Cote de Pablo once caught the audience completely off guard.

Unexpected surprises in television shows are always welcomed by fans. How many NCIS surprises do you remember?

At the very least, a few. Today we’re going to talk about a huge surprise Ziva sprung on viewers.

A Reddit user noticed something interesting in the first episode of NCIS season 6. Ziva begins by singing her heart out, and she absolutely nails it.

In this scene, she sings Diana Krall’s Temptation. The fan couldn’t help but notice how amazing she sounded.

Cote de Pablo, it turns out, is not only a great actress, but also a talented singer.

Cote de Pablo was known to viewers for many years as an actress who brought enormous depth and strength to the character of Ziva. Her surprise singing performance, on the other hand, revealed a completely new side of her talent, leaving fans speechless.

Cote de Pablo was about to appear in the musical stage play The Mambo Kings in 2005.

However, de Pablo’s anticipated Broadway debut as Dolores Fuentes in The Mambo Kings was cut short after a brief trial run in San Francisco.

While she waited for The Mambo Kings to make a move, de Pablo decided to send in a video audition for a role on NCIS.

The Mambo Kings were canceled two days later, but de Pablo was invited to a screen test in Los Angeles.

So, if The Mambo Kings had been successful, we would have lost one of the show’s most beloved characters.

It’s unfortunate, but we don’t get to hear de Pablo’s singing abilities very often. She doesn’t have many songs available, which is a shame.

Cote de Pablo appeared in the 2015 film The 33, directed by Patricia Riggen. She even contributed her voice to the soundtrack.

Her rendition of Gracias A La Vida is a work of art. It’s a shame de Pablo doesn’t get the credit she deserves as a singer.
