Scottie Thompson

Beginning her entertainment career as a dancer, Scottie Thompson ultimately decided to hang up her ballet shoes to pursue acting. That led her to land minor TV roles before being cast as Jeannie Benoit on “NCIS,” playing the character for over a decade from 2006 to 2016.

TV viewers might also remember Thompson from her time on the Syfy series “12 Monkey”, where she played a time traveler named Vivian Rutledge. Of course, her body of work also includes several big-screen productions, including the 2021 thriller film “Murder At Emigrant Gulch.”
