TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE YOUR FAVORITE JAG STARS ARE NOW
Before the crime series NCIS made it a household name, many viewers were glued to their TV screens watching the show JAG. Those same viewers probably remember its series finale as gratifying as that of The Sopranos or student loans. People wanted to know if either Mac or Harm were willing to give up their careers for each other. If you loved the show back when it still aired, then this list is just for fans like you. We got all the latest news on your beloved JAG cast members, including their love lives, so read on!
CHUCK CARRINGTON
The handsome Petty Officer First Class Jason Tiner is hard to miss when you are busy reminiscing about this show. Maybe his name or his face may not mean anything to you either, especially since he continued to Officer Candidate School after claiming his degree in law school.
After his long run portraying the role of Petty Officer Tiner on the show, the blue-eyed heartthrob took on the part of Renny Jacobsen in the scary film The List. If you haven’t had enough of him yet, you could find him in the comedy-drama series Shameless in the role of Dan.
KARRI TURNER
Light-haired charmer Karri Turner takes credit for portraying the role of Lieutenant Harriet Sims on the show. When she wasn’t on camera, she was also a remarkable comedienne who had put on acts for American troops while sharing the stage with fellow comedians Michael MacDonald and Kathy Griffin, finishing 13 USO tours in total.
When JAG ended in 2005, Turner later took on a lead role in the 2009 comedy film Hurricane in the Rose Garden and also made several cameos in other TV shows like Heroes. When she wasn’t performing, she collaborated with the National Guard Youth Challenge Program and the American Freedom Foundation.
DAVID JAMES ELLIOTT
When his time as Harm or Captain Harmon Rabb Jr. on the show ended, David James Elliott pursued his acting career further. He played the role of a football star with seemingly poor insurance in the TV drama movie The Man Who Lost Himself, alongside his previous co-star and spouse Nanci Chambers.
After his performance in the film mentioned above, Elliott also took on leading roles in the legal drama series Close to Home, The Guard, and CSI, as well as the period drama show Mad Men. His work isn’t only limited to the small screen; he also appeared in the 2015 film Trumbo as John Wayne.
PATRICK LABYORTEAUX
The man behind the role of Captain Bud J. Roberts seemed to disappear after the show ended, but it’s only because actor Patrick Labyorteaux committed his artistic efforts behind the camera, lending his voice to cartoon characters like on the animated show Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
Labyorteaux was also the creative mind behind the Nick at Nite TV series See Dad Run together with his wife Tina Albanese. He also managed to grant his credit role as Captain Bud a proper farewell when he appeared twice in JAG’s spin-off drama series NCIS.
SCOTT LAWRENCE
Scott Lawrence got his career soaring higher than your student loans when he came on to the show as Commander Sturgis. After the series ended, he was cast as the crew chief in the film Avatar that was directed by James Cameron. He also appeared in the movie The Social Network in the role of Maurice.
JAG may have ended, but that doesn’t stop Lawrence from appearing in its spin-off series NCIS, reprising his role in the Season 8 episode entitled “A Man Walks Into a Bar…” He also starred in Star Trek: Into Darkness and Star Trek: Voyager.
ZOE MCLELLAN
Zoe McLellan took on the role of Officer Jen on the show. Still, this stunner didn’t take long to unveil her sexy side when she portrayed art dealer Lisa George, who’s made a number of investments in several artworks, in the ABC primetime drama series Dirty Sexy Money. Just like her JAG co-stars, McLellan made an appearance on the New Orleans edition of NCIS but as former NCIS Supervisory Special Agent Meredith Brody.
Aside from these shows, she also made several cameos in other TV shows like House and The Mentalist. Her latest is Designated Survivor, along with Kiefer Sutherland.
RANDY VASQUEZ
Randy Vasquez took the role of Tiner’s rival Gunnery Sergeant Victor Galindez on JAG, but just because the show ended didn’t mean that we already saw the last of Vasquez. He made a cameo credit in CSI: Miami as dodgy restaurant owner Arthur Martinez and also appeared in Bosch as Chief Deputy Lou Escobar of the LA District Attorney’s prosecution branch.
Vasquez is not only an actor; he also tried his hand at filmmaking, as seen in his 2005 directorial debut in the comedy-drama thriller Dangerous Perceptions, which he directed along with co-star Dawn Grabowski.
STEVEN CULP
Steven Culp took on the role of CIA deputy director Clayton Webb on the show. His fashion sense was keener than a lawyer’s sense of justice. But when the show ended, he followed his several co-stars who appeared on NCIS. He took on the role of Commander William Skinner. He also worked on the NBC TV series The West Wing as Speaker of the House Jeff Haffley and a couple of other TV shows.
Culp became a household name when he was cast in the beloved TV show Desperate Housewives as Bree Van de Kamp’s first and late husband Rex.
NANCI CHAMBERS
Nanci Chambers portrayed the role of junior attorney Lieutenant Loren Singer on the show JAG, but her character as Lt. Singer later died and was found in the woods by a boy sometime after the revelation of her pregnancy.
Chambers has been in a relationship with her on-screen co-star David James Elliott, to whom she was wed in 1992. Aside from her work on JAG, she also appeared in an episode of the TV series Ghost Whisperer as Terry and in the 2005 TV film The Man Who Lost Himself together with her husband, Elliott.
PAUL COLLINS
English actor Paul Collins took on the role of US Secretary of the Navy Alexander Nelson on the show, but he may not be as memorable as the other stars that we already mentioned on this list. This wasn’t his only role in the series, though, as he also portrayed as Secretary of War John Spencer and Mort Reese.
After the show wrapped up in 2005, Collins did not stop acting as he continued to work with both film and TV, taking credit for the appearances that he made in Boston Legal, The West Wing, and Sons of Anarchy.
MICHAEL BELLISARIO
Fans of the series may remember Michael Bellisario for playing the part of Midshipman Third Class Michael Roberts, but they tend to forget and may not even believe that the show’s creator is his father.
When the show ended, Bellisario also got cast in the spin-off series NCIS as lab assistant Charles ‘Chip’ Sterling. Before JAG, he also appeared in four episodes of the TV show Quantum Leap. He’s not the only actor in the family though; his stepsister Troian Avery takes credit for the role of Spencer in the drama series Pretty Little Liars.
HARRISON PAGE
The role of the headstrong Rear Admiral Stiles Morris was played by Atlanta-born TV and movie actor Harrison Page, who also appeared in the TV miniseries Players at the Poker Palace as Boomer.
Besides these shows, Page worked on other TV series like Grey’s Anatomy, where he took credit for the role of an Alzheimer’s disease patient, Daniel Cobb. The Georgia native has been married to Christina Giles, with whom he has one child.
JENNIFER SAVIDGE
California-born actress Jennifer Savidge portrayed the role of Commander Amy Helfman on the show. She continued with her acting career after her stint on the series ended, portraying the character of Aubry’s mother, Ruth Taylor, in the ABC crime anthology series American Crime.
St. Elsewhere star, born as Jennifer Alyson Savidge, has been married since 2001 to Robert Fuller, who has since retired from the world of acting and now gets by as a horse rancher. Let us hope they got a good home insurance plan for the ranch that they probably live on.
TRACEY NEEDHAM
Tracey Needham’s name may not ring a bell compare to other JAG stars, but she appeared early on the series as Lieutenant Harmon Rabb’s second partner, Lieutenant Junior Grade Meghan “Meg” Austin.
When Needham’s run on the show ended, she moved on to other TV projects like the cop series Veronica Mars and The Division, where she took credit for the role of Inspector Candace DeLorenzo. She is currently the wife of fellow actor Tommy Hinkley, with whom she has a daughter.
ANNE-MARIE JOHNSON
Steadfast women’s rights supporter Congresswoman Roberta “Bobbi” Latham, who romantically got involved with Harm before falling for lawyer Navy Commander Sturgis Turner, was portrayed by actress Anne-Marie Johnson. She accomplished a historical feat back in 2005 when she was recognized as the first National VP of the Screen Actors Guild. She also appeared on other TV shows like NCIS, Boston Legal, Pretty Little Liars, and Grey’s Anatomy.
Johnson also made several appearances on the Disney Channel show That’s So Raven, where she stayed for a while as a recurring character. One of her latest works was on Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later.
CINDY AMBUEHL
LA-born native Cindy Ambuehl started her acting career when she was cast on JAG as Lieutenant Harmon Rabb’s girlfriend Renee Peterson, but the model-turned-actress has since grabbed whatever opportunity comes along her way in Hollywood.
One of her more recent acting credits involves a three-episode appearance in the CBS daytime TV soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful in the role of Amy. In regards to her love life, she has since been wed to fellow actor Don Diamont, with whom she has twin boys.
ISABELLA HOFMANN
Isabella Hofman joined the cast of JAG on the latter part of the series as Professor Meredith Cavanaugh, who seemed to have accomplished her fair share of degrees. Like her fellow cast members on the show, Hoffman went on to appear on the spin-off series NCIS.
She took on the role of Lily Stein’s mother, Clarissa, during her three-episode run on The Flash while also making an appearance lasting two episodes in Legends of Tomorrow. As for her love life, Hofmann has been in a relationship since the ‘90s with actor, director, and producer Daniel Baldwin, with whom she has a child.
DAVID ANDREWS
Louisiana-born actor David Andrews was briefly a lawyer in practice before he decided to move to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting, landing the part of the tough Major General Gordon “Biff” Creswell on JAG until his career flourished.
Besides his appearance on JAG, Andrews made appearances in the TV series Crisis and Brothers & Sisters as Special Agent Hurst and as Ryan Lafferty’s step-father George. He also took on the role of the brash Secretary of Defense Frommer in the science fiction series The Whispers and as attorney Hugh Murphy in the thriller show How to Get Away with Murder.
HALLEE HIRSH
Actress Hallee Hirsh’s character Mattie Grace Johnson, Harm’s temporary foster daughter and the owner of a crop-dusting venture, was not exactly as memorable as the other characters on the show.
Hirsh may not have been a significant cast member on JAG. However, you may know her better from her portrayal of medical student Rachel Greene, the daughter of Mark Greene, who is on a pursuit to claiming her degree in medicine on the award-winning TV medical drama ER. These two roles alone served as Hirsh’s launchpad into a prolific career in the showbiz industry as a successful young actress.
W.K. STRATTON
Many members of the JAG cast credits the show for catapulting their careers in the showbiz industry into prolific success, but the same can’t be said for actor W.K. Stratton. He decided to wind down from acting after portraying the role of Rear Admiral Brovo’s assistant Commander Theodore “Teddy” Lindsey.
Stratton settled down in Lake Arrowhead with artist Maureen Denise Lacoste, whom he was married and had three children with. He did not stop cold-turkey from the entertainment industry. However, his only project after the show was his voice-acting work as Walla in the video game Transformers: The Game.
ZUHAIR HADDAD
Zuhair Haddad may not be as familiar to the masses as other more famous celebrities will be to them, but fans of the show may better recall him for his portrayal of Anwar Sahaj or maybe even the attorney and prosecutor Marout Zabi.
After the series, Haddad appeared in films like The Pursuit of Happyness as a cab driver and in The Hangover Part III as a sheik. The Arab-American actor also lent his voice to animated shows like American Dad and video games like Assassin’s Creed.
RIF HUTTON
Texas-born actor Rif Hutton portrayed the role of the smug Lieutenant Commander Alan Mattoni on the show. But once his run on JAG wrapped up, he continued to earn so many acting credits with his constant appearances in other TV series that it might be challenging to list them all.
Hutton made an appearance on the supernatural series Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a general, and the crime drama show Criminal Minds as Warden Bryan Nabb. He also portrayed the role of a drug addict and murderer Mason “Runner” Tucker in the police procedural drama series Cold Case.
JOHN DEMITA
John DeMita took on the role of Colonel Clifford Blakely on the show. When he was finished with his part on JAG, DeMita went on to loan his voice to pursue a career in voice acting instead. He provided the English voice work for the character of Hyuga clan patriarch Hiashi Hyuga in the Naruto TV and video game franchise, as well as for the role of mouthless Hunter Exam proctor Satotz in the anime Hunter x Hunter.
DeMita got married to voice actress Julia Fletcher, with whom he has two children.
MATT SIGLOCH
Retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant Matt Sigloch did not only work on the show as the actor that portrayed the role of Master Sergeant Tom Androvich; he voluntarily utilized his own military background as the show’s military-technical advisor.
Realizing the significance and potential benefits of his Valley Forge Military Academy honors degree and experiences for the showbiz industry, he started his own venture, called Sigloch Military-Tactical, which provides TV and movie productions with military and tactical support. Besides running his own company, he appeared in other TV series like American Horror Story, Criminal Minds, Rosewood, and Scandal.
JADE CARTER
Canadian travel enthusiast Jade Carter took on the role of Harm’s Russian half-brother Sergeant Sergei Zhukov on the show, but the moment his character left, he continued to appear in front of the camera for many other TV displays as well as a few movies and shorts.
He garnered more acting credits when he was cast in the science fiction series Solo: The Series, the criminal comedy show Castle, the JAG spin-off series NCIS, and the daytime show Passions. One of his more notable performances comes in his portrayal of lovestruck soldier Brent in the military romance film Love or War.
DEAN STOCKWELL
Once a poster child actor during the ‘40s, veteran performer Dean Stockwell was cast as second U.S. Secretary of the Navy Edward Sheffield in JAG. When his time on the show finished, he chose to concentrate on big-budget projects, like the films Entertainment and Deep in the Darkness, as well as other TV shows like Battlestar Galactica.
With a career in the showbiz industry spanning over seven decades, he is one of the few performers still alive and actively performing since the Golden Age of Hollywood. He already had his fair share of performing credits attributed to his name.
JOHN D’AQUINO
Brooklyn-born actor and producer John D’Aquino portrayed the role of ZNN war reporter Stuart Dunston on the show, but just because his time on JAG was over does not mean his career was either. After JAG, he continued to perform in front of the camera for other shows like Dexter, Hannah Montana, and NCIS.
If you recall the Disney Channel That’s So Raven spin-off series Cory in the House, D’Aquino made a cameo on the show as the President. One of his more recent acting credits comes from his performance on the zany TV series In Sanity, Florida, as Harris Smith.
TERRY O’QUINN
Born as Terrance O’Quinn, Michigan native Terry O’Quinn may be better known for his performance in the TV thriller series Lost as the formerly disabled “Man of Faith” John Locke. The actor also appeared on the show JAG in the role of Rear Admiral Thomas “CAG” Boone.
Besides these acting credits, O’Quinn portrayed the roles of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Nicholas Alexander on The West Wing, retired the US Navy Seal Joe White on the action-packed series Hawaii Five-0, and private intelligence contractor Howard Hargrave on The Blacklist: Redemption.
KEVIN FRY
The career of Kevin Fry started to soar after he portrayed the role of Commander Morton on the show. When he left the series, Fry appeared in three episodes of the political drama series Scandal as well as in the third and seventh seasons of the espionage show 24.
He would later change his name to Kevin Fry-Bowers, but he continued gaining more acting credits thanks to his portrayals of Bodyguard Many on the action movie Taken 3, True IRA member Neil on the FX original Sons of Anarchy, and a sensual Greek man on the historical film 300: Rise of an Empire.
JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN
Seattle native Jeffrey Dean Morgan portrayed a small role of a CIA technician on the show, but his projects after his run on JAG provided him with a solid flooring in the showbiz industry.
Morgan took on the role of vengeful demon-hunter John Winchester on the supernatural series Supernatural as well as the part of the Katherine Heigl’s on-screen love interest and endearing heart patient Denny Duquette on the medical soap opera Grey’s Anatomy. He most recently played the role of Saviors group founder Negan on the FX’s serial adaptation of the comics The Walking Dead.
DANA SPARKS
Orinda-born actress Dana Sparks took on the role of aspiring lawyer Commander Carolyn Imes on the show before her eight-season run on the NBC daytime soap opera Passions as Faith Standish’s twin sister, Grace Bennett. She also made a brief appearance on the drama film Atlas Shrugged II: The Strike as a reception guest.
Sparks was not only all about the art of acting, though. She once served as the executive director of the nonprofit media organization Regenerate Films, but she has since stepped down and now works as one of its board members and as a producer.
A.J. TANNEN
Born to the world as Aviv Joshua Tenenbaum, LA-based actor and producer A.J. Tannen portrayed the role of JAG Officer Lieutenant Alfred Aldridge on the show before moving on to appear in other beloved TV series like the comedic drama Transparent and the comedy New Girl. He also took on the role of Franc Thomas Jr. in the horror film The Darkness.
Tannen’s career in the showbiz industry soared higher than student loans ever could after his eight-episode run on the series JAG, and today you can find him still working in Hollywood as both an actor and a producer.
CYNTHIA SIKES
Coffeyville-born actress and producer Cynthia Sikes portrayed the part of Admiral A.J. Chegwidden’s love interest, Dr. Sidney Walden, for only eight episodes. When her stint on the show was over, she was later cast as Sabrina Costelana Newman’s mother, Zara Costelana, in the long-running soap opera The Young and the Restless, where she appeared for only four episodes.
Sikes’ more recent acting credit goes to her performance on the serial cop drama Aquarius, where she played the role of Betty Goodale for only four episodes. Besides acting, she also worked on the 2017 film Blade Runner 2049 as a producer.

CHRIS BEETEM
Born to the world as Christoper Lapinski, Chris Beetem’s career in the showbiz industry only continued to soar after his run on the show as the suave Lieutenant Gregory Vukovic was finished. He broadened his skills from acting but also to directing.
After earning his acting credit on JAG, you may have seen this Black Hawk Down star perform in the horror movie Emelie as the family patriarch Dan or on Amy Schumer’s sketch comedy series Inside Amy Schumer on Comedy Central. When he is not acting in front of the camera, you can also find him writing or working in the director’s chair.
MATTHEW JOSTEN
The young A.J. Roberts was just too cute on the show, but actor and director Matthew Josten, the actor who portrayed the son of Harriet and Bud Roberts, had grown up a lot after his time on JAG. He pursued more projects that made his time in Hollywood prosperous, turning him into a key investment in the industry.
Josten is not only a credible actor but is also a producer who also loaned his voice to several projects like Chicken Little, where he voiced the tiny alien Kirby. He appeared on the serial comedy Rodney as Rodney Hamilton’s son Bo.
SUSAN HASKELL
Canadian actress Susan Haskell took on the role of Harm’s brief partner Lieutenant Commander Jordan Parker on the show, but since her character was killed off in its sixth season, she decided to take fewer projects unlike some of her co-stars.
She continues to act despite the decrease in activity. She made appearances on the thriller film The Good Shepherd as a dinner guest as well as on the daytime soap opera One Life to Live, where she portrayed the part of “poor little rich girl” Dr. Marty Saybrooke, to which she owes the credit for winning an Emmy Award.
ANDREA THOMPSON
Dayton-born actress Andrea Thompson, born Rebecca Andrea Thompson, portrayed the part of Harm’s original direct superior and later Admiral Chegwidden’s right-hand Captain Alison Krennik before being cast in the serial crime series 24 as National Health Services doctor and HAZMAT leader Dr. Nicole Duncan for only five episodes.
Thompson got her degree in acting from a program in New York City. She then continued as a performer and journalist on more TV shows like the science fiction mini-series Heroes: Destiny, where she played a woman with a face more stern than a lawyer in court for only four episodes.
SCOTT PAULIN
Scott Paulin appeared on the show as USS Seahawk commanding officer Captain Johnson before he continued to work on other projects like the TV series Boston Legal, CSI, Lost, and NCIS.
Some of his most recent acting credits are on the CBS daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, where he appeared as Dr. Ed Botnik and on the serial drama Castle, where he took on the role of Detective Kate Beckett’s father, Jim. Paulin had been wed since 1981 to fellow actress Wendy Phillips, with whom he has one child.
TAMLYN TOMITA
Japanese actress Tamlyn Tomita portrayed the part of SecNav Edward Sheffield’s eyes and ears, Lieutenant Commander Tracy Manetti. She grew up with her brothers, who are all lawyers, before she joined the second season of serial crime show 24 as President David Palmer’s press secretary Jenny Dodge as well in the disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow as Janet Tokada.
Like a couple of her co-stars on JAG, Tomita got to star in the soap opera General Hospital as Giselle. She also took on the role of the 900-year-old ‘kitsune’ Noshiko Yukimura on the supernatural series Teen Wolf.
ALEX KUZNETSOV
Born in the town of Petrovka in what was once the Soviet Union as Aleksandr Konstantinovich Kuznetsov, actor and writer Alex Kuznetsov portrayed the part of the brash Captain Alexander Volkonov on the show. He then decided to earn more acting credits by working on additional TV show productions.
The Bourne Supremacy star was cast in the fifth season of the serial crime 24 as Dawn Brigade terrorist and Vladimir Bierko’s sub-commander Ostroff, as well as in the action series Insomnia as Insomnia game participant Oleg. Kuznetsov also lent his voice to the war-themed shooter video game Call of Duty: Finest Hour.
LARRY POINDEXTER
Born to production designer H.R. Poindexter and opera singer Sue Ann Poindexter, actor, casting director, and producer Larry Poindexter played as attorney Dalton Lowne on JAG. He then appeared on the soap opera General Hospital as psychiatrist Dr. Asher Thomas, which may be his most remarkable performance yet as an actor. He also took on the role of FBI agent Ray Collins on the short-lived superhero series Blade: The Series.
Besides these shows, Poindexter also worked on other TV programs like the serial comedy The Hard Times of RJ Berger and the soap opera Days of Our Lives.
PETER MURNIK
Massachusetts-born actor Peter Murnik took on the role of former DSD member Special Agent Clark Palmer before he moved on to being cast in the second and third seasons of the FX serial drama Justified as Kentucky State Trooper Tom Bergen. He also appeared on the drama show Granite Flats as Wallace Jenkins’ father, Hershel.
A few of his more recent acting credits go to his performance in the horror series The Mist as Mike Copeland for only three episodes that included the pilot as well as in the Netflix crime show Mindhunter as Detective Carver for only two episodes.
TRISHA YEARWOOD
Recording artist, actress, and producer Trisha Yearwood appeared on JAG as forensic pathologist Lieutenant Commander Teresa Coulter, who practiced her medical degree as a Memphis-based medical examiner. Soon after, she was cast on the TV movie The Passion, where she took on the part of Jesus’ mother, Mary. Lately, though, she had shifted her performing career over to becoming a recording artist instead.
Yearwood not only acted with scripts; in fact, she got to produce six episodes of her reality cooking show Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, where she also served as its host.
RICHARD MCGONAGLE
Boston native Richard McGonagle takes credit for his portrayal of the role of JAG officer Captain Richard Carey on the show. His career in Hollywood didn’t end after his stint on JAG, but he switched over to the art of voice acting instead, lending his voice to the fearsome Supreme Commander General Grievous, the Nelvaanian locals Harvos and Orvos, and the Nautolan Jedi Master Kit Fisto in the animated Star Wars spin-off series Star Wars: Clone Wars.
The actor and producer also provided voice work for other animated shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Ben 10, and Regular Show.
ANDREA PARKER
Californian native Andrea Parker’s performance on the show as Harm’s first love interest, Commander Caitlin “Kate,” Pike proved her skills as a Hollywood-worthy actress, earning her more acting credits after her run on JAG.
When she finished playing Kate on the series, Parker was cast on the comedic drama show Desperate Housewives as Tom Scavo’s girlfriend Jane Carlson as well as on the serial comedy Less Than Perfect as Claude’s fellow assistant Lydia Weston. Her acting prowess even got her the part of Alison’s mother Jessica DiLaurentis and Jessica’s older twin Mary Drake on the teen thriller series Pretty Little Liars.
BERNARD WHITE
The character of terrorist Sadik Fahd on the show may not have been as memorable as the other main characters on this list since its star Bernard White only showed up on four episodes. However, everything changed when he made his most notable appearance on the comedic movie musical American Dreams as Agha Babur.
If neither of these roles rings a bell to you, maybe you can better recognize the Sri Lankan actor, writer, and director from his acting credits on the sci-fi action films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions as the program Rama-Kandra.
GLENN MORSHOWER
Born with the name Glenn Grove Bennett, Glenn Morshower took on the role of Chief Petty Officer Ned Bannon on JAG before he moved on to his more recognizable performance on the crime series 24 as Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce.
Morshower then went on to act for the political drama The West Wing as military advisor Mike Chysler and for the sports drama series Friday Night Lights as Police Sergeant Chad Clarke. His latest acting credits go to his work on the comedic drama program I’m Dying Up Here as Warren Hobb and on the superhero show Supergirl as General Samuel Lane.
DYLAN NEAL
Landing the part of Navy Lieutenant Dalton Jonas served as Canadian actor Dylan Neal’s big break, launching his career in the showbiz industry into success. He is now a well-known actor with many acting credits that go right under his belt.
He was later cast on the teen drama series Dawson’s Creek as Pacey Witter’s older brother Doug as well as on the supernatural teen program Sabrina, The Teenage Witch as Sabrina Spellman’s mortal ex-fiance Aaron Jacobs. Some of his more recent performances included his work on the Hallmark Channel serial romance Cedar Cove in the role of Jack Griffith.
SAM HENNINGS
It seems hard to believe that it has been nearly two decades since we last see Georgia-born actor Sam Hennings take credit for the role of Captain Huddleston on the show.
Aside from JAG, Hennings was cast on other TV shows like Castle as Bailey’s boss Seth Harris, Eleventh Hour as Deputy Sheriff Bill Larrson, and ER as the U.S. financial attache Steve Davison. The criminal comedy show Memphis Beat as veteran MPD detective Charlie “Whitehead” White.
WILL ROTHHAAR
At the height of JAG’s fame, fans everywhere fell for the lovable Josh Pendry, who was portrayed by actor and composer Will Rothhaar. When his time on the series ended, Rothhaar continued to show the showbiz industry the full extent of his acting skills.
He continued to gain more acting credits when he appeared on the comedic drama Jack Frost as Charlie’s friend Dennis. Rothaar was also cast on Castle as Jared Stone, on CSI as both Sean Becker and a rollercoaster operator, and on Memphis Beat as Dean. He also played Lee Harvey Oswald in the historical film Killing Kennedy.
SHASHAWNEE HALL
Just because Shashawnee Hall takes credit for the roles of Morgan Watley, FBI Agent Marvin Novack, and Corporal Green on the show doesn’t mean his career in the showbiz industry is the same.
The actor and producer appeared several times throughout the whole run of crime series NCIS. He also made appearances on the serial drama Lie to Me as Larry Bernardo, on the police procedural The Closer as Dennis Kean, and the supernatural drama Medium as Principal Phillips. Hall even scored roles on the beloved comedy films Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty. Lately, he’s been doing well as a producer.
CATHERINE BELL
London-born actress and producer Catherine Bell owes credit to her good looks for getting her more projects after her stint on the show as Harm’s best friend and Marine lawyer Colonel Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie wrapped up.
She can be seen portraying nursing degree-holder Denise Sherwood on the Lifetime TV series Army Wives and starring in the Hallmark Channel TV show The Good Witch as protagonist Cassandra “Cassie” Nightingale. When she is not acting in front of the camera, Bell claims to be a practicing Scientologist, who was formerly wed to writer and producer Adam Beason.
NED VAUGHN
Actor Ned Vaughn’s performance on the show as Lt. Carl Barrett may have been memorable, but his portrayal of former Air Force officer Mitch Anderson in the fourth season of the crime series 24 got him the fame that he deserved.
Vaughn’s work on 24 served as the solid flooring that launched his career towards success. He not only appeared on this show but also made appearances on other TV programs like the drama series Cane, where he was cast as Assistant District Attorney Michael Bronson and the political drama show Commander in Chief as Reporter Charlie.
MONTEL WILLIAMS
Baltimore-born actor and producer Montel Williams only made a brief appearance on JAG as Navy SEAL instructor Lieutenant Curtis Rivers. So, you have to wonder what other acting credits he gained after his three-episode run on the series.
Williams did not rest after; he just loved being in front of the camera. The Emmy Award-winner continued to take on small acting projects until he started his own talk show, The Montel Williams Show. This earned several nominations and helped him win his 1996 Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host.
META GOLDING
Haitian actress Meta Golding was adored by many in her portrayal of junior JAG officer Lieutenant Tali Mayfield, so there was little doubt that she would have trouble finding projects after leaving JAG.
She continued gaining more acting credits through her work on TV shows like Day Break, where she played Detective Brett Hopper’s sister Jennifer Mathis and Dark Blue, where she portrayed the part of Melissa Curtis. Golding also took on the roles of resistance cell member Noa on Colony, of Counter-Terrorism Division Agent Jordan Todd on Criminal Minds, and Warrick Brown’s ex-wife Tina Brewster on CSI.
PATRICK ST. ESPRIT
Actor and stuntman Patrick St. Esprit may not be remembered for his role on the show as Colonel Bootney, but he is better known for his other acting credits, though.
You may have seen him in recent blockbuster films like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Fate of the Furious, where he portrayed the roles of District 12’s Head Peacekeeper Romulus Thread and DS Allan respectively. He also appeared on other TV programs, like Ballers as the Dallas Cowboys’ general manager, Narcos as Marine officer Colonel Lou Wysession, and Sons of Anarchy as a successful entrepreneur and ranch owner Elliott Oswald.
JOHN PROSKY
Actor John Prosky appeared on the show as Reverend John Haynes, Reynolds’ attorney, Stewart Grossman, and Jon Barrow. However, he only started gaining recognition when he appeared on four episodes of the HBO supernatural thriller series True Blood as Republican Congressman David Finch, who was firmly against the Vampire Rights Amendment and vampire equality.
You can also find Prosky on ten episodes of the supernatural drama Medium, portraying his part as the smug and brash cancer-stricken former district attorney Tom Van Dyke. He also appeared in four episodes of the political drama program Scandal as Senator Stanley Gibson.
MARK COSTELLO
Many actors on this list credit the show for serving as their jumping point to their respective careers in the showbiz industry, but Mark Costello, the actor behind Navy Commander Onclay, already had an impressive resume to boast. His career continued to soar with performances on TV programs, like Criminal Minds, where he portrayed the burglar Gary, Everybody Hates Chris, where he was cast as Mr. Richards and The West Wing, where he appeared as a guest.
Costello also appeared on six episodes of the soap opera General Hospital, where he took on the role of a juror.
BILL COBBS
The character of Commander Sturgis Turner’s father, Captain Matthew Turner, may have left show quite early, but Bill Cobbs, the actor who takes credit for portraying the role, continued to perform for other TV programs.
He managed to make several cameos on other TV shows, like the sitcom The Drew Carey Show, where he appeared as Tony the Bus Driver. If you are a fan of the family movies Night at the Museum and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, which both stars Ben Stiller, you may also find Cobbs in them in the role of comic-relief henchman Reginald.
