Denise played Lieutenant Tasha Yar on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Tasha was a pivotal character in the series, serving as the Star Trek Enterprise's chief security officer.

The accomplished actress also played the lead role of Dolly Dearest in the 1991 horror film Pet Sematary.

In addition to her role as Tasha Yar, Denise has been in everything from Dexter and Family Guy to The Walking Dead and even NCIS: LA. Denise doesn't have an official Instagram, but she's very active on Twitter where she has nearly 68K followers. The actress is definitely a dog lover, and posts frequently about Star Trek and her love of pit bulls.

Denise is also related to the Bing Crosby. Although Denise never met her grandfather before he died, she is related to the iconic crooner/actor famous for hit songs like "White Christmas."

Denise hasn't given any indication on her Twitter page if she'll be returning to NCIS. However, Season 19 of NCIS isn't over yet and we'd love to see Denise return again as the Secretary of the Navy.

You can catch new episodes of NCIS Mondays at 8 p.m. EST only on CBS.
