She is best known for her role in the television series NCIS from 2003 to 2018.

She is also a published author, guitarist, and civil rights campaigner.

Early life

Perrette was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and raised throughout the southern United States. She lived in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, New Jersey, and California. Perrette confessed early in a 2011 interview with the Associated Press that she aspired to be a rock and roll actress, be a musician, or be an FBI agent.

Perrette attended Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia, where she studied criminal justice, and later moved to New York City to study at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. "Not only was I bartending in the club kids sport, with a bra and combat boots, and a white Mohawk, but also wore a sandwich board on roller skates passing out flyers for Taco Bell in the Diamond District." Perrette has also worked as a cook on a Manhattan dinner cruise boat.

Personal life

Perrette married Canadian actor and singer Coyote Shivers in 2000; the couple separated four years later, with their divorce becoming final in 2006. She was given restraining orders against him, alleging that he subjected her to physical, emotional, and sexual assault during and after her marriage.

Perrette joined America's Most Wanted in February 2004 to present Prattville, Alabama, with a check for $10,000, which would be used to supplement the reward offer for information leading to the detention of Shannon Paulk. Paulk was born in Prattville, Alabama, where Perrette had lived as a child. In 2007, Perrette paid $10,000 to Detroit law enforcement for information regarding Raven Jeffries' disappearance/murder, a seven-year-old Detroit girl. (Perrette's then-partner was from Detroit.) On September 8, 2007, on Fox, the story first aired on America's Most Wanted. Lisa Williamson, who was killed in 2007 after her Detroit home was set on fire in 2007, has also requested their assistance in finding the person(s) who murdered her friend, Lisa Williamson, who was killed in 2007. Perrette appeared on America's Most Wanted in 2009, interviewing Tammy Vincent.

Perrette supports a variety of charities, including animal rescue groups, the American Red Cross, civil rights organizations, and LGBT rights charities. Perrette wrote a public letter in fall 2008 urging voters against Proportion 8. She is a member of the Hollywood United Methodist Church.

Before her marriage, she dated photographer Michael Bosman for four years; however, the two did not marry, stating that they would wait until everyone can get married in the United States. They then applied for all of the civil rights that are available to same-sex couples. In California, Bosman did not propose a same-sex marriage until the state recognition of same-sex marriage in June 2008. The couple ran very public against the 2008 California Protest 8. Perrette and Bosman split, and she revealed her admiration for former British Royal Marine Thomas Arklie in December 2011. She had already stated that the couple would not marry until Prosecutors' decision.

Perrette, a natural blonde, was hospitalized in 2014 after suffering "a severe allergic reaction to her [character's] trademark ink-black [hair] color." Her face swollen to twice its length, according to CBS News in Los Angeles, "anyone out there [who] dyes their hair, especially black], you should be aware of the signs."

Perrette was assaulted by a homeless man outside her Hollywood Hills home on November 12, 2015. David Merck, 45, was arrested and charged with assault charges on suspicion of making criminal threats and assault. Perrette told Entertainment Tonight that she does not blame her attacker nor does she have a negative opinion about him.

Perrette, a Perrette co-owned Donna Bell's Bake Shop, named for her mother in Manhattan, New York City, is located in Manhattan, New York City. After nearly ten years of operation, the store closed in December 2020.

Perrette, 24, regretted her leave NCIS on June 7, 2019 due to an on-set dog-biting attack and multiple physical assaults. She also expressed her dissatisfaction with her co-star Mark Harmon's death.

Perrette revealed in September 2022 that she had suffered a stroke in September 2021.

Career

Perrette has worked in television and film, mainly in television and film, mainly doing commercials, voice-overs, music videos, and short films. She was a bartender in New York City. She was introduced by a friend to an advertising agency director while doing odd jobs in New York. This led to her move to Los Angeles, where she appeared on a number of bit parts and performed several times as a guest star. During season four (in the episode "Three Dates and a Break Up"), she appeared as a waitress at Cafe Nervosa, and she appeared as a waitress in season one of 24. She has appeared in many films, including The Ring and Almost Famous.

Alice Cramer, Unit's public relations officer, appeared in 2001 as a recurring character introduced in season two of Special Unit 2. In NCIS, a television series based on the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, she landed her most notable position, that of Abby Sciuto, an eccentric forensic scientist, in an exclusive role. Perrette's first appearances as the character appeared in two JAG episodes in spring 2003; these served as a backdoor pilot and introduced the characters. She has appeared in two NCIS: Los Angeles episodes in 2009, as well as in two episodes of NCIS: New Orleans in 2014 and 2016.

The character Abby Sciuto was created by Donald P. Bellisario, who "wanted to create... a character that was obviously an 'alternafreak,' while still portraying her as the most mature and intelligent individual on television. "Not a junkie, killer, loser, or television stereotype," the author says. Perrette added some of her own "contributions" to the story and interviewed Clint Catalyst, the "author of Cottonmouth Kisses [who is] often brought in as a guest on television shows when they are doing pieces on goth or alternative culture. "Clint and I and our 3,000 closest friends all play together," Perrette said, "We've never sat around and tagged each other." Sure, there are nights when a particular event leans more towards one style than the other, but it is not like a turf war with gang colors." Perrette has been asked if she is goth or punk, her reply is "Who cares?" like her character. Abby is therefore, "not the type of person to seek out a name"; she told her employers that her reputation is not the sort to seek out a name; rather, she says she is "Abby"; "She represents a smart, competent chick that cannot be reduced to a stereotype." Perrette would be leaving the series at the end of the 15th season, according to TV Guide on October 4, 2017.

Perrette is a poet writer (her short story "Cheers" appears in the anthology Pills, Thrills, Chills, and Heartache: Adventures in the First Person). In 2007, she began a film about US civil rights advocate and author Mark Lane. Citizen Lane was completed in 2013.

Perrette, the show's host, Craig Ferguson, claimed she has suffered with a lifelong addiction to crime for as long as I can remember. She was an undergrad student in sociology, psychology, and criminal science. She obtained her master's degree in criminal justice before embarking on to a career in film.

Perrette was ranked in the top three together with Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman in the January/February 2010 Performer Q Score. She was also the only woman to make the top ten. In late 2010, Perrette first appeared in television commercials for Expedia.com. On season four, episode six of RuPaul's Drag Race, she made a guest appearance as a judge. Her Q Score was 44 in winter 2018, giving her the highest rating among all current female television actors.

In the CBS sitcom Broke, Perrette played Jackie, the lead role. After one season, Broke was scrapped in May 2020. Perrette resigned from acting on July 7, 2020.
