If it is true, I like and admire him even more.
I always admire those who stand up for their principles. Too bad there are none in government.
If true, he’s to be admired and respected.
Too bad pop culture does not hold him up as a role model and chooses, instead, the scumbags of the entertainment industry.
My answer to that one is: Why do you think there is so much divorce in hollywood? Try doing a love scene(pretend even) with a co-worker you find attractive and see how long your marriage lasts.
Me too. It’s refreshing to see some one from Hollywood stand by their principles...
Virginia Madsen is a smoking hot MILF.
I admire his ability of self-restraint, if not his decision.
Ya’ll should check out the fantasy miniseries ‘Tin Man’. He played the lead character in a revisionist version of Wizard of Oz, where the tin man is so-called because he’s a cop and wears a tin star. Ends too abruptly but far better than the usual Syfy miniseries or feature event.
Looking him up he was the blond man who played Lt Buck Compton on Band of Brothers. He was very good in the role.
As to his problem with the new role though, this makes little sense. The actors would be advised up front what sort of scenes would be required for the new role. If he couldn’t do love scenes, he had no business accepting the job.
Bailing on the producers on such short notice for such a cause will do him real harm. Hollywood might respect his principles but certainly not his professionalism.
If you have principles, they won’t like you in Hollyweird
Neal McDonough and family at Time for Heroes
Actor Neal McDonough, 42, his wife Ruvé Robertson and children Morgan, 2, and Catherine ‘Cate’ Maggie, 8 months, attended the A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival on Sunday, June 8th. The event benefited the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and was held at the Wadsworth Theater in Los Angeles, CA
I really like him as an actor, but I tried watching “Tin Man” last night with him in it. Whoa, what a stinker. The story was okay, but the acting was less than stellar and the dialog was just downright painful.

I think we found your doppelgänger.
Good for him. Integrity is a rare trait in Hollywood ... or in any public life, really (Tiger Woods, John Edwards).
Haven’t seen this guy in much — I think he was in a Star Trek movie several years back, and Minority Report. Haven’t watched Band of Brothers yet.

The reason? He’s a family man and a Catholic, and he’s always made it clear that he won’t do sex scenes. And ABC knew that
Wow..they lost a great actor. He plays a really creepy bad guy. The show would be better WITH him, than with a “hot” sex scene. Sex scenes are stupid anyway. No one watches a show for them. If they want to watch sex, they fire up the computer and watch the real thing. People like stories.
The highest selling movies had NO sex in them at all.
I commend him for his principles, even if it meant his job, but I don’t understand why he would want to be a part of those shows in the first place.
