Did Cote de Pablo get injured on NCIS?

The Ziva David actress got a number of injuries from doing her own stunts on NCIS.

Notably, she injured her neck doing a show stunt around 2012.

She told Prevention in February 2012: “I only just went back to exercising because I injured my neck, working on the show.

“It was a very simple stunt. I had to say one line, turn around, and then there would be explosions, gunshots, all sorts of things.

“But we had never rehearsed it, so I had no idea what it was going to be like.

“When the stunt started, I was trying to scream my line, because of course as an actor, you’re like, ‘Remember your lines–you only have one pass at this, ‘cause they can’t re-create the entire explosion!’

“But it was like being in the middle of a war zone.

“We were supposed to be in a big restaurant kitchen, and I was being hit by flying cabbage–I still have the bruises on my legs.

“I woke up in horrible neck pain. My mother always used to say, ‘You don’t think about your teeth until you have a cavity’.

“It was the same thing with my neck. But it’s 100 percent better now. Because of that injury I’m going back to yoga.”

However, this was not the first time Cote had an injury while filming NCIS.

NCIS writer Jesse Stern wrote on Twitter in 2013: “I hurt Cote de Pablo on at least two occasions.

“Hit her in the face with a gun barrel in Cloak [season six, episode eight] and shrapnel in Enemies Foreign [season eight, episode eight. She’s tough.”

The main NCIS series is not the only one in the franchise to have seen injuries on set.

In 2013, a cameraman for NCIS: Los Angeles was seriously injured according to Deadline after being: “Pinned against something.”

NCIS fans may see Cote de Pablo take on a series of new stunts when she returns as Ziva in the premiere episode of season 17.
