Commander Amy Helfman is probably the character our mothers would relate to the most, and that’s why we love her. Commander Helfman presided as a judge in the JAG corps, and always did everything she could to balance the law with compassion and fairness. I know I still get a warm feeling whenever I think about her.
Jennifer Savidge has not been the most active actress in recent times, that’s why I am so happy to announce that you can finally see her fabulous style as Ruth Taylor in the first season of ABC critically acclaimed drama series, American Crime.
Patrick Labyorteaux
Patrick was the fan-favorite Captain Bud "Big Bud" J. Roberts, a highly respected trial lawyer in JAG. He is still considered one of the best on the show. Though not a particularly physical person, he always knew how to defend himself when the situation demanded it. Roberts married Ensign Harriet Sims in 1998 and they had five children together.
Patrick is still a very active American actor, television producer, and television writer, and recently voiced cartoons such as Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Godzilla: The Series and others.
Scott Lawrence
Commander Sturgis was arguably the most goodie-goodie character on the entire show, always making sure to follow the rules to the letter, both in the courtroom as well as during his investigations. Sturgis briefly dated singer Varese Chestnut, although, sadly, that romance was short-lived.
Today Scott Lawrence is most recognized for his many voice-over roles as Darth Vader from the Star Wars franchise, both in video-games and movies. He also played in the box-office hit Avatar and 2010’s The Social Network.
Bill Cobbs
Bill Cobbs played Matthew Turner on JAG - a Chaplain in the United States Navy and also the father of Commander Sturgis Turner. He last appeared in Season 9, in the sweet episode “A Merry Little Christmas”.
After the show ended, Cobbs found himself in many interesting roles in both TV shows and Movies. The ones that stand out to us were his roles as Jack Rymer on The Tenant, Reginald in Night at the Museum and Master Tinker in Oz the Great and Powerful.
Catherine Bell
Sarah MacKenzie, also known as “Mac”, first appeared in season 2’s, episode 1, called “We the People”. She immediately became a fan-favorite and lead female on the show, all the way to its finale.
Ah, the Bell’s. Now that’s a family of actors. Catherine Bell has a long history with leading roles on long-running shows, from Denise Sherwood in the series Army Wives (2007 to 2013), to the role of Cassie Nightingale in The Good Witch films and television series which has been running from 2008 and up to, well, today.
