I became a fan of Neal McDonough when he was in the TV series Boomtown. I thought that show, at least during the first season when each story was told in a non linear fashion, with each character's view adding a new detail (thanks wikipedia), was brilliant. I remember watching the very first episode and telling my husband how oddly it was put together, but that he must watch the next episode with me. Mr. McDonough's acting was also outstanding and I quickly became a fan.
I had no idea he was Catholic until the original story of his refusing to do some steamy sex scenes in the series Scoundrels led to his being fired.
