According to Insider, a pre-fame Abigail Breslin played a kidnapped little girl in a Season 2 episode of “NCIS” entitled “See No Evil.” Breslin was Sandy, a blind child who gets abducted alongside her mother. However, it later transpires that the whole thing was a scheme concocted by Sandy’s father, for nefarious reasons. Per IMDb, the actor would’ve only been around eight years old when the episode aired. Moreover, it was shortly before her star-making performance in “Little Miss Sunshine.”
These days, Breslin is a household name, even if her role as wannabe beauty queen Olive continues to be beloved. Looking back on the formative experience, in a 2021 interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, the “Scream Queens” star shared, “It was such an incredible film to be a part of.” Breslin, who appeared in the movie opposite the big-name likes of Steve Carell and Toni Collette, also acknowledged, “I don’t think anyone expected it to become as successful as it was.”
Overall, the actor has “amazing memories from that whole experience” and, due to her young age, Breslin also “didn’t have any insecurities yet or anything.” No wonder, since she was making waves across the board. Around the same time Breslin appeared on “NCIS,” she also made her mark on “Law & Order: SVU,” signaling a star was about to be born.
