The Untold Truth Of NCIS Star Emily Wickersham

Not long after the introduction of Eleanor Bishop to "NCIS," Emily Wickersham joined host Craig Ferguson for an appearance on "The Late Late Show." Right at the top of the interview, Ferguson pointed out that his guest's name sounds "very English." Wickersham agreed but pointed out that while her name is English, "I am not." In fact, as she told Ferguson, she's actually "Austrian and Swedish — born in Kansas."

She also revealed a recent discovery she'd made about her surname, having learned that "there are Wickersham brothers in a Dr. Seuss book," although she admitted she didn't know which Dr. Seuss book it was — a bit of a rambling conversation that left Ferguson's animatronic sidekick Geoff Peterson "very confused." (To clear things up, the Wickersham brothers are a malevolent trio who harass the titular elephant protagonist in "Horton Hears a Who," and even perform a song-and-dance number in the animated TV adaptation.)

A different line of questioning yielded another nugget of info about Wickersham, when Ferguson asked if she was a vegetarian. "I am a vegetarian," she replied, with Ferguson triumphantly insisting, "I knew you would be!" When she asked how he could have possibly known that about her, Ferguson admitted, "Well, you're an actress ... it's kind of a 50/50 shot, really."
