NCIS: Hawai'i star Tori Anderson explains what sets this spinoff apart from the other shows

 


"Everyone should see themselves represented on screen."

NCIS: Hawai'i star Tori Anderson has explained what sets this spinoff apart from the other shows in the franchise.

Anderson has made history for the franchise as her character Special Agent Kate Whistler's queer relationship with field agent Lucy Tara (Yasmine Al-Bustami) is at the very centre of the procedural drama.

In a recent chat with CinemaBlend, Tori explained how "exciting" it is to be representing a queer relationship on one of US TV's biggest dramas.

"I think it's so important that you see queer characters taking up the same space and airtime as heterosexual relationships," she said. "And this really is the one relationship that you see from the first episode until the very end, and that you'll see through Season 2 as well.

"So I think it's really exciting and it's essential to represent the world as we see it. And everyone should see themselves represented on screen and the success of it speaks to why diversity is so important, and why continuing to showcase these storylines is so prevalent."

The actress also spoke about the "monumental" importance of having Vanessa Lachey anchoring the series as a POC.

"I was so excited about that, and I was really excited that there was a queer NCIS agent as one of the leads on the show as well," she said.

"So I think it was monumental, and I think it's very successful. Vanessa brings such a different lead to the show, and how she approaches the character of Jane with kindness, with heart, being a mother and how a woman would approach it versus a man. And I think she just does a remarkable job."
