Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Christina Elizabeth Smith on joining the cast of NCIS: New Orleans this season; bonding with series star Scott Bakula over their common backgrounds in comedy and musical theatre; the calming influence Geena Davis exuded when Christina worked with her on Grey’s Anatomy; and what led Christina to write Pretext, a dramatic short that she also produced and stars in. NCIS: New Orleans airs Tuesdays 10pm ET/PT on CBS
