He's done *tons* of pilots, apparently. Maybe she heard about one of the old ones? Though, in the grand scheme of things, the time from filming of the pilot to actual production can run to years, if it's picked up at all, and then there's the fact that it's rare for a show to run more than 7 or 8 years. Hard to tell if NCIS will have what it takes to thrive in multiple shows like CSI does.
I've read where actors will do a pilot that they never expect to make first off for the money, but also because they get seen by, y'know, people who buy pilots. :-) Even if they don't buy that one. Sort of like keeping your resume updated for us mundanes.
