Catherine Bell and Dolph Lundgren co-starred in the 1994 movie Men of War. After experiencing amoebic dysentery together, Bell and her co-star Trevor Goddard grew close while filming on location in Thailand.
Goddard portrayed Mic Brumby, the on-again, off-again love interest of Bell’s character, in JAG the following year. Their friendship lasted until Goddard’s sudden drug overdose death in June 2003, which left Bell terribly grieved.
Bell was given a three-line part in one episode of the NBC TV show JAG in 1995. NBC initially canceled the show, but it was eventually taken up by CBS, who made considerable alterations to it, including the addition of a female Marine Corps lawyer character named Sarah MacKenzie.
Bell successfully obtained this position after an audition. In one particular episode, Bell was heard speaking Persian, and MacKenzie’s Iranian-American heritage was highlighted. She kept portraying this role till the 2005 series finale.
