Since the NCIS crossover event aired on CBS, Vanessa Lachey and the rest of the cast have been inundated with praise, especially after it was announced that the episodes had smashed viewership records. Taking to Instagram on Friday, the actress – who stars as Special Agent Jane Tennant on NCIS: Hawai'i – revealed just how busy she'd been this week, after receiving a huge amount of fan mail from viewers.
Posting a photo from her office, Vanessa's desk was covered with endless letters, and she's spent a great deal of time responding to each and every one of them. At the bottom of her Instagram story, she wrote: "Mahalo for ALL your letters! I am getting through them!! Promise!!!"
