Chris O’Donnell was born in Winnetka, Illinois, about 30 kilometers outside of Chicago, on June 26, 1970. He was the youngest of seven children and was raised in a large, Catholic family.
O’Donnell thinks having a big family has been really beneficial. His “altar-boy” upbringing was definitely assimilated, and it appears that his religious upbringing was beneficial to him in later life
After the calls had been unsuccessful, O’Donnell finally had a chance when his sister met an agent by coincidence at a wedding. When O’Donnell entered the agent’s Chicago office, she admired him.
Chris quickly made an appearance for Sears and Montgomery Ward in his pajamas. He quickly transitioned to advertisements. He played a cashier in a 1987 McDonald’s commercial that featured none other than Michael Jordan.
