Here's What Lauren Holly From NCIS Is Doing Now

In 2008, Lauren Holly not only left California, but she decided to leave the United States altogether as she moved to Canada full-time after becoming a Canadian citizen. The actor sought a respite from the industry. "It's exhausting to try and stay in the popular group and at the end of the day it's not what matters," she told Page Six in 2020.

Holly joined another police procedural when she nabbed the role of Dr. Betty Rogers on the Canadian series "Motive" in 2013. The hook for that show was that viewers were given the information about the killer, while the detective team was still in the dark with the case, per the Times Colonist. Holly saw a lot of herself in the role, and felt the part was a perfect fit. "I couldn't really ask for a better role at this stage of my life," she told Times Colonist in 2013, likening the job to an earlier high point in her career. "This show mirrors the experience I had on another show — 'Picket Fences,'" Holly added. Nice!

The "Down Periscope" star did not completely abandon movie roles either. Holly appeared in 2015's "The Blackcoat's Daughter," starring Emma Roberts, per IMDB, and starred in the Hallmark movie "My Summer Prince" in 2016. "Hallmark is definitely a favorite of my fans," she told Smashing Interviews at the time. "I definitely have a huge fanbase that watch a lot of Hallmark movies..."
