Julie Ann Emery

I am beyond critical of my own work. I always tell actors they have to watch themselves 4-7 times in a given scene before they can be remotely objective.

I would prefer to direct without also starring in the same project.

There can be a lot of waiting around on any film set.

I love great writing. I like interesting characters. I like to work with people who push me to be better, to elevate my game.

It's true: I married my college sweetheart. We were so lucky to find each other at such a young age.

I feel like the 'NCIS' set is where people are allowed to be the nice human beings they really are. That quality is valued there.
