"Chris O&amp;#039;Donnell has said that he has grown up since he started his acting career. The Batman Forever star was last year hired to play the lead role of G. Callen in CBS cop show NCIS: Los Angeles. O&amp;#039;Donnell told Parade: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve grown up a little bit. I&amp;#039;m almost 40 years old now. But everyone was introduced to me when I was 18 and I looked like I was 15. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been around a long time. I don&amp;#039;t know that NCIS: Los Angeles is a complete reinvention, but I&amp;#039;m playing one of the guys in charge this time. &amp;quot;Before I&amp;#039;d be cast as a young impressionable character. I think part of that is just being more mature.&amp;quot; Co-star LL Cool J added: &amp;quot;Reinvention isn&amp;#039;t only for celebrities or actors or musicians or athletes - reinvention is for all humanity. &amp;quot;All of us should strive for a newer and better self. Just constantly take our lives to the next level. People make a whole bunch of mistakes, and then we call it &amp;#039;experience&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;For me, having a music career for all those years kind of prepped me emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually to be able to handle something like this. You have to remember that success is a long, long road, but failure is only a step away.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
