Part of “Scent of a Woman” was filmed at my high school and Chris O’Donnell was very nice. I helped the crew with a prank during one of his interviews and he was so gracious. This interview shows that he is still that down-to-Earth person. 🙂

Thanks for the "Men Don't Leave" shoutout! It's a brilliant family drama that made me cry buckets, and still does. Chris was strong in his acting debut, surrounded by Jessica Lange, Kathy Bate and Joan Cusack. Terrific movie!

I remember Chris O'Donnell in Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver.

I'm rooting for NCIS: Indianapolis. They don't even have a RIVER.

I remember the days when movie actors would never act on a television series. It was big screen, small screen and never the twain shall meet. I am glad those days are over.

I remember when NCIS got started starring Chris and LL, I thought why are these brilliant performers stooping to television? Enter: the Golden Age of TV.

NCIS:LA is the best NCIS show! My favorite.

[LoveAgenda]

I smile in spirit when I see NCIS anything. Congratulations on 300. I pulled out our Nola 2018 Tricentennial coozie and used it by happenedstance the other day. I wish you many more.

I remember Chris in Vertical Limit. Loved him in that.

[MawileMage]

I haven't seen him in anything since the Batman movies. He's looking great!

That's like asking Angela Lansbury back in the 80s why there are so many murders in her tiny town of Cabbot Cove, Maine. Why would anyone live there?

[chulafferty]

I love this guy. And of coyrse without saying LL Cool J is tops, nobody better. My favorite action show and the BEST of the NCIS group. It took a while but it's also great NCIS New Orleans. The actors are truly what make these shows so watchable and interesting. Plus the cities their in is magical.

Man I wanna hear him talk about Robin lol

[stonediggy]

I think the most important question would be is he in the flash reprising he’s role as Robbin

[teelasalada]

I used to love me some everything Chris O’Donnell in the mid 90s!!!

[heathershirley]

I’ve never gotten over his death in Fried Green Tomatoes. RIP Buddy!! ❤️

[pauldockree]

Vertical Limit. Great film and I suffer from vertigo.

[dalephomas]

@4:23 I love as soon as I heard his tone I knew he was bringing up his wife!!! Their relationship is so beautiful 💛

I always think NCIS was the grownup job that Robin took after Batman.

I've never noticed before, Stephen is wearing a different suit and tie from the one he wore in the opening monologue and Meanwhile segment.
