Along with NCIS, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney continuing their runs on CBS, 2025 also delivered the Paramount+ subscription-exclusive spinoff NCIS: Tony & Ziva. Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reprised their NCIS roles and executive produced the show, though it ended up being cancelled. Still, given the romantic nature of the first season, and some steamy scenes, I was surprised to learn the two leads had declined using an intimacy coordinator. With this being such a popular topic in Hollywood, I had to ask the actress to elaborate!
Just this month alone, we've read The Housemaid's intimacy coordinator sharing why filming sex is like "stunt scenes," as well Heated Rivalry's intimacy coordinator passing along advice on what actors should do when they get aroused. Regarding NCIS: Tony & Ziva, I asked its leading actors during the show's junket if it was challenging at all figuring out these steamy scenes.
