NCIS star Gary Cole, known for his role as Agent Alden Parker, supported a non-profit cause almost two decades ago. He looked quite different in a 2006 photo, clean-shaven with glasses, as he spoke at an event for The Help Group, an organization aiding young people with autism and learning disabilities.
Cole is passionate about this cause because his daughter has autism. He continues to advocate for similar causes today while also appearing in the latest NCIS episodes. The start date for season 21 is uncertain due to ongoing strikes in the US.
