When all the girls were getting all made up and getting into all that girl stuff in junior high I was out playing softball or touch football with the guys.

I’m a firm believer in doing things that scare you.

People think I’m crazy and reckless but I’m absolutely not… I’m soooo safe and soooo careful and I won’t do anything that feels like I could break something.

When I do get time, I like to hike and I take lots of vitamins and powders to keep healthy.

Almost every Marine I’ve met says I portray a Marine dead-on, which is really, really flattering.

But, people are recognizing me more. Sometimes fans just approach me on the street and say how much they love the show. It’s great to get that kind of feedback.

I like all the adventure sports but I like to do them in a safe way.

The main prank that we play with props is for people’s birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face – that’s always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who’s new.

JAG is an acronym for the Judge Advocate General, which is the judicial system of the military.

Not as much as I used to, but I use the Internet for everything. I use it for information. Like if I’m planning a trip or something, I’ll check out the place I’m going to.
Catherine Bell
I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that.
Catherine Bell
I understand men much better than most women I know.

Probably right at the end of JAG, I would love to have a child or two. I ultimately want to have two kids.

Sometimes you work all the way through to 5am, then get a few hours and you’re back on set again.

The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That’s still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.
