Chris O'Donnell

From his humble beginnings in Winnetka, Illinois, Christopher Eugene O'Donnell's story as a renowned actor is nothing short of regal. The seventh of seven children born to William Charles O'Donnell, Sr. and Julie Ann (Rohs) O'Donnell, the young prince's lineage includes Irish, German, English, and Swiss ancestry. His rise to notoriety began at the age of thirteen when he began modeling, and soon after, at the age of seventeen, he was asked to audition for his first film role. With his mother's promise of a new car as a bribe, the young prince accepted and thus began his illustrious career with works such as Men Don't Leave (1990), Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), Scent Of a Woman (1992), The Three Musketeers (1993), Circle of Friends (1995), Batman Forever (1995), and The Bachelor (1999). His story continues to inspire those around him to be brave and take on life's challenges.
