Gore Verbinski’s hit 2002 thriller The Ring helped solidify the careers of many actors. That’s a good thing, since videotapes are now basically obsolete and images on the videotape look like Luis Buñuel’s avant-garde classic short film Un Chien Andalou (1929)—only not as intense. It scared a lot of people, made a lot of money, and spawned a sequel. And really, isn’t that what counts?

America has spoken: NCIS is the number one scripted show, and has been for years. Snakkle thought you’d like to take a trip down memory lane and see your fave cast members before they were stars!

After the tenth season wrapped in May, the mega-hit procedural NCIS following the lives and cases of a team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service major case responders is due to return September 24, 2013. Snakkle performed their own investigation to find out where the stars of NCIS were stationed before they landed on America’s favorite show.
