Chris O'Donnell

Originally cast in El príncipe de las mareas (1991), but Barbra Streisand decided she wanted her real son to play the role. She wanted to personally apologize to Chris, so she called his dorm room. One of his roommates answered the phone and took the message, which bewildered him because Chris had not yet mentioned that he was "in the movie biz".
Voted "Most Likely to Run Off and Join the Circus" by his class at Loyola Academy.
"Never date an actress." - a piece of advice given to him by Al Pacino.
He got his start in a McDonald's commercial.
The final choice for the role of Robin in Batman Forever (1995) came down between him and Leonardo DiCaprio. Kids in the key demographic were polled as to which of the two would win in a fight. O'Donnell beat DiCaprio out.

[on the Batman films]: Some day my kids are going to watch these and say to themselves "That's daddy!".
[Comparing the experiences of making Batman Forever (1995) and Batman y Robin (1997)]: 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.
(1995, on his clean-cut image) My family and friends see me as a real smart-ass, a wise-ass. The way people see me in movies, in the stuff they read about me, is kind of an idealistic view.
(1995, on competing with his acting peers) There have been times when I had to go audition and there were other people there. I can't stand that. When it comes to the point where I'm trying to get a part, I'm like "I don't want to talk to you.".
(on Reese Witherspoon) We hung out for a little while when Esencia de mujer (1992) came out. I did date her. It was weird because it was the first time I had ever really dated an actress. When I was in college, I never had a serious girlfriend because it was too much fun dating different girls. With Reese, it just kind of didn't work out. It was nothing serious, to tell you the truth.
