When Chris O'Donnell made his screen debut in 1990, he earned critical praise for his portrayal of Jessica Lange's rebellious teenage son in Paul Brickman's "Men Don't Leave." After a memorable cameo in "Fried Green Tomatoes," O'Donnell continued his ascent to stardom with "School Ties" in 1992, and the award-winning "Scent of a Woman," in which he starred opposite Al Pacino, earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
O'Donnell enjoyed further silver screen success when he starred in "The Three Musketeers," "Circle of Friends" and "Mad Love." In 1995, he vaulted to worldwide stardom as Robin in the mega-hit "Batman Forever," reprising his role in the 1997 sequel, "Batman & Robin." Other film credits include "Blue Sky," "The Chamber" and Sir Richard Attenborough's "In Love and War."
In 1999, he appeared opposite Renèe Zellweger in the romantic comedy "The Bachelor," and in Robert Altman's acclaimed comedy, "Cookie's Fortune." O'Donnell has also starred action-thrillers "Vertical Limit" and the indie "29 Palms." He most recently appeared in Bill Condon's award-winning "Kinsey" and will soon be seen in Arthur Allan Seidelman's "The Sisters," a modern-day re-imagining of Chekhov's "Three Sisters."
On stage, O'Donnell made his Broadway debut in Arthur Miller's "The Man Who Had All the Luck." He also appeared opposite Angela Lansbury in Terrance McNally's one-act play, "Ghost Light," produced by Mike Nichols.
