeCe, a much more substantial role.
