At the end of this week’s well-crafted “Who Do You Think You Are,” “NCIS: LA” dreamboat Chris O’Donnell speculates about being a family man in a long line of family men: “Maybe that’s why it feels so natural to me. Maybe it comes from past generations that instilled that in you without you even knowing.”
We begin with a spirited trip down the memory lane of Chris’s career. Understated performances in “Men Don’t Leave” and “Scent of a Woman” led to breakout stardom in “Batman & Robin” with George Clooney. We linger on a photo of Chris and Clooney as Chris reflects: “I knew when I was working that I couldn’t continue to date and never get married. If you know you want to have a family and a bunch of kids, it’s hard to run around in Hollywood.”
Chris does run around — in his family’s backyard. He and his wife, Caroline, have five children, and Chris, the youngest of seven, is an advocate for family life: “Until you have children, you have no idea what it means to love somebody.” He lost his own father two years ago and is visibly choked up when he talks about missing his dad and craving a connection to him.
