Neal McDonough is one of those actors that you know very well by face, but not by name. He turns up everywhere in film and television without ever seeming to get star billing. Now you've seen his face again here, try to remember his name! McDonough's success in acting is all the more remarkable when you consider that he has a major limitation - he absolutely refuses to kiss anybody, ever, other than his wife. He's convinced that doing so would be contrary to his Christian faith.
At one point, McDonough was cast in 'Scoundrels,' and was having a pretty good time with it until he found out he was scheduled to do a love scene with Virginia Madsen. McDonough refused. It was nothing against Madsen in particular; he just wouldn't have done it with anyone. In the end, McDonough was fired from the show, with David James Elliott filling his shoes.
