Early in her career, Tori Anderson, a Hawaiian actress, had an unrecognizable appearance in Smallville. She began as a DIA agent in a CBS drama before becoming an FBI liaison in NCIS. Known for her role as Kate Whistler, she’s also part of the popular duo with Lucy Tera Yasmine Albustamy in a police procedural. The series finale saw Whistler and Jame Tenant in Venezuela, saved by Agent Sam Hannah LL Cool G. Anderson, who started in a Twilight Zone episode in 2003, later starred in Smallville. In NCIS, she portrayed Rebecca, distinct from Whistler, with a serious demeanor. Despite the anticipation for the third season, The Island state drama faces a delay due to ongoing strikes, now set to return in spring 2024.
