Despite being in big productions, she is perhaps most famous for her role in “NCIS” as Delilah Fielding Mc-Gee, a paraplegic intelligence analyst in the US Department of Defence, and Timothy McGee’s wife.
The name Harshman may sounds familiar despite not being big in TV shows, which is because Margo is related to the late baseball pitcher Jack Harshman who played for MLB teams such as The Giants, White Sox, and Red Sox.
