Neal McDonough has built an unforgettable career playing some of Hollywood’s most memorable heroes and villains—from Band of Brothers and Yellowstone to Tulsa King. But behind the characters is a man whose faith and personal convictions nearly cost him everything.

McDonough joins Raymond Arroyo to reveal why he refused to cross certain lines on screen, the devastating career setback that followed, and how faith, family, and sobriety helped pull him through his darkest years. He also opens up about working with Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Costner, why he refuses to watch his own performances, the role that changed his life, and how he’s finally making movies on his own terms.
