Chris O’Donnell Talks About His New Role on ‘9-1-1: Nashville’
While speaking with TVLine recently, Chris O’Donnell shared more details about his upcoming role in 9-1-1: Nashville.
The actor, who previously starred in NCIS: Los Angeles for over a decade, will play Don Sharpe, described as a “rugged fire captain and rodeo rider who runs Nashville’s busiest firehouse.” He works alongside his son.
“Don’s a devoted husband and family man,” O’Donnell explained, “but he has his secrets.”
Jessica Capshaw also spoke to TVInsider about working alongside O’Donnell once again. The duo previously collaborated on The Practice.
“I adore [him] and have known him for a long time,” she said. “I remember feeling like a baby actress, and I remember feeling like he was not a baby actor. He was accomplished, and I’d seen so many movies he’d done that I love so much.”
