Before she found her passion for the performing arts, Cote co-hosted the Latin-American talk show, Control, at the age of 15.
Chatting about her time on Control in an interview with American Latino, she said: "I interviewed some pretty phenomenal people on that show in the Latin world," before going on to say that "interviewing was not what I studied. What I studied was acting, and I wanted to do what I studied."

While she made her last appearance back in season 17, her co-star Michael Weatherly recently hinted at a potential reunion for their two characters. What's more, there's been speculation about a new spin-off series that could star both Michael and Cote.

But will Cote return? Back in 2016, the 43-year-old revealed that she chose not to come back to the show because of "political things and scripts not being good enough".
"Look, I love this character! I worked for eight years crafting Ziva and when I felt like the character wasn't being treated with the respect she deserved," she said.
