Actor Sean Murray is an especially low-key celebrity even though he stars on one of TV’s biggest shows. Since entering the hit series in the seventh episode of the first season, Murray has become not only a main character, but one of the ones to stick it out after the exit of a few NCIS stars. When he isn’t in front of the camera, however, he lives a very regular life, and spends his time being a husband and father.

8. Family Connections
Although he didn’t exactly follow in his father’s footsteps when it comes to his career path, the actor’s work and his father’s crossed in a unique way. Murray’s father, Craig Harland Murray, spent 30 years as a naval officer, and of course now Sean stars as a special agent for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). Although his father didn’t understand wanting to be an actor, Murray says his dad enjoys the connection. “My father gets such a kick out of that.” He added, “To my father, the whole concept (of acting) was just insane. To be a kid and not have any desire to do anything but, I really had no backup plan. I said, ‘This is it, this is what I want to do.’ I remember my father many times saying to me, ‘You realize you have nothing to fall back. If this doesn’t work out — and it doesn’t work out for most people statistically.’ My dad is a very logical person. I said, ‘Yeah, but it’s all I can think of. It’s the only thing I want to be a part of.’”
