Acting

Gabrielle Anwar, on the USA Network series Burn Notice, plays a world-weary, trigger-happy IRA gunwoman and demolitions expert. For whatever she did during the Troubles, she cannot return home to Ireland.

Pauley Perrette, on the CBS and USA Network series NCIS, plays Abby Sciuto, a Goth-loving forensic technician and computer geek.

Now the kicker: Perrette is older by almost a year.

Don't believe me?
