Is she related to Mark Harmon? A: It would be nice to imag- ine a blood tie between rival TV franchises "Law & Order" and "NCIS," but unfortunately the link is in the name alone. Mark Harmon (who until very recently played Gibbs on "NCIS") and Angie Harmon (who previously played Assis- tant District Attorney Abbie Carmichael on "Law & Or- der") are not related. And de- spite being high-profile, bank- able TV stars at the same time, they haven't even done a proj- ect together — not really, any- way. They did both appear in the same "Stand Up to Cancer" fundraising special in 2014, but the same can be said of just about everyone else in Holly- wood, and there's no indication the two Harmons even brushed shoulders backstage. They hail from different parts of the country, too. Angie is from Texas while Mark is a born-and-raised Californian. Indeed, Mark was born into the business — the son of '40s screen star Elyse Knox ("The Mummy's Tomb," 1942) and football star Tom Harmon. Angie, meanwhile, broke into acting the way so many young women without Hollywood connections do — through modeling. She started by win- ning Seventeen magazine's cover-model contest in 1987. Her successful modeling ca- reer led straight to a starring role on the short-lived spinoff series "Baywatch Nights." That led, a couple of years later, to her role on "Law & Or- der" and later to arguably her most famous role, as the Rizzoli half of beloved Boston crime- solvers "Rizzoli & Isles." While we wait for Mark to announce his next move after leaving "NCIS," we already know about Angie's next project(s). It was announced in the summer that she has signed a development deal with Life- time to direct, produce and star in multiple works. The first one up is tentatively titled "Barstow" and will star Angie as a single mother whose dark past threatens to interrupt her new, quiet life. Q: Remember "Chuck"? I loved that show and miss it. What has the actress who played Sarah been doing since? A: The best way to say it is that Yvonne Strahovski has, as of late, been spreading her wings. Her breakout role on the ac- tion-comedy "Chuck" (which aired on NBC from 2007 to 2012) could have pigeonholed her into similar action roles, but she's managed to sidestep that. In 2021, she co-led the popcorn-friendly action flick "The Tomorrow War" along- side Chris Pratt ("Guardians of the Galaxy," 2014) while also continuing in her leading role in the critic-friendly drama se- ries "The Handmaid's Tale." The Margaret Atwood-creat- ed role, which she's held since 2017, wasn't her first foray into prestige TV, however, as she also appeared on the final two seasons of "Dexter" as the title character's fellow serial killer and love interest. Between those two projects, Strahovski also had a lead on the ABC ensemble drama "The Astronaut Wives Club" (in 2015) and did a season of the spy hit "24" (which, of course, brought her much closer to "Chuck" territory) in 2014.
