Patrick Labyorteaux played Bud J. Roberts Jr. We all remember Bud's strained relationship with his father but what's truly unforgettable about this character was when he lost his right leg after stepping on a landmine in Afghanistan. Bud started out as an ensign but was a lieutenant commander by the time the series ended.

Patrick Labyorteaux didn't completely say goodbye to his character since he reprised the role three times for episodes of NCIS in which he was already a captain. Since then Labyorteaux has been seen in movies and shows like Yes Man, Dexter, Castle, and Scandal.
