As NCIS: Los Angeles approaches its conclusion after 14 seasons, Chris O’Donnell is set to make his final appearance as Agent G. Callen in May. While the actor has been a staple on the beloved drama since its inception in 2009, not many may know that he’s not the only member of his family who has graced the show.
Chris O’Donnell is married to elementary school teacher Caroline Fentress. The couple, who met in the early 1990s, tied the knot in April 1997 at St. Patrick’s Church in Washington D.C. The actor, the youngest of seven children, grew up in a Catholic household and shares five children with Caroline: Lily, Christopher Jr., Charlie, Finley, and Maeve.
During Chris’s tenure on NCIS: Los Angeles, he has incorporated his family members into the show on several occasions. Caroline made an appearance in the drama in 2015 during season seven. Chris shared a humorous anecdote about her cameo, recalling how she and her friends, who joined her for an episode he directed, couldn’t contain their laughter during a dramatic gunfire scene.
In addition to Caroline, four of Chris’s five children have made appearances on NCIS: Los Angeles. While Chris has been a central figure on the show, his family’s occasional involvement has added a personal touch to his journey in the series. As the show concludes its long run, Chris O’Donnell’s legacy on NCIS: Los Angeles is not just about his character but also the familial connections woven into the fabric of the show.
