With the NCIS spin-off now in its 13th season, NCIS: Los Angeles has welcomed back a number of its best-loved and longest-serving stars to keep the crime-fighting going on CBS. In recent years, the likes of Marty Deeks (played by Eric Christian Olsen), Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) have welcomed a handful of new agents to the team and Devin Roundtree (Caleb Castille) has become one of the show’s most popular newcomers. And he clearly has a close bond with his colleagues on set, sharing a clip of the celebrations which ensued for Ruah’s birthday.
On December 2, Ruah celebrated her 38th birthday and joined her NCIS LA castmates on the set of the CBS drama.
Ruah not only has been bringing Kensi to life once again in season 13 but is also trying her hand behind the camera as a director on a number of episodes.
And it just so happened that episode 14, an episode Ruah was directing, fell on her special day.
Sharing a clip from Ruah’s birthday celebrations on set, Castille gave fans a peek at the joyous occasion as well as writing a sweet message of his own.
“It’s our favourite crime-fighting mama’s bday today!!!” Castille penned, followed by a love heart and smiley face emoji. (sic)
In the clip, Ruah joyfully listens as the crew sing Happy Birthday as she blows kisses to her cohorts.
And overwhelmed by her co-stars’ surprises as well as her fans’ kind messages, Ruah took to her own social media page to issue a heartfelt thanks.
Speaking on her Instagram story, she said: “Hello everyone I just wanted to say thank you so, so, so much for the amazing birthday messages I’ve been receiving all day long.
“I got to spend the day doing exactly what I love which is acting and directing with the best crew in Hollywood,
“And then I came home to my children and my husband and I got lots of snuggles and delicious food and I feel very blessed and very grateful.
“So thank you so much all for taking the time for making these amazing videos and compilations, I’ve no idea where you even found half of those pictures and half of that footage but I saw it, I appreciate it.
“You guys were such a big part of filling my heart today so [blows kiss] thank you all,” she concluded.

Fatima star Medalion Rahimi also shared a post of her own dedicated to Ruah, sharing two selfies with the Kensi star behind the scenes of shooting.
While there isn’t yet a release date for the Ruah directed 14th instalment, there are some clues as to when NCIS LA season 13 will be back.
The show disappointed viewers recently as it was taken off air for a short delay amid the Thanksgiving celebrations in the USA.
And it also looks set for a lengthy hiatus from screens as the festive period hits.
But according to The Futon Critic, fans will be waiting until Sunday, January 2 for Lost Soldier Down.
This episode will also be directed by Ruah according to the site.
Its synopsis reads: “NCIS investigates the apparent suicide of a Navy Intelligence Officer who leapt to his death after taking LSD.”
NCIS: Los Angeles season 13 airs Sundays on CBS in the USA. A UK release date is yet to be announced.
