Actor Neal McDonough, known for his role in ‘Yellowstone,’ recently appeared on Fox News to discuss his new movie with Angel Studios and the evolving landscape of Hollywood. As a father of five, McDonough attributes much of his perseverance in the entertainment industry to his faith. He claims that after being blacklisted in 2010 for refusing on-screen sex scenes, it was his beliefs that helped him through challenging times.
In a conversation with Will Cain on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime,’ McDonough shared optimistic thoughts about changes occurring in Hollywood, particularly against what he describes as the “woke agenda.”
Hollywood veteran Neal McDonough tells me faith-based films ARE making a difference in Hollywood: “Never, ever, EVER have I seen before 4 or 5 [studios] saying, ‘oh by the way, if you have something of faith, we’re very interested this year.’ Something’s CHANGED.” pic.twitter.com/kQ6vFBDn5k

During their discussion, Will Cain expressed admiration for McDonough’s work and mentioned a scene from another Taylor Sheridan show, ‘Landman.’ This scene highlighted the significance of oil and gas compared to wind energy, underscoring how vital these resources are to our world. Neal McDonough praised Taylor Sheridan’s ability to create pro-American films and reminisced about watching Cain spar with Stephen A. Smith on ESPN.
McDonough also spoke passionately about his collaboration with Angel Studios alongside his wife Ruvé. Their film ‘Homestead’ recently premiered and has been well-received by audiences who appreciate family-oriented storytelling. He encouraged viewers to support similar projects by filmmakers like the Erwin Brothers, Kendricks, and Dallas Jenkins at Angel Studios. These films focus on themes that families can enjoy together and discuss afterward.
Will Cain noted how rich America’s cultural landscape is for storytelling, which aligns with the growing interest in faith-based content within Hollywood. According to McDonough, this shift is evident as networks increasingly seek out such projects due to their profitability and appeal among audiences.
