Daniela Ruah played Kensi Blye on a crossover with Hawaii Five-0
In Season 2, Episode 6 ("Ka Hakaka Maika'i"), Daniela Ruah made a guest appearance on "Hawaii Five-0" as her "NCIS: Los Angeles" character Kensi Blye. In the entry, Blye was flown in to help analyze footage about a matter Lieutenant Commander Steven J. McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) and Lieutenant Commander Joe White (Terry O'Quinn) are investigating involving the former's father. The audio is gone, so Blye's expert lip reading skills are needed to decipher what's going on, and since she owed Joe White a favor, she was glad to help. The information she obtains leads to some intriguing revelations and pulse-pounding action.
Ruah has been part of the "NCIS" franchise for over a decade, starring in over 300 entries of "NCIS: Los Angeles" (via IMDb) as Blye. She has arguably done an amazing job bringing the character to life, and she told Collider what she relishes most. "The most fun thing is the action sequences, as well as destroying cars. I have to say that's quite fun, but that's more of a superficial thing. I absolutely love our banter scenes. When the whole cast is sitting in a room, and we're all picking on one of the characters, I absolutely love doing those scenes."
Fan most assuredly have a blast watching Daniela Ruah play Kensi Blye in "NCIS," "NCIS: Los Angeles," and "Hawaii Five-0," and it's nice to know that the actress is having a good time as well.
