When I first saw her on Stranger Things I immediately remembered her from NCIS. Her performance made her one of my two favorite guest stars - the other is Charles Durning. Learning MBB's character is a psychopath is a dark twist that might have been only an OKish ending but MBB's portrayal made it hit really hard.
Pam Dawber, Mark Harmon’s real life wife, appeared in several episodes. Their son played A younger Gibbs in several flashback scenes. Then there were all the former Star Trek actors who made appearances, including Jeri Ryan, Marina Sirtis, Tim Russ, and Connor Trinnear.

One of the best reoccurring roles on NCIS is of Agent Ned Dorneget, played by Matt Jones, who would appear on Breaking Bad , Mom, and other movies and shows. Another great reoccurring character is FBI Agent Tobias TC Fornell, played by Joe Spano.
NCIS was enriched by its stellar line up of outstanding guest stars. Gina Rowlands as Joann Fielding, Gibbs' mother-in law, was wonderful. So were the other guest stars mentioned in this thread. And Muse Watson as Mike Franks played perfeclty against Mark Harmon's Leory Jethro Gibbs. But my absolute favorite was Charles Durning as the WWII vet with delayed PTSD. I also enjoyed Drew Carey's guest turn. Factoid: I worked with Drew during his pre-fame restaurant days in Cleveland. Really a great guy!
Marina Sirtis as the head of Mosad?
Others I can think of: Alex Kingston, Pam Dawbar, Dew Carey, Jerri Ryan, Robert Wagner, Sean Astin

I was expecting Sean Astin to have a spot on the list, along with Misha Collins getting an honorable mention.
Abigail Breslin slayed her part. She was amazing! And the episode with Charles Durning never fails to make me cry.

I tell you the episode mentioned at #5 is one of my favorites. Not just because of the star mentioned, but it mixed drama and humor ever so perfectly in that episode
Charles Durning was wonderful. NCIS has been on too long to only have a singular top ten episode. Parts 2 and maybe 3 next?

Always amusing when the title is "you forgot were on" yet we get "fans remember fondly" in the video. That said, having Firefly clips makes up for it. Some you missed: Jeri Ryan - known for Trek and Leverage was Gibbs' second ex-wife. Charles Durning - played a WWII Medal of Honor recipient with survivor's guilt Terry O'Quinn - old friend of Gibbs who is hallucinating Mike Farrell - of MASH fame played a judge who was doing the Star Chamber Hal Holbrook - season 4's 'Escaped' French Stewart - played a convicted serial killer in two episodes Glen Powell - played a marine with PTSD 10 years before he was in Top Gun Maverick Adam Baldwin - played the commander of a special forces team Danica McKellar - of The Wonder Years played a murder witness who gets close to McGee Kelly Hu - played a North Korean assassin in a crossover with the LA spinoff Lance Hendrickson - our favorite 'artificial person' from Aliens played a sheriff in season 6 SXSW Cherlyl Ladd - played a girlfriend of Ducky until she turned out to be a serial killer.
So many of these guest stars were and are so fantasticly talented. For me their portrayals were so amazing and intense I lost the actors saw only the characters! Fantastic job.
What about Charles Durning in the Season 2 Episode Call of Silence? He was nominated for an Emmy for the role as Cpl Ernie Yost, USMC WWII veteran and MOH recipient for his actions on Iwo Jima.
i was hoping Drew Carey would be on the list
There was this one episode that there was a girl who was hiding secrets in paintings. An episode which brought sharp-shooting Ziva perfectly in action.
Should do one of these for CSI and its various spin-offs if they haven’t already. Appearances have included the likes of: -Michael B. Jordan -Jeremy Renner -Idris Elba -John Krasinski To name but a few.
Happy thursday afternoon, Phoebe, and what a great top this was. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

The real life director of NCIS, Omar Lopez, has an uncredited cameo about 12 minutes into that episode
Finally one of NCIS.
Michelle Obama, Jon Cryer, Terry O'Quinn, Sean Astin and many more
With Abigail Breslin u should have also mention David Keith.
Also there has been one actor from NCIS that went on to star in a few seasons of shameless which is Kate who appears as a professor that lip begins sleeping with while attending college
David Ramsey (Diggle from Arrow) was also in an early episode of NCIS as an Agent Afloat
Should do something similar for house- lots of amazing guest stars too
Ki Hong Lee from the Maze Runner episode bulletproof
What about Glen Powell or Misha Collins? Scott Wolf is another great one too.
I loved Tyler RItter as Abby's brother Luca. He is so much like his father, John RItter. If you closed your eyes you would think it was John talking. THe other would be French Stewart as serial killer/furrier Paul Triff.
You missed Bob Newhart!
Ravi Kapoor - "Bug" on Crossing Jordan. Also, Steve Valentine - Nigel on Crossing Jordan.
I'm so happy to finally see a top dedicated to NCIS 🤩🤩🤩
I remember Zac Efron being on NCIS. I remember watching that episode when it came on and thinking Zac was cute. And then seeing him in HSM a few days later.
Of them all I would've liked to see Abigail Breslin make a return, I would really like to see Sandy all grown up.
How did ya not mention the biggest and the most important one? Troian Bellisario guest starred in this show and so did Max Alder.
Did I just see Sean Astin at the tail end of this video? You probably should have mentioned him honorably.
Jessica Steen as Paula Cassidy. Rena Softer as Margaret Allison Hart. Diane Neal as Abby Borin.David
NCIS used to be so good. I miss when it was worth watching.
Millie Bobby Brown and Charles Durning were my two favorite guest stars of the entire series. And Durning won an Emmy for his performance! When MBB's character turned into her true psychopath persona at the end it was startling and even bit frightening.
Susanna Thompson as Lt. Col. Hollis Mann. Diane Neal as CGIS Agent Abigail Borin. Eli David, Massad Director and Ziva's dad. Tamara Taylor as Agent Cassie Yates. Liza Lapira as Agent Michelle Lee.
There was Also Erin Cahill who was Jen The Pink Ranger In Power Rangers Time Force

I’m very glad that you know what I’ve forgotten MsMojo
I remember Jamie Lee- Curtis being a regular guest star. I also believe David Deluse was on one episode.
In case he hasn't already been mentioned, Taye Diggs played a former Marine sniper suffering from PTSD. Excellent episode
I think the best guest star on NCIS will have to go to Scott Wolf of party of 5 fame. His few episodes were amazing.
Dude....DiNozzo Senior should be in the list 😁
Disappointed Pam Dawber (Mark Harmon's real-life wife) wasn't on this list.
Gena Rowlands as Shannon’s mother
William devane as the secret agents from the 60's and 70's.
What about Christopher Lloyd who gave an incredible performance?
Robert Wagner
Christopher Lloyd was the best guest star. What a preformance!
Millie Bobby Brown probably gave the most chilling peformance. but there are two other potential lists - Recurring characters such as Delilah (my favourite) Mann, Borin, thosee you wish had more appearences, (too many to list here) and simply powerful/memorable appearences, Millie Bobby Brown and Christopher Lloyd would top that list.
What about Diane Neal as Agent Bourne? Or Danica McKellar in season 2 of NCIS as a Magee crush and witness?
When Badger from breaking bad came on i was howling...he went from NCIS agent to drug dealer...depth hahaha
HOW DID I NOT NOTICE CAM 😮😮😮😮
Before Pam was on, Jamie was my favorite guest star. I also think it's interesting that two guys who have played doctors were terrorists on the show. Before he was on Chicago Med, Dominic Rains played the guy that killed Special Agent Paula Cassidy; and after he was on Bones, Pej Vahdat played the guy that kidnapped Director Vance.
If you look at the guest star list for season 1, its pretty much half the cast of Lost, a year before that show started.
You forgot Patricia Richardson, Richard Linebacker, Glen Powell and more.
Annie Wersching guested on an episode shortly after her 24 stint ended.
Was amazing is same video tv show BONES
Millie definitely deserves the credits! That twist ending gave me chills!
While Robert Wagner is my favorite, Christopher Lloyd is my most memorable. The whole episode is moving.
You forgot that also in S2, E1 David Keith played Breslin's dirt bag father
Chiesa sheca best friends ever 1:29
