WARNING: This article contains spoilers from NCIS Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

NCIS LA star Daniela Ruah feared she was going to get fired when she first started acting more than 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

Actress Ruah was catapulted into the world of mainstream TV when she joined NCIS Los Angeles as Agent Kensi Blye way back in 2009.<\/p>\n

Prior to the CBS police drama though, she had worked mostly in Portuguese television, with her first major break in the soap opera Jardins Proibidos as Sara for a year.<\/p>\n

She then went on to appear in other dramas like Filha do Mar, Dei-te Quase Tudo and Tu e Eu.<\/p>\n

It were these shows that helped the 39-year-old get noticed in the first place but it wasn\u2019t always the most stress-free experience.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opening up on The Wayne Ayers Podcast, Ruah discussed working on Portuguese soap operas and how keen newcomers were to stay on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt very difficult in the beginning and then you\u2019re just happy to be there\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this is a good lesson to pass on to any youngsters who want to be actors is you\u2019re always going to say yes to everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause one, you\u2019re like \u2018I don\u2019t want to be difficult, oh I don\u2019t want to get fired\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always feel like you\u2019re going to get fired at any minute for being difficult but it\u2019s really important that you stand your ground on certain things.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cLike don\u2019t be late, that\u2019s basic. When they knock on your trailer or the green room, wherever you\u2019re waiting, get up and go to set.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a team of people who are waiting to go home that day and you don\u2019t want to be the cause for any delay.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if they\u2019re like \u2018hey, do you mind working 15, 16 hours and coming back tomorrow at 7am, you can say no to that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause that is not humanly healthy and you\u2019re not going to do your job the best the next day when you\u2019ve just done that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t speak for movies but everyone is going to ask everything of you and you really need to filter what you are OK with and what\u2019s going to destroy you in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n
