Some NCIS stars share more than just screen time—they’re actually related in real life! While fans may not have noticed, a few cast members have surprising family ties that make their roles even more special.
One well-known connection is Sean Murray, who plays Timothy McGee, and his real-life stepfather, Donald P. Bellisario—the creator of NCIS! This family link helped Murray land his role, and he has since become a fan-favorite character. Another hidden connection is Troian Bellisario, who guest-starred as McGee’s sister, Sarah. She’s also Bellisario’s daughter, making her Sean Murray’s stepsister in real life!
These behind-the-scenes family ties add an interesting layer to the NCIS universe. With such close connections, it’s no wonder the chemistry on-screen feels so authentic. Fans might wonder if any other NCIS actors have undisclosed family links—after all, Hollywood is full of surprises!
