But, it looks like having almost a year off was enough of a break for Perrette, and Broke! signals the first project that she’s signed on for since leaving NCIS.
We don’t know why she was attracted to the sitcom yet, but part of it might just be the chance to do a comedy and deal with lighter fare on a weekly basis.
Considering how difficult she alleged some of her time on NCIS to be, it wouldn’t be surprising if Perrette decided to take a long break from acting, with her father even revealing that that was exactly what he suggested she do.
Abby was able to leave the show with her head held high after giving fans, and other characters, quite a scare, and it’s probably a good bet that Pauley Perrette is glad to have that chapter of her life and career behind her.
