Actor Neal McDonough has opened up about one of the most difficult periods of his career, claiming he was labelled a 'religious nut' in Hollywood after refusing to perform intimate scenes on screen, a decision he says ultimately cost him work, financial stability, and even his home.
Best known for roles in Band of Brothers, Minority Report, and Desperate Housewives, McDonough has long maintained a personal rule against filming romantic or sex scenes with women other than his wife, model Ruvé Robertson, whom he married in 2003. The actor, who is openly Catholic, has repeatedly said his faith and family come before his career.
