Neal McDonough Event

Neal McDonough studied acting at the London Academy of Dramatic Arts and Sciences after graduating from Syracuse University in 1988. A character actor and leading man, McDonough essayed flinty, often dangerous roles in films and on television throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s until he came to the attention of Steven Spielberg, who cast him in pivotal roles in both his HBO production “Band of Brothers” (2001) and “Minority Report” (2002). The exposure gained him a foothold in Hollywood, where he impressed on both the small screen with “Boomtown” (NBC, 2002-03), which brought him both praise from the press and a Golden Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2004, and in theaters with Clint Eastwood’s “Flags of Our Fathers” (2005). He continued to divide his time between mediums for the next few years, garnering positive press for turns like his unstable salary man on “Desperate Housewives” (ABC, 2004- ) while solidifying his status as one of the most dependable performers in the business.
