Actor Neal McDonough says he lost a job because he refused to do a sex scene

[Humble Narcissist]

This shit makes me crazy. Heath Ledger "living as the Joker" which eventually lead to his death. Daniel Day Lewis forcing everyone to address him as the President off camera. Gandolfini basically killing himself between scenes to play Tony Soprano. IT'S CALLED ACTING FOR A REASON. Give me a fucking break.

Christian Bale will end up killing himself as a method actor.  Dropping all of that weight for The Machinist and juicing for the DarkKnight movies and gaining fat for American Hustle and Vice (40 lbs of blubber).

How did he force anyone to call him president??
Did he put a gun to their heads - only those likely employed by him or the lame weak willed
Would’ve called President.

Sean Penn does the same sort of crap when on set.  Pretending is such a demanding job.  FTN.

“I won’t kiss any other woman because these lips are meant for one woman,” McDonough said of his wife.

“When [creator] Marc Cherry signed me, I said, ‘I’m sure you know, but I won’t kiss anybody,'” McDonough recalled. “He was like, ‘But this is Desperate Housewives!’ I said, ‘I know.’ He paused for about five seconds and said, ‘All right, I’m just going to have to write better.’

The father of five was then asked whether he was surprised when his stance on sex scenes got him “fired from Scoundrels,” which aired on ABC from June to August 2010 before it was canceled. McDonough had been cast on the show but was replaced by another actor after three days, reportedly because he wouldn’t film sex scenes with the show’s star, Virginia Madsen. At the time, the network chalked it up to a simple casting change. ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“I was [surprised], and it was a horrible situation for me,” McDonough said. “After that, I couldn’t get a job because everybody thought I was this religious zealot. I am very religious. I put God and family first and me second. That’s what I live by. It was hard for a few years. Then [Band of Brothers producer] Graham Yost called me and said, ‘Hey, I want you to be the bad guy on Justified. I knew that was my shot back at the title.”

He's in the wrong profession.

He's in the wrong profession.

He's done quite well for himself in that profession though, even with his principles.

[Equalizer]

what if every woman in movie history would've refused any nude scenes, kisses, touching etc would you "admire her courage of her convictions" "a decent woman by the soundof it"


but why stop there? let's have actors, refuse to play certain roles, use certain language etc.

that should do wonders for the movie making...

They all have that choice on what roles there willing to take on. Most of the time nude/sex scenes don't actually add anything to the plot of the movie itself. There just thrown in there. How many actors do you know of that got there breakout role because of a nude scene they did.

[mazrim]

How did he force anyone to call him president??
Did he put a gun to their heads - only those likely employed by him or the lame weak willed
Would’ve called President. 

I wonder if he used an outhouse instead of the bathroom to stay in character.

When he's the star of the movie and your job (as well as others) depends on keeping him happy..you feed the delusion.

Acting is clearly a skill, especially those who could play many different personalities.

Actors and celebrities live under a microscope even more so than politicians do. People's bad behavior exists throughout society and not just with people who are constantly in or seeking to be in the spotlight.

I have several friends in the business and know it well enough via said friendship to comment with more authority than a few here.  And that's pretty much all you need to know. Whether or not you accept it matters little in the grand scheme of things. 

By the way, Sean Penn is a fuckwad.

People they can’t stand who have authority over them.
Yet they keep their jobs & get promotion etc.

Yeah acting really is a Tough & Demanding

EVERYone acts. Rap stars, children, legit retards, pop stars ... Actors are a dime a down. Some folks are better than others, sure, but in a general sense, acting is not some great skill.

“Oh, the craft ... “

Fuck off with that noise.

Most of the time, a “great actor” is thought to be so because of a good part (screenwriting, etc.), because they’re charismatic/attractive/interesting in front of a camera, because there is a synergy between their own personality and the role type they mostly inhabit, etc.

This mystique of the actor (as extraordinarily skilled/talented) fabricated by the industry is a great, big ruse.

The idiot masses have just bought into it, fuelled by outrageous celebrations like The Oscars, etc.

It’s fucking acting.

There are fewer people on this planet who can adequately piece together plumbing for your house than people who could do a more than decent job acting a part.

 

[Humble Narcissist]

I'd make her brush her teeth (with a tooth brush) and use mouthwash first.
