Neal McDonough sagt: „Hollywood hat mich angemacht“, nachdem ich keine andere Frau auf dem Bildschirm küssen würde: „Ich konnte keinen Job bekommen und ich habe alles verloren.“

“I really wanted to be an actor, but they wanted me to act.”
Movies really asking the villain or 3rd string protagonist to get down with the ladies?
M…mmmm…Medic!!!
There are like a butt load of christian streamers now.
Are you mad because you can’t act, or are you mad because you painted yourself into a corner with projects that are limited?
Go party with Kirk Cameron and Kevin Sorbo.
Every time I see this quote I check his Wikipedia page to make sure I didn’t miss something – he has a film or television credit every year from 1994 to present with the exception being in 2000.
I don’t understand when he was excluded from roles
It seems like he fell in with the Yellowstone/Tulsa King crew who love to piss and moan about Hollywood.
I’ve never seen him in a role where kissing a woman would even be called for.
Refuses to act, gets mad about not getting any acting jobs.
Yeah, there are plenty of roles that don’t require romantic scenes. There are plenty of shows and movies that don’t even have or call for kissing scenes. Something tells me there is more to the story and this guy is playing victim.
Funny that he had no problem with his character on Justified but kissing a woman is where he draws the line.
Having watched Andrew Scott wet the panties of ladies all over the planet as „Hot Priest“ on Flea Bag, I’d say this dude isn’t seeing the forest through the trees.
He’s apparently comfortable playing a rapist on Justified, FWIW.
Edit: apparently he’s STRAIGHT. Now I’m really baffled.
I like Neal, but what is this article.
He said this years ago, about an experience that happened years ago.
Buddy. You were never nothing more than a C tier „hey its that guy“ actor.
Kirk Cameron played this card too, to brag about what a strong Christian he was.
He rolls this b.s. out every couple of years.
He has had steady work since 1990.
Has played sexual deviant and morally deficient characters over the years, yet draws the line at kissing a woman in a scene, despite it not being intimate.
Not being romantic on screen is not why you don’t get parts. Denzel doesn’t do on screen romance either really, he has no issues getting roles lol
One of the coolest people I ran into at the grocery store. I was getting carded as a 38 yo buying beer with my buddy. When I got carded, my buddy told to cashier to look at my grey hair, and from behind me some guy said, “yeah look at all of his grey hair!” I turned around and full of grey hair was Neal and we all started laughing. Nice guy.
Your IMDB says otherwise, Neal.
Rich guy who „lost everything“ actually didn’t lose anything.
Man won’t do his job. Man doesn’t have job
I’m used to seeing him as the bad guy in stuff, and he does a decent job. What a goofball take on his part though…
Weird how an actor refusing to act led to less acting jobs.
He can act murdering folks but not kissing them? If kissing a woman is the job and he won’t do it I wouldn’t hire him. My concern would be if he doesn’t do this what else doesn’t he do. I think women have faced this around nudity for a long time. Not saying it’s right but he’s hardly special.
This is surprising because he was great as Dahrk in the Arrowverse
Bro. Mike pence was vice president 5 years ago. We have a christofacist currently as our president and vice president. It’s time to stop pretending like Christians are victims in our society.
The only people getting blacklisted from Hollywood roles right now are people who want Israel to stop committing a genocide in Gaza. And last I checked, the current christofacist position is that they support Israel murdering children and women and the elderly, so… you shouldn’t be getting blacklisted.
He was one of the best villains on the CW DC shows.
It’s not so much Hollywood „turning on him“ as it is not wanting to act out romantic scenes naturally limits what kinds of jobs are available to an actor.
Still, this kinda seems like BS to me — there are plenty of action/crime/medical/horror roles that usually don’t involve romance. It sounds to me like he wanted to play romantic roles without kissing, which is…a bit silly.
