Purpose
When Pauley Perrette was cast for the role of our dear Abby Sciuto back in 2003, there was real meaning behind Abby’s character. Well strictly her character’s creation and the purpose of her character, Perrette said, “[NCIS creator] Don Bellisario told me that when he created Magnum, P.I. he wanted to introduce a Vietnam vet who defied the negative stereotype. So with Abby, he wanted to take an alternative-style person with tattoos and make her someone who is happy, totally put together and successful. All the script said about her was: black hair, caffeinated and smart…She’s completely unaware that anybody thinks she looks weird. She thinks she looks pretty and never calls herself anything other than happy. And I fight for that.”
Purpose
My Name Is…
Donald P. Bellisario really did keep it in the family! He actually named the character Leroy Jethro after two family members. See, his brother’s name is Leroy while his father’s middle name is Jethro.
