He went on to play ‘D’Artagnan’ in The Three Musketeers, for which he was named the NATO/ShoWest Male Star of Tomorrow in 1994.

O’Donnnell adopted an Irish dialect to star in the romantic comedy sleeper Circle of Friends, and won over audiences worldwide with his stand-out performance as ‘Robin’ in the highest grossing film of 1995, Batman Forever.

He went on to star opposite Gene Hackman in John Grisham’s legal thriller The Chamber, and Lord Richard Attenborough’s period romance In Love and War, with Sandra Bullock, before reprising his role as the fledgling super-hero in the 1997 hit Batman & Robin. His other feature film credits include starring roles in Blue Sky, School Ties, and Mad Love.
