He attended the carpet along with his wife Robyn Lively and shared some insight into how they met. Bart expressed: “The very first show we did together, we never spoke. We had one line together. We did like seven episodes together, we never said a single line. “Robyn revealed what was so special about working on the NCIS set that set it apart from any other project that he has done. He stated: “Honestly, there are some shows that you work on and you’re like, ‘Okay… this has been whatever.’ [On NCIS] the cast and the crew were so… just everyone was so kind and welcoming and creative and part of it, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had.”The actor expressed that when he first arrived in California, he didn’t know anyone, however, Pam changed that. He recalled: “[Mark’s] wife Pam Dawber got me my manager… It’s the only phone number I had when I came to Hollywood, was Pam Dawber, and she got me one meeting with this manager, Terrance Hines, and that started my whole career. So, love those guys. We owe them.”
