Chris O'Donnell
(Actor)
.. Bill/Jill
Born:
June 26, 1970
in
Winnetka, Illinois
Best Known For:
A string of big-budget thrillers.
Early-life:
Christopher Eugene O'Donnell was born on June 26, 1970, in Illinois. He is the youngest child of seven siblings. He first started modelling at the age of 13, and at 16 began appearing in adverts. At 17, he was just about to give up on his showbiz dreams when he was offered the chance to audition for what would be his first film, Men Don't Leave. He didn't want to go to the audition, but his mother bribed him by saying she would buy him a new car if he went - he got the role (and presumably the car, too).
Career:
Since his breakthrough, O'Donnell has appeared in a number of major motion pictures including Fried Green Tomatoes, the sensational Scent of a Woman, The Chamber, Circle of Friends and Vertical Limit. Big hits included fun offerings like The Three Musketeers. He also tried his hand at romantic comedy in films such as The Bachelor, and starred as Robin in the Batman franchise. For a time, he was tipped to be a true A-list star after building up an impressive body of work in a short time, but then he took some time away from the movies to be with his family and take some stage roles. He has since become a major small-screen presence in the hit series NCIS: Los Angeles.
Quote:
'When I made Batman Forever, I felt like I was making a movie. When I made Batman & Robin, I felt like I was making a toy commercial.'
Trivia:
He enjoys playing golf.
