Katrina Law, best known for portraying Jessica Knight on NCIS, recently unveiled a bold transformation, showcasing vibrant hot pink locks on Instagram. In solidarity with the ongoing actors’ strike, she sported a ‘SAG-AFTRA’ shirt and expressed, “Mid-strike hair, don’t care!”
Amid the hiatus in the filming of NCIS Season 21 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Katrina’s fans, including co-star Brian Dietzen (Dr. Jimmy Palmer), enthusiastically applauded the change. Dietzen commented, “Hell yeah!” and fans joined in with positive remarks, describing the transformation as “stunning” and “amazing.” Alex Tarrant from the NCIS: Hawai’i spin-off also joined the conversation, asking if it was “end of strike hair?” with crossed fingers emojis.
Katrina’s bold move comes as the filming of NCIS Season 21 remains on hold due to the ongoing strike. While the writing team resumed work in October, the actors are yet to return to the set. Ongoing negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have reported positive discussions over the weekend. The timeline for the show’s return hinges on the resolution of the strike.
Although the release date for NCIS Season 21 on CBS is unannounced, the conclusion of the WGA strike and the return of writers might see scripted dramas back on screens by mid-March. However, the exact timeline depends on the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike. The cast of NCIS, including Katrina, actively supports the strike, participating in picket lines and advocating for fair deals and shared benefits in the entertainment industry.
