Q: What else can you tell me about Rocky Carroll, who plays Leon Vance on "NCIS"?
I can tell you he's a classically trained actor who was nominated for a Tony Award for best actor before anyone had even heard of him on TV. I can tell you that he and Mark Harmon go back much further than their 12 years together on "NCIS." And I can tell you that his real name isn't Rocky.

Q: Who was that playing Helen in the big "Troy" movie from a few years ago? I don't think I know her from anything else.

That is the famous description of Helen of Troy, one of the great beauties of history. The role went to German actress Diane Kruger, who was a complete unknown at the time -- and that's exactly why Petersen wanted her.
