This guy plays the best villain in every show/movie
Good in Minority Report, too, as I recall?
@@ZephaniahL he was brilliant in that movie even though he technically wasn’t a villain
So good in Justified
Also good in Walking Tall
@@TBass050 I totally forgot he was in walking tall
Leave it to a strong Christian man who knows what the opposite of a villain is to play a perfect villain
Neal McDonough isn't exactly a household name, but he's definitely a recognizable face.
He's almost everywhere lol in tv or movie
Better to be lesser known,than to be nude on tv
@@bunnyban5365 how? I’ve only seen him in the tv show arrow. In season 4 which was the worst season.
@@damiantirado9616 captain america, suits, yellowstone, minority report, greater, game over man
@@teo2157 when was he in captain America? I don’t watch suits and if you ask the average person suits isn that big of a show.
Greater? Have no idea what that is. Minority report was 20 years ago. Kevin Sorbo was still in the Hercules tv show at that time.
He was great in band of brothers.. as a infantryman I fully believed him.
I have read that Neal won’t even do a kissing scene because of respect for his wife and children. Excellent Catholic 🙏🏻
Not an excellent catholic. An excellent man, husband and person.
@@donurquhart9764 agreed
He swears alot though in Yellowstone
@SteveHewittMusic
Yea he does not seem to respect GODs name as I've heard him say GD and he's also dropped the Fbomb
One of my favorite character actors. Never disappoints, especially at a villain. Glad to see Mr. McDonough in Yellowstone giving Costner a run for his money.
His portrayal of Damien Darhk was so good i can't look at him without getting scared
The fight scenes were crap though. Not his fault. He was great in Captain America.
"Trust is an orchid, beautiful but delicate, requiring ideal conditions in order to thrive. Without those conditions, it dies"
For real! Seeing him on Arrow was the first thing I’d ever seen him in, and he was fantastic. He was also good on Legends of Tomorrow, a little mustache twirly, but still fantastic.
That’s one of the worst shows of all time lol get some taste
@@niyantsroom6561 Cope all you want Karen.
Did not expect to see this pop up in my feed today, but so glad it did! I love Mr. McDonough’s voice acting work as Green Arrow in the characters DC Showcase, and I’m really glad he got to reprise that role in the most recently in Green Lantern: Beware My Power. Hopefully he gets to be the Emerald Archer more often.
Even in small roles Neal is always great.
The Guardian, Forever Strong, Minority Report, Suits, etc.... always enjoyed his performances.
What an amazing man. Always delighted to see him in films and shows. From The Hitcher and Band of Brothers as well as Flags of our Fathers and Red 2.
I loved his role in the Syfy mini series Tin Man. He and Alan Cumming were marvelous in their roles.
I looooved that series. Azkadellia was smokin hot when she let the monkeys fly
Oh crap I totally forgot about that show! Thank you for that blast from the past
Alan Cumming and the word "marvelous" do not mesh.
His role in Justified was terrifying/incredible
One the best TV series there is, definitely in my top ten. The writing was fantastic.
Neal McDonough is great loved him in minority report and man it’s sad he is blacklisted
The more talented people that Hollywood blacklists, the more great professionals that will be available to help build the new Conservative Alternative to Hollywood.
Pureflix doesn't really have a high standard of quality, but they were something. Daily Wire is something else. Maybe not cranking out masterpieces, but they ARE creating an outlet. The folks behind The Chosen.
It isn't going to stop here. When "the monopoly" stops serving a segment of the audience, then SOMEONE will come along and serve that audience, and grow that audience.
Before you know it, Hollywood themselves will run back to the center and try to be neutral, centrist, or even put on a facade of Conservatism to win viewers back again. But their replacement will already have arrived.
@@creategreatness8823 I Think Jesus Revolution will surprise people with how good it is.
@@robertthebruce7176 And I will always be rooting for any alternative to Hollywood. The alternatives have to start somewhere. Not all entertainment must be overtly Christian or Conservative and not all entertainment must be purely wholesome and morally pure....but if that kind of entertainment can be done WELL when others(like Hollywood) refuse to embrace that kind of traditional and wholesome storytelling....then I will ALWAYS be rooting for those storytellers.
I'm a big fan of some anime mostly because some of the best are either traditional, straightforward depictions of heroism and adventure or are irreverent and focused purely on entertainment...and they feature essentially zero "modern US social or political agendas" and are just free of that, focusing on being good fiction.
I genuinely did not know he was a conservative. Absolutely stunned they actually casted him The Flash since CW is extremely woke.
Glad to hear Kevin Sorbo is as great as imagined. Neal's a prince, and every series he's participated in is enriched. Looking forward to watching more of him on the screen.
I have "Tin Man" on DVD where Neal McDonough plays a hero. It's nice to know that he is a Christian and stands firm in his beliefs and faith. I'm also glad to see more and more quality Christian movies and TV shows that doesn't have the cheesy acting. Christians ih Australia are also wanting quality entertainment, so please keep it coming.
McDonough played an excellent bad guy in Yellowstone, too. What a fine actor! Looking forward to seeing the upcoming film.
We never actually saw him die on Yellowstone. I hope he comes back.
Wonderful man, great actor, classy human being. Thank you for having Neal on!
Just saw him in the movie left behind, I really loved this film we are so close to be reunited with our Lord
Love that man in Justified. Great actor.
Robert Quarrels was epic. That track sleeve gun is awesome!
Hugh respect for Neal. Don’t think I could kiss a stranger and not have it effect me.
What he's saying isn't Christian. It's moral, but Christianity isn't about acting right. It's about how right Jesus is before God. He gives us his righteousness.
Not trying to get on a soapbox, just clarifying for anybody who might want the clarification
Such a great actor. With his unique looks I feel like he would be a leading man if it wasn’t for the hate and disdain Hollywood has for people of faith
I would love to see him play Eisenhower in a biographical piece surrounding the war years. He reminds me of a young Eisenhower. I see it as being a great hit👍
I agree. He actually played Eisenhower in the last season of American Horror Story! The season was divided into two stories; the first was about vampires, the second was about aliens. I stopped watching the vampire one since it was trash (as is most of AHS, I don't know what I was thinking giving it another chance) but I decided to check out the alien story when I saw Neal was playing Dwight and Sarah Paulson was Mamie Eisenhower. Needless to say they were both terrific and yes, he was the PERFECT Eisenhower but the modern day part of the story was completely uninteresting. Still worth checking out if you have Hulu; it's only four episodes long. Just be prepared to scroll on your phone through much of it
I had no idea he is a conservative and a Christian. I’ve seen him in so many things, usually as a really great villain. He sets a really great example.
Like Andrew, I first encountered Neal in his role as the psychopathic hit man Robert Quarles on season 3 of one of my favorite shows, Justified (it speaks to how mesmerizing he was that I remember his character's name!). Since then he always commands my attention whenever he appears onscreen. I'm happy to hear he is making his own movies now and getting involved in projects that reflect his values. I will seek out this film he is promoting as it looks like it is tackling the W E F 's agenda head on. Well done Mr. McDonough!
He looks even better now that he's a little older. I respect this guy and his values.
Great actor.
Great human.
Great interview!!
I first heard of him in the CW show Arrow playing as Damien Dhark
First saw him as Lt. Hawk in Star Trek: First Contact. Small role, but he played it well.
I remember he was an officer you could assign to your ship in the game Star Trek: Starship Creator. Loved that game as a kid.
I remember his role in desperate housewives, lol. He's a great actor
What a humble, good man
Always loved him as an actor. But like him more after hearing his personal views and faith.
Great video (as per usual)
Really appreciate the things Neal had to say.
I remember him from Star Trek and Captain America, great actor.
He’s great!! And plays the best bad guys!! Just great.
Andrew thanks for arranging this interview. Neal was inspiring. Thank you so much!
I've been binging on "Medical Investigation." Neal does a good job. I'm so happy he is making his own films.
I already heard this interview but it's was so good I had to listen twice.
Band of brothers was when I first saw this guy and more recently Yellowstone, like this guy,good actor and seems like a even better man
Legend! He was brilliant in band of brothers
Ironically, NMcD is consistently cast as a villain. In life he may be the greatest hero.
I've seen him in a bunch of things but I had no idea about him as a person. Very good interview
I first saw I first saw him in Tin Man and then band of brothers. Great actor. I’m glad Andrew had him on the show 👍🏼.
He was on this cop show that got canceled in season one, the show was really good, and different, told from different viewpoints, sometimes the same scene replayed over. He was a sleazy lawyer...can't recall name of show. Justified and Band of Brothers...awesome performances. Ok, show was 'Boomtown'...disappointed it was canceled.
I loved boomtown
I loved Boomtown as well.
I love it. People like Mr McDonough (and Kevin Sorbo, etc) really are beginning to build a viable alternative to main stream Hollywood. This is a group of people who truly are "stunning and brave".
Loved Neil in Arrow and Suits.
I'm sure I've seen him in other stuff.
I didn't actually know he was in Justified, never made it that far but now I want to watch the rest of it!
Enjoyed this conversation. 😊
Klavan* really does have great guests, great interviews & conversations.
*there is no 'e' in Klavan 🎶🎶
Had no clue this guy was a Conservative Christian. Kind of weird because I know him as a villain in the DC Universe
First saw this guy in Minority Report & Band Of Brothers, really great actor!
Playing the villain means you get to create the hero. In playing great villains, Neal has created some amazing heroes and I am very thankful.
I remember Neal playing the pitcher in Angels in the Outfield
If Mr. McDonough, you see this, I've watched you through your career. Movies and TV. Sir, you did your father proud. You gave $2 for the buck they gave ya.
Listened to this interview with tears of pride/shame/agreement.
Thank you, Andrew and Neal.
God Bless you both
Neil was the actor that I never knew his name but was always impressed by his acting. It's only been recently that I found out about his character and it makes me appreciate his acting all the more.
Good show Andrew. I wish you guys would’ve told us where to see “Left Behind”. I’ve been googling where to watch it and looking at local theaters and nothing. ☹️
Pure flix
@@Kwildcat13 thanks
I've always enjoyed Neal McDonough as an actor but I have a new found respect for him as a man. It takes courage to hold fast to your belief in God in his profession. God bless him.
Funny how life is. One of the most Villainous looking actors is actually one of the nicest people in the business.
This is a fantastic interview. What a cool dude, too genuine for Hollywood! Loved his villainous roles in Walking Tall, Minority Report, Red 2, Paul Blart 2 (the only good thing about that film), and my two top favorites: Malcom Beck in Yellowstone Season 2 & Robert Quarrels in Justified Season 3.
I first saw him in Band of Brothers as Buck Compton, and have loved him ever since!
One of my favorite guys. Some of his early work is wonderful, obviously Band of Brothers. Boomtown was a great role for him as well.
Buck Compton!!!! So wonderful to see such a great actor on here!!
Dailywire should do movies with Mc Donough and Kirk Cameron
I recall (there may be some mis-remembering) a Wall Street Journal article from the first-decade. It described Mr. McDonough's home life and the Hollywood people who were attracted to its welcoming and genial and familial normality. I also seem to remember that he is a Catholic. The impression never left me. As the late John Gregory Dunne once wrote when describing Hollywood -- for the most part it's a normal company town. At least behind the camera and among the scores of people who bring a film to the screen of your local cinema-plex.
Thank you for this--both of you. Mr. M. has always been a favorite. He was perfection in Justified (as was everyone), and he was both a Howling Commando (Captain America First Avenger) and a Screaming Eagle (Band of Brothers). Sublime.
Great interview. Loved him in Band of Brothers
Glad he’s on! Great guy. Hope it doesn’t ruin his career
Great interview ❤
Kudos to neil for standing up for himself and his beliefs. Hollywood is filled with weirdos,perverts and pedos
Great interview!
God Bless you Neal and Andrew.
Amazing!!
Nice job interview. Hope he gets it.
I worked at a bar on Sunset yrs ago before hollywood imploded..I used to see Neil there often and at Barney's and we used to chop it up, have some laughs, talk sports etc..he doted on his wife and was always a gentleman..glad he's still doin his thing...
One of those guys you don’t see all that often, but when you do, he’s awesome. Glad to see he’s doing well.
The first movie I saw him and was Ravenous, and he stole the show!
Neal McDonough!!! Famous for his role in Star Trek: First Contact!!!!
Love the discussion, EXEPT where Neal said that all people who worship a God are equal and true.
"You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe and tremble." James 2:19.
Christ said, “I am The Way, and The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" and...
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice...Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers..." - John 1:1-3, 9-8
I always wanted him to play Duke Nukem back in the day when there was still a chance of that movie being made. Loved him in Ravenous, Justified, and Band of Brothers
Phenomenal performance in Justified!
I been a fan Neal McDonough for years.
right on
He was in Yellowstone playing one of the Beck Brothers.
Neal McDonough started off as a comedic actor. I first noticed him as the brainless and hammy baseball pitcher Whit Bass, in the 1994 Disney film "Angels in the Outfield". I lost track of him for a long time after that, but he made a very good villain on "Arrow".
😊Thank you!
Oh I loved him in Band of Brothers!
Step One: Get famous _BEFORE_ anyone knows.
Wow I love this actor! Too bad this interview will probably ruin his career 😢
He's so right about all people being children of God. However , as a Catholic, he also knows that when we receive The Holy Eucharist, we ARE receiving The Actual Body and Blood if The Glorified Christ.
Wow.... what a wonderfulll human... way to go Neal...God Bless you...and your whole family....Now.... if everybody follow your advice on Christianity the world would have been a better place
Yall at the Daily Wire need to get this man in a movie with you
No wonder all of his roles are memorable! He seems like a very wise and grounded person, but sadly those traits are exactly what will keep him from being accepted back in Hollywood. Hope he finds success outside of that cesspool.
When I imagine the look of a real-life M. Bison, I still think of Neal McDonough, even though that Street Fighter film he was in wasn’t good. Hats off to him being a solid guy in real life, too.
I always thought Neal was under-utilized in BOB, and in other roles. He’s good enough to be the lead. It’s Hollywood’s loss, but it’s too bad they’re so intolerant and too scared to make the kind of films that would shine a light on this guy. Great example of a man with an eternal vision.
Conservative and Christian, those two words can't make it in Hollywood. He's brave
We just finished watching the Beck brothers meet the demise on Yellowstone last week. He definitely can play the bad guy very well. I think he was the heavy in Walking Tall with the Rock also.
I like Neill, he was great in Band of Brothers. I've seen him in other programs and movies. He can play some really scary & bad dudes. I'm actually going to look for & watch the movie with Kevin Sorbo and anything else he/ they make. It would be awesome if people like Neill, Kevin, Andrew Klavan could HELP take back the culture.
Love what Ive seen of Neil's work. Now that being said I go off topic. look up Graham Yost's dad Elwy Yost. He kept classic cinema alive for so many people with his Magic Shadows show on TVO in the 80s.
This is the first...and im still memorizing the actors name ur talking about here but he has been in alot of movies before band of brothers...he was antagonist in walking tall with the rock. He is a great actor...neal mcdounha well i can't spell it so i doubt ill remember it but i can't forget his face lol
I know it is small screen TV stuff, but Neal McDonough played a great villain in the Arrow Verse TV shows. Just great acting from him.
I guess I'm old. I remember him in Ravenous, way back in the day.
