Cote De Pablo: Net Worth, Age, Height & Everything You Need To Know About The NCIS Actress (2024)

Cote de Pablo is best known for her performance on NCIS, and since that role, people have been curious about the actor's net worth, height, and everything else. The Chilean-born actress first began appearing in movies and TV shows in 2000 with a one-episode character Fiona in the drama series The $treet. Before that, she served as a co-host on the Latin-American magazine show Control from 1994-1995. Roles in TV series such as The Education of Max Bickford and The Jury gave way to her breakout as Ziva David in NCIS in 2005.

Despite Cote de Pablo coming into NCIS in season 3 and departing for six years after season 11, Ziva is considered one of the main cast members of the series and a critical part of what's made the show so successful. Ziva and her malapropisms have endeared her to the NCIS team and fans alike. She's so well-liked that Ziva is receiving an NCIS spinoff. Cote de Pablo has a fairly private personal life, with her only known relationship being with Ecuadorian actor Diego Serrano, which ended in 2015 (via Caras).

Cote De Pablo's Net Worth

Cote De Pablo Earned $120,000 Per NCIS Episode After Season 9

According to Deadline, Cote de Pablo earned what they referred to as a "significant" pay bump after season 9 to $120,000/episode, which put her on par with Pauley Perrette, who plays Abby Sciuto, one of the longest-running characters in the series. Her net worth is said to be around $6 million (via Celebrity Net Worth), and a large amount of that is likely from her NCIS tenure. She appeared in 32 episodes after season 9, meaning she earned upwards of $3.8 million from the series, and that's not including any cash bonuses.

Also adding to her net worth are the other roles she's had while also playing Ziva. De Pablo has a supporting role in the Canadian Western The Last Rites of Ransom Pride as Bruja, has a supporting role in the disaster film The 33 as Jessica Vega, and stars in the CBS two-part miniseries The Dovekeepers as Shirah, based on the historical novel of the same name.

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. Special Agent Alden Parker, a quirky former FBI agent who solves his cases with calm professionalism and sharp, sarcastic charm, leads the NCIS team, which includes NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate with a knack for computers who has now graduated to senior field agent; the charismatic, unpredictable and resilient NCIS Special Agent Nicholas “Nick” Torres, who has spent most of his career on solo undercover assignments; and sharp, athletic and tough NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight, a formidable REACT agent who specializes in hostage negotiations and high-risk operations. The naïve Jimmy Palmer is assisting the team, who graduated from assistant to fully licensed medical examiner and now runs the morgue; and forensic scientist Kasie Hines, Ducky’s former graduate assistant. Overseeing operations is NCIS Director Leon Vance, an intelligent, highly trained agent who can always be counted on to shake up the status quo. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.
