Cote de Pablo's television credits include "The Education of Max Bickford," on CBS, "The Jury," "The $treet," "When I Grow Up" and "All My Children." She was the host of the Latin-themed talk show "Control." de Pablo also starred as Delores in the stage version of "The Mambo Kings" and in "Measure for Measure" at the Delacorte Theatre through the Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park program in New York. She plays the role of Ziva David in the CBS series NCIS. Officer Ziva David is a Mossad agent assigned to Gibbs' team by Director Shephard after she assisted NCIS in locating and terminating a rogue Mossad agent (Ari Haswari, her half-brother). David is an aggressive and fast driver and speaks five languages, which often leads to malapropisms and funny mistaken clichés. On several occasions, however, she has been shown to be a capable member of the team especially in combat situations due to her vast experience in the Mossad. She has a pithy sense of humor and is particularly good at getting under DiNozzo's skin.
