He \u201clost basically everything\u201d as a result, after being fired from ABC\u2019s Scoundrels TV show over his refusal to go against his faith and do certain scenes \u2013 namely kissing and adultish scenes<\/p>\n<p>The actor said that his faith kept his spirits up during this rough patch in his professional life. \u201cI remember falling to my knees and saying, \u2018God, why have you forgotten about me? Why am I being punished so much?\u2019\u201d He recalled. \u201cAnd as soon as those words came out of my mouth, I realized what self-absorbed questions those were,\u201d McDonough admitted.<\/p>\n<p>God has given me so much. We all experience challenges in our lives. I should be grateful \u2013 and thankful \u2013 for all the blessings I\u2019m given,\u201d the actor added. McDonough has already spoken about his refusal to compromise his faith, so this is not the first time that he opens up about it, reported Bounding into Comics.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2020, McDonough said: \u201cI won\u2019t mention the Lord\u2019s name in vain, and then I won\u2019t kiss another woman.\u201d \u201cS-x scenes aren\u2019t in it for me. And I think, gosh, there\u2019s enough s-x scenes out there, and me being in my fifties I\u2019m not sure if anyone wants to see me doing that stuff anyway, but it\u2019s a comfort level. I\u2019m not very comfortable doing that,\u201d he said back the<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.imgur.com\/iPHyMLz.jpg?w=1160&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I guess that\u2019s probably why I play so many villainous characters, because I love acting, and I\u2019m really good at it,\u201d McDonough declared. \u201cIt\u2019s a God-given talent, so for me to have a career, I have to figure out creatively and smartly and wisely how I can keep doing what I do,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>In light of his unwillingness to do those scenes, he makes it a point to ensure he remains memorable through his villainous performances, McDonough would further explain to The Christian Post earlier this month. \u201cIt\u2019s hard because I\u2019ve done so many different characters and done so many things, and in some of them, I play horrible villains in a lot of the things that I do, and I won\u2019t do kissing scenes, so I have to be the best villain out there,\u201d said the actor.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason why he refuses to kiss his co-stars is his wife of almost 20 years, Ruv\u00e9, McDonough disclosed. \u201cThese lips are meant for one woman,\u201d he confessed, adding that kissing scenes will no longer be a concern now that the couple has launched their movie-making endeavor. The actor announced that he now has \u201cthat opportunity because Ruv\u00e9 and I are doing it ourselves, and are so blessed to have companies that support us and back us and want to make more films and TV shows, or reality shows or any kind of show that gives glory to [God].\u201d<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.imgur.com\/iPHyMLz.jpg?w=1160&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot just to make a movie, but to do a movie that actually gives Him glory \u2013 that\u2019s our goal. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re after, and we\u2019re very fortunate to be able to do it,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neal McDonough, a Hollywood actor has recently revealed that being ostracized by Hollywood led him to launch his own film company McDonough is best known as Malcolm Beck in Yellowstone, Timothy \u2018Dum Dum\u2019 Dugan in Captain America: The First Avenger, and most recently General James Harding in Project Blue Book.
