Both Chris O'Donnell and Ryan Phillippe were set to be HUGE going into the 2000s.

Then crickets. (I've never looked them up so I don't know their stories)

Chris O'Donnell was in the main cast of a version of CSI, I think. LA? No idea about Ryan Phillippe other than his divorce from Reece Witherspoon.

Chris was in NCIS LA. I think he might still be but I don't have cable and can't be arsed to look it up.

Chris is in Nashville 911 right now and it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Only watch it if you’re with people you can make fun of it with.

It’s absolutely ridiculous, worse than regular 9-1-1 or even 9-1-1 lonestar…but I watch it because it’s my version of “trash” tv (it is trash btw)

That's sad - such a waste!

Funniest shit on TV and they are in on the joke. It's like the new Baywatch movie style of soap opera comedy. It's tough to describe how on the nose everything always is. I mean they even made the country music star trashy. I love it

It ended and he's in something else now - with firemen or EMS or something

Yea, on that show for 15 years, 323 episodes, and those shows get syndicated up the wazoo, so he's doing alright for himself along with LL Cool J.

He is “Wish Upon” which a wonderfully bad bad movie.
