\n\tNeal McDonough<\/a>, the veteran character actor who has appeared in everything from \u201cBand of Brothers\u201d to \u201cDesperate Housewives,\u201d \u201cMinority Report,\u201d \u201cAmerican Horror Story,\u201d \u201cSuits\u201d and more, revealed during an interview on the \u201cNothing Left Unsaid\u201d podcast (exclusive shared by TMZ<\/a>) that Hollywood shut him out when he refused to kiss other actors on screen. McDonough has been married to Ruv\u00e9 Robertson since 2003. The couple has five children together.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019d always had in my contracts I wouldn\u2019t kiss another woman on-screen,\u201d McDonough said. \u201cMy wife didn\u2019t have any problem with it. It was me, really, who had a problem with it. When I couldn\u2019t do it, and they couldn\u2019t understand it, Hollywood just completely turned on me. They wouldn\u2019t let me be part of the show anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor two years, I couldn\u2019t get a job and I lost everything you could possibly imagine,\u201d McDonough added. \u201cNot just houses and material things, but your swagger, your cool, who you are, your identity\u2014everything. My identity was an actor, and a really good one. And once you don\u2019t have that identity, you\u2019re kind of lost in a tailspin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMcDonough has been acting since 1990 and just headlined the Angel Studios drama film \u201cThe Last Rodeo,\u201d in which he played a former bull-riding world champion who returns to the rodeo later in life in order to win money for his grandson\u2019s brain tumor surgery. The film opened in theaters in late May and grossed $15 million on a production budget in the $8 million range.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn recent years, McDonough has been more known for his television work. He appeared on six episodes of \u201cYellowstone\u201d as Malcolm Beck and on seven episodes of \u201c9-1-1: Lone Star\u201d as Sergeant Ty O\u2019Brien. He reunited with \u201cYellowstone\u201d creator Taylor Sheridan for a series regular role opposite Sylvester Stallone on the second season of \u201cTulsa King,\u201d which streams on Paramount+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Neal McDonough, the veteran character actor who has appeared in everything from \u201cBand of Brothers\u201d to \u201cDesperate Housewives,\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34894,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,14520],"class_list":["post-34893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-neal-mcdonough"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
