What Hollywood’s Ultimate Villain Can Teach YOU About God | Neal McDonough

You know him from The Minority Report, Band of Brothers, and more. He’s had more than 60 epic death scenes on-camera. He’s Hollywood’s ultimate villain. Ladies and gentlemen, Neal McDonough!

Neal had it all. He was a rising Hollywood star, getting huge roles, working with the biggest names in the industry. Then, he was blacklisted for one thing: refusing to do romantic on-camera scenes with women who were not his wife. Neal stuck to his Catholic values and nearly lost his career because of it!

My conversation with Neal is so inspiring. We talk about his career, how he nearly lost everything after taking a stand, his struggles with addiction during that dark time, and how he came back, better than ever, to have an extensive and AMAZING career, using his talents to glorify God.

Neal knows that faith and staying true to God is a transformative thing. He has seen it first-hand in his own life! May his example inspire us to follow God as intensely in our own lives. If there’s someone you know who is going through a dark time or having a tough job situation, this is a perfect episode to share with them to give them hope!

He is one of the rare honest men we have in Hollywood. I really love this guy. ✌

[claym]

Love this guy as a person and human. Didn’t sell out to Hollywood. Stood his ground. Huge respect.

[davidmayer]

I'm a fan, and love how he thinks and talks about his faith, and acting.

I had no idea. Thank you Neal for sharing your faith journey and your courage to stand up to the Hollywood normies. God bless you and your family.

"Everybody's downhill..." "Why buy a cheeseburger when I've got a steak at home..." These are the BATTLE CRIES of every godly husband ever! The world may or may not look at our wives as a beauty queen or supermodel "material, " but to every husband who looks at his wife as the pinnacle of beauty, the one whom God has intended for him and him alone, I say press in, brothers!

[marieschroeder]

I love Neal!!! He is one of the best actors and human beings ever!!!!

[maryv]

I've always loved you as THE "bad guy"...with the soul and heart that belongs to God! How blest you and your wife are to know God is first, then all follows. ❤ Will keep you and your family in my prayers.

[donnavanderwalt]

Your surrender story, reminded me of Jonathan Roumie's. We need to totally surrender

[petefalcone]

I have Col 3:23 on my linkedin wall, and I try to live by it at work. You're an inspiration to us, Mr. McDonough.

[forevercatholic]

Wow. Amazing and inspiring. I love how almost every field seems to have its own group of strong, unashamed, unapologetic Catholics. God bless you both.

[cecilegregory]

Absolutely beautiful.
I am so eager to see your new … and older movies.

[kenvr]

I am 55 and Neal is someone I look up to…..

[knock]

I am the Real Revert. Noticed Neal when he was the Drunk Prosecutor in Boomtown. A great show that was thrown in the Junk Heap after 2 years (2002-03). One of those rare ones where every show was Excellent: Donny Wahlberg was in this too...

[MrJptabor]

Two wonderful examples of true Catholic gentleman.
