Pauley Perrette on Five TV actors you don't want to miss - 重返犯罪現場

Pauley Perrette, "NCIS" (8 p.m. Tuesdays; CBS Channel 2).

Perrette declines to take credit for the popularity of her character,

cheeky goth-girl lab tech Abby Sciuto,

on the popular military crime procedural "NCIS."

"(Series creator) Don Bellisario did an amazing thing

when he cooked up Abby," Perrette enthuses. "When he created 'Magnum, P.I.,'

Vietnam vets were mainly being portrayed as junkies, crooks, complete messes.

He created a vet who was doing fine to give people another angle on a stereotype."

In the same way, Abby offers viewers a portrait different

from the kid lounging outside Amoeba Records on Sunset Boulevard.

"He's presenting a character

that to some people has an extreme kind of look and dress,

but there's nothing about her that isn't completely competent," Perrette says. "She's smart, together, focused and excellent at her job. Young people tell me, 'My grandfather loves you.' She spans a lot of gaps. She may sport dog collars and tattoos, but she's so incredibly smart, there's no way you can't respect her."

Perrette admits the cast was nervous

when Sasha Alexander decided to exit the series.

"Summer was, wooo - scary," she says. "

No one in our show wanted to change the dynamic at all.

I told Don, 'I don't care who you cast,

but please make them cool and fun, no prima donnas."

Lauren Holly and Cote de Pablo joined the cast,

meeting with Perrette's approval: "Not only was my wish granted," she says,

"but granted twice."
