What is NCIS: Los Angeles' Renee Felice Smith's net worth? She's been playing Nell Jones since 2010 on NCIS: LA, and her character really illustrates and gives meaning to the saying: "looks can be deceiving".
Her character looks sweet and fragile, however she's been through several situations that have shown just how tough she is.
A huge part of successfully portraying the fragile and innocent exterior, but tough interior, is how Smith portrays her. Fans feel like Nell Jones is someone they can really relate to, and understand. She's a character on-screen, who's dealing with things in the Navy, but at the same time, she's dealing with mundane things in her life, that fans may understand if they have no naval connection.
