Chris O'Donnell Celebrates Son's Birthday and Launches Production Company
The '9-1-1: Nashville' star marks family milestones and expands his career with a new venture called Lone Cypress Entertainment.
Actor Chris O'Donnell recently celebrated a major family milestone, sharing heartwarming tributes on social media for his oldest son, Chip, who turned 26. The proud father posted several photographs documenting Chip's life, from childhood memories dressed up as a firefighter to recent snapshots of the father-son duo smiling together.
In his birthday message, O'Donnell playfully referenced their shared hobby on social media, writing that he spent 26 years dominating his son on the golf course. Chip is one of five children that O'Donnell shares with his wife Caroline, whom he married in 1997. The couple's family also includes Lily, Charles, Finley, and Maeve.
The family celebration arrives as O'Donnell experiences a busy professional period. The 56-year-old actor currently stars as fire Captain Don Hart in the ABC first responder drama '9-1-1: Nashville,' which recently returned for its second season. The new season kicked off with dramatic emergencies, a sprawling biblical mystery storyline, and the introduction of Ryan Phillippe as detective Rogue Kelly.
Beyond his acting commitments on television, O'Donnell is expanding his presence behind the scenes. In October, he announced the official launch of his new production company, Lone Cypress Entertainment. According to the actor, the newly formed company will serve as an engine to assemble creative teams, invest in early-stage ideas, and help writers package projects spanning digital series, television, and film.
The studio's inaugural project is already underway with the film 'Kilkenny,' which stars P.J. Byrne and is directed by Jay Duplass. O'Donnell explained that the company aims to support creators from the earliest stages of development, whether working with an initial pitch, short story, article, book, or spec script.
As '9-1-1: Nashville' continues its second season run on Thursday nights, O'Donnell remains deeply engaged in both his creative endeavors on screen and his new entrepreneurial path behind the camera.
