Is anyone watching this show?
I feel like a couple of people around here are.

I like Alexander a lot - killing her off basically got me to quit
watching NCIS regularly. (Though this flip side of this is that even
she and Angie Harmon couldn't get me to watch "Rizzoli & Isles" regularly!)...

It turns out she quit NCIS because she decided the work schedule was too grueling. At the time, everyone said nice things, so it wasn't clear
then.

Anyway, if I got Netflix, I might even check out season #4 just for her!

I've been watching Lincoln Lawyer from the beginning. I like Sasha
Alexander too. (I watched all of Rizzoli & Isles from first episode to
last, proving I have a stronger stomach than you ;-)

I thought it was clear at the time, or shortly thereafter, that she
wanted to leave because of the work schedule. I thought she said that explicitly.

I often wonder if actors who voluntarily leave successful shows early
ever look back at the (hundreds of?) millions they left behind.

Same with Lola Glaudini in Criminal Minds. I think she left voluntarily.

Yes, she said that it was because of the work schedule and the use of
multiple cameras. The point being is they always had to stay in
character because they never knew if they were in the shot or not.

I’ve watched the Lincoln lawyer. It’s big problem is they dumped so much of the book there was probably no point in buying the rights in the first
place. But if you don’t know the books, you might well not care. I think
you could join as of season four with no problem.

Considering how insecure acting is as a profession, where most actors
don't make enough to live on and don't work much anyway, giving up a
serious paycheque has to be a really tough call. I can't imagine them
doing so lightly and I'm sure they must have at least some regrets after
they do, especially if they have dependents (or an expensive lifestyle
that they can't give up).

Her last credits listed on IMDb were in 2022, when she was 51. I wonder
if that's the end? I don't recall seeing her in anything in recent
years. Her 28 episodes in Criminal Minds were her longest appearance in
any show.

Actually, her acting career hasn't ended, as the originally-cited
article shows. It's good she's back in the game.

I’m not sure how I’ve been watching it. Maybe on the Plex. I don’t think I
would’ve bothered going after it on the gray. It’s not that good.

The last thing I saw her in was THE EXPANSE, but that’s far too vile a
piece of crap for me to watch for her.

I think her greatest part was a guest shot in LAS VEGAS. If you have access
to that show, Fred Bob says check it out.

Oh, I just remembered, she also has an excellent guest shot on law and
order criminal intent.
