Neal McDonough says he relied on faith after being blacklisted in Hollywood: 'You can get through anything'
Fox News
The former "Justified" "Desperate Housewives" actor is starring in a new film called "Boon."
"There was a time when I wasn’t working," the 56-year-old told Fox News Digital. "I couldn’t get a job because people thought I was this crazy religious guy. But that wasn’t the case. I love my wife, but I love my acting too. I was hopeful that, at some point, someone would give me a chance again."
The devout Catholic’s clause wasn’t new. From 2008 to 2009, McDonough starred in "Desperate Housewives" where he played Nicolette Sheridan’s husband. McDonough had a no-kissing rule that prompted the show’s creator, Marc Cherry, to get creative with his writing. McDonough, who married his wife Ruvé in 2003, has said, "I won’t kiss any other woman because these lips are meant for one woman."
