Career

Early in the first (2009) season of the television series NCIS: Los Angeles, Mazur appeared in a single episode as a Secret Service agent who is enamored with Chris O'Donnell's lead character. While the role was potentially to be recurring, Mazur’s character did not reappear on the series.[8] She appeared in three episodes, over the first three seasons of Castle as Gina, the publisher and second ex-wife of character Richard Castle.
