Katrina Law’s Daughter Making ‘NCIS’ Debut in ‘Speechless’
Katrina Law’s 7-year-old daughter, Kinley Andreen, makes her acting debut as Chloe Sims in an episode of “NCIS” titled “Speechless.” Law said her co-stars helped Kinley feel comfortable as she filmed her first on-camera role, after a formal audition and network approval.
Katrina Law’s daughter, 7-year-old Kinley Andreen, makes her acting debut as Chloe Sims in an “NCIS” episode airing November 10, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET.
The episode, titled “Speechless,” puts Kinley in the story of a young girl found in an abandoned apartment after her mother is reported missing. Chloe has hidden talents that may help the team find the woman.
Law said Kinley had spent years visiting the set before asking to appear on the show. “Kinley has been coming to set with me for the past four years, so she is a set baby,” Law said. “One day she walked up to [NCIS writer] Scott Williams, and she said, ‘I want to be on the show.’”
A formal audition and a first role
The request led to an audition rather than an automatic part. Kinley recorded an audition, which was approved by the network and casting producers, Law said.
“We had her do the proper audition, go through all of the paces,” Law said. “She recorded her audition, sent it in. It got approved by the network, by casting producers, and she did great.”
Much of Kinley’s work was alongside Gary Cole and Brian Dietzen. Law said the family rehearsed lines at home, but her daughter was starstruck when she had to deliver them with the actors during rehearsal.
“And then the first time during rehearsal, she would have to say the lines with them, and she was fangirling,” Law said. “It was really cute!”
Cast helps Kinley settle in
Law praised the cast and crew for looking after Kinley during her first acting experience. She said the child already knew the people on set and felt welcomed by them.
“Because Kinley knows them so well, they have literally adopted her as their own daughter, the entire cast and crew,” Law said. “There’s not a single person on this show that wouldn’t just take her under their wing and just make sure she was okay.”
Law also described moving between being Kinley’s mother, acting coach and scene partner as they worked through the episode. She said watching her daughter improve over the course of filming was especially meaningful.
“It was such a beautiful thing to be able to flow back and forth between mom and actor and acting coach, and just be able to see Kinley grow in this process,” Law said.
