The hit 9-1-1 franchise on ABC is coming to Music City, and Chris O’Donnell is stepping into the role of Don Hart — a character as bold and dynamic as the city itself. Here’s a glimpse of what he shared with us:
What can you tell us about your character?
"Don Hart is a family man; he has his wife and son, as well as his ‘family’ at the firehouse. He had a different upbringing than his wife, Blythe, and some of that he carries on. He is a strong leader and always tries to set an example with his team."
The 9-1-1 franchise has been such a hit among viewers across the country. What do you think makes Nashville a great fit for the show’s new location?
"The franchise is known for its energy and excitement; Nashville has the same qualities. I have loved my time in Nashville; I can see why so many people are moving here and why it is growing so rapidly. This is a great opportunity to showcase a world-class, one-of-a-kind city."
