JAG Stars
Yes, we all miss JAG terribly, but at least we got to enjoy creator Donald Bellisario’s incredible show for 10 whole seasons. Then came the spin-off NCIS, but we’re here to talk about JAG and our favorite characters like Mac and Harm. From 1995 until 2005, we got to watch David James Elliott, Catherine Bell, Tracey Needham and so many other stars on the show. Now, it’s time to reminisce and catch up with Catherine Bell and the rest of the JAG cast!
David James Elliott
Naturally, we need to start with the amazing David James Elliott. After playing Captain Harmon Rabb Jr., or better known as Harm, this star had no trouble finding work! Right after JAG, he acted in the Canadian TV movie called The Man Who Lost Himself. Guess who else was in the film? Oh, just his former JAG costar and wife, Nanci Chamber, but we’ll get to her. Anyway, Elliott also acted in the shows The Guard, CSI and Close To Home. Also, he was John Wayne in Trumbo.

Patrick Labyorteaux
Now, we need to catch you up on Captain Bud J Roberts, Jr., played by Patrick! Although, you probably haven’t seen much of Patrick Labyorteaux since JAG, he’s been very active in the entertainment industry. Turns out, he’s focused mostly on voice work for cartoons like, Spider-Man: The Animated Series. He and his wife, Tina Albanese, created and produced the Nick at Nite show called, See Dad. Luckily, he did revive the role of Bud for NCIS twice!
