Her accent

I was watching NCIS and I was wondering, out of curiosity... For the Americans out there, does Daniela have any different accent at all that would tell you she's foreigner? I'm portuguese like her, and to me her english is flawless. Of course, a native english speaker would easily be able to detect something "out of place" in her way of speaking that could skip to me.
And by the way, from what region would you say her accent sounds like? My basic knowledge of US accents could say she doesn't speak like a Texan or someone from the midwest, but that's pretty much a giveaway lol

Sound like your common military brat... Your always moving/ being transferred! IMHO

Her English is really good. As to accent, she doesn't have a specific regional accent. I agree with whoever said she sounds like a military brat. I grew up one and lived all over the place and as a result I don't have a regional accent unless I purposely try for one.

Yes, but from what I know she came to Portugal at an early age and only returned to the US when she got here role in NCIS
