By playing G. Callen in NCIS Los Angeles, Chris O’Donnell rose to fame .The native of Chicago has been a cast member since the program’s debut and is currently in season 13.
O’Donnell had a successful career despite the fact that the Hollywood celebrity press hates the 51-year-old despite the fact that he has settled down.
