Neal McDonough: Hollywood Turned on Me and I Lost Everything

Neal McDonough was at the top of his game: an actor with credits in Band of Brothers, Minority Report, and Flags of Our Fathers. But when he refused to film intimate scenes out of conviction and respect for his wife, Hollywood turned on him. He lost roles, his home, his identity and for a time, nearly himself. In this deeply personal conversation, Neal opens up to Tim and Troy about what it felt like to be blacklisted, the drinking problem that followed, and the divine voice that ultimately pulled him out. They talk about career comebacks, family, fatherhood, faith, and the surprising kiss that marked his return to filmmaking on his own terms. This is more than a Hollywood story. It's about resilience, clarity, and the strength to stand by your values when the world tells you not to.
