Diane Neal (born November 17, 1976) is an American actress best known for her role as Casey Novak on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which she played from 2003 to 2008, then reprised her role from 2011 to 2012. She has portrayed Coast Guard Investigative Service Special Agent Abigail Borin in the NCIS franchise since 2009, appearing as an annual special guest star in NCIS since its seventh season, and as a recurring guest star in NCIS: New Orleans.

Life and career

Neal was born in Alexandria, Virginia, the daughter of Colleen, a math teacher, and Christopher Neal, a federal attorney. She was raised in Ohio.

Neal first appeared in SVU as a guest star, playing a female rapist in the season 3 episode “Ridicule”. Neal first appeared as Assistant District Attorney Casey Novak in the show’s fifth season, replacing Stephanie March, who played Alexandra Cabot.

Neal portrayed Novak through the end of season 9, when the character exited the series after being censured by the New York State Bar. In 2011, Neal reprised her role as Novak in the season 12 episode, “Reparations”, when Novak returned to SVU as their temporary ADA. After that appearance, she became a recurring character in season 13. She was last seen in the episode “Valentine’s Day”. Neal said of her return to the series in season 13 to TV Guide, “It’s back on track to what the original SVU was intended to be, which is about sex crimes and crimes against children, it’s got more of a nitty-gritty feel.” She says that March’s and her return to the fictional universe of the series provided a familiarity for viewers following original cast member Chris Meloni’s departure. “I think they should put us in the court room together!” she says about March.

Steve Irwin’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Steve Irwin Net Worth: Steve Irwin was an Australian wildlife expert and conservationist and television personality who had a net worth of $10 million dollars at the time of his death. He acquired international popularity thanks to the show “The Crocodile Hunter”, which he hosted with his wife Terri. Steve Irwin was born in 1962 in Melbourne, Victoria, but he spent part of his late childhood in Queensland where he settled with his parents in 1970. His father was the founder of Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, a small conservation park where young Steve lived among crocodiles and other reptiles. His herpetologist father initiated him in the handling of crocodiles at the early age of nine. Irwin took over his parents´ park in 1991 and renamed it Australia Zoo in 1992. It was during a visit to the zoo that he met his wife Terri Raines, an American naturalist. When interviewed, they say it was love at first sight. Terri describes her sight of Steve as a one-of-a-kind man, an environmental Tarzan. They had two kids, Bindi Sue and Robert Clarence. Steve gained popular acclaim after the release of his popular show “The Crocodile Hunter” whose first episode, released in Australia in 1996, was produced from film footage of Steve’ and Terri´s honeymoon. The show came to America the following year. Steve starred in other shows related to the animals and the environment. His charisma, deep Australian accent, communication skills and ability to show the natural world in an exciting way earned him worldwide popularity. Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray while filming a documentary for his daughter’s show, “Bindi the Jungle Girl” on September 4, 2006, at age 44.
