0:04 That's bullspend, and marketers are calling it out in dashboard confessions.
0:09 My boss asked for results, so I opened my dashboard for the only positive-sounding metric I had, impressions.
0:16 Cut the bullspend. See revenue, not just reach.

0:30 This is Undaunted Life of Man's Podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:56 All right, guys, you've got a very special guest on the podcast today. His name is Neil McDonough,
1:00 so he is an actor. And, guys, if you are not watching this on YouTube or on Rumble,
1:04 if you don't recognize the name, you're definitely going to recognize the face because this guy
1:07 has been one of the most active actors that we have seen really over the last several decades.
1:12 What most of you will probably recognize him from is he played Buck Compton and Band of Brothers.
1:16 And so for the moment, I said that some of you guys knew exactly who he was and exactly the parts
1:21 that we're probably going to talk about on this particular podcast today. But he's also been in
1:24 a bunch of other movies and TV shows. He was in Star Trek, first contact, Minority Report,
1:29 Captain America, the first Avenger, Yellowstone, Justified, Tulsa King. And yes, yes, yes. I know
1:33 you guys are a big fan of this show, Desperate Housewives, right? So he had a nice couple of
1:37 dozen episode run on that show. But here recently, he's been the part of several projects with Angel
1:43 Studios. And so he did the shift where he played the benefactor, otherwise known as Satan.
1:47 He did Homestead. So we talked to Ben Smallbone last year about the Homestead series. So he's kind
1:51 of the main guy in that. And then today, we spend most of our time talking about the last rodeo.
1:55 And I say time, we did not have very much time today because I got contacted yesterday by Angel
2:01 Studios. And here we are a couple of months before this comes out. But I got contacted. They're like,
2:04 Hey, you were the first person we reached out. Can you do tomorrow? And it's like, yes, we can do
2:07 tomorrow. But hey, we only have 30 minutes. And wouldn't you know, the moment we get to the room,
2:11 we have tech issues, which I'm sure my editor right now, it's just dying laughing because if these
2:16 fingers touch anything tech related for whatever reason, even if it's never not worked before,
2:21 it's going to stop working at that exact moment. So we lost about a third of our interview time,
2:25 just trying to get this camera to hook up to this camera and the microphones above the block.
2:28 So if it seems like we're going pretty fast, it's because we are because we had roughly about 18
2:32 minutes to do our entire conversation. But we did talk about how he was a very active actor,
2:37 how he's always been an active actor, but also how his life kind of fell apart. Not that long ago,
2:42 he really kind of fell into alcohol. He lost a lot of his work because he refused to do sex
2:49 scenes and he refused to do kissing scenes with anyone other than his wife and his wife is not a
2:53 professional actress. And so that's in his contract, but he lost some work because of that. He lost
2:57 his house, he lost a bunch of stuff that was going on at the time. And he really leaned on alcohol.
3:01 So we spend a little bit of time talking about, okay, what's your advice to guys that are in the
3:05 process of or post their their lives blowing up or blowing their own lives up? What would you tell
3:10 these guys about how they should get through it? And faith is really the core of the answer he gave.
3:14 So we have to stick around for that. We do talk about the new movie, The Last Rodeo.
3:19 We talk about it was filmed here in Oklahoma. Why in the world did he do this film? Where did the
3:23 idea come from? But if you stay with us until the very, very end, I asked him a couple of questions
3:27 and he got a little choked up with one of them. But I asked him if he had to leave one acting
3:33 performance, either in television or in a movie, one acting performance that that was all could be
3:38 left for humanity. And that's how we would know the name Neil McDonough. What would that performance
3:42 be? And then I asked him, what's the one line that you delivered in any of your performance?
3:48 That if we had to delete everything else would be the one line you would leave for humanity.
3:53 Guys, it's a short one. So don't miss any second of it. You guys can just stay here. It's an awesome,
3:58 awesome conversation. Hopefully we'll get them on here for a much longer one here in the future.
4:01 But for now, without further ado, let's get into it. Neil McDonough, I would give you my normal
4:07 welcome, which is welcome to Undone Life of Man's podcast. But you and I have been facing the
4:11 demon of bad tech issues. And now here we are having to make magic with short time period. Are
4:16 you ready to go? Are you ready to do this thing? Never quit. Never give up. That's it, right?
4:19 Yeah, that's basically it. And that's basically where we're going to go from the beginning. Now,
4:23 you have a face that everybody would recognize that's watching this right now because you've
4:27 been in everything. Okay. And so my biggest question, I guess, from the beginning, because there's no
4:31 way really to get into your background and how'd you get into acting and what's all your favorite
4:35 colors and everything. You were one of the most, I guess, accomplished actors that I've seen because
4:41 you're just in everything and you seem to be constantly working. And so tell me a little bit
4:45 about that because you see people that have these careers that are either short-lived or
4:49 they go real hot and then they go real cold for a very long time. But you've just been consistently
4:54 working as an actor for a very, very long time. How in the world are you doing it?
4:57 I'm like an old Labrador. I just don't know when to stop. I just keep pushing forward,
5:01 pushing forward, pushing forward. And I love what I do. So it's the only job I've ever had, really.
5:06 So I wouldn't know what else to do. My wife laughs at me, Ravey. She's like, you can't pound a nail.
5:13 You can't tell a joke, but man, you can act. And I found my gift early on. And it's not my gift.
5:20 It's a gift that God just put inside me and has nothing to do with me. I'm just a vessel for
5:23 whatever he wants me to do. And I've just been really fortunate to be able to have a career where
5:28 I can do films and TV and stage and commercials or video games or whatever. And it just keep on
5:34 working. And I'm a very, very blessed man. Well, Neil, even in that answer, you touched on a
5:41 couple of things that I wanted to talk to you about because you've talked about on other shows
5:45 before about how you've maybe lost some work because of out of respect for your wife and your
5:50 faith that you won't do kissing scenes with other women or sex scenes. And I mean, we've even seen
5:54 you kind of play both sides. So in the shift, you played the benefactor, which is a Satan character.
5:59 But then you also, as far as my research tells me, in the truth and life, dramatize audio,
6:05 New Testament Bible, you played Jesus. So you've played all sections of this thing. And so your
6:10 faith, but also really your adherence to a specific kind of morality has had to have maybe had an
6:16 impact on your Hollywood career. Has it caused you to lose roles? Has it caused you to have
6:21 some unneeded setbacks? Well, yeah, I think everyone knows about 10, 12 years ago, I did a
6:25 project where I got fired because I wouldn't do an intimate scene. It's in my contract. I won't
6:29 kiss another woman on screen. That one hurt. You know, that that was two years of, as I've said,
6:37 you know, they took everything away from me. My house was taken away, my cars,
6:40 my image, my everything. And there wasn't a bottle of bourbon that I didn't have my name on for
6:45 about two years straight. And it was hard. It was hard on Rivey was, I'm sure it was hard
6:50 in the kids. I hit it pretty well from everyone. But Rivey was there with me the whole way, just
6:55 waiting for me to get through it. And I finally got through and when I asked God, why have you
7:00 forgotten about me? And as soon as those words came out of my mouth, Kyle, I realized I made
7:04 everything about me. And I didn't make anything about servicing God and doing his work or giving
7:11 him glory. And then I just pivoted. And yes, I had to keep on playing bad guys because I won't
7:17 kiss another woman on the screen. But then I started precincting our own films. And when we did,
7:21 the first one we did was called Greater, which we shot not very far from you guys in Arkansas.
7:25 And it was one of those films that made me realize that I get so many people coming up to me
7:30 for greater saying, thank you for making such an awesome movie. Because it was a first one we
7:34 produced. And it just kind of, it was this epiphany went off in my head, wow, I can actually start
7:41 building things from the ground up. And then a couple years later, I did my first movie with my
7:46 writing partner, Dark Presley. And we did Redstone about a hitman who finds his faith again. And
7:52 then we did part two and Boone, I wrote that one with him. And then we started doing more and
7:56 more films that Ravey and I would produce. And my wife, Ravey, she's a beast. She can raise financing
8:01 like nobody else. And you know, sitting now, we're about to start our 11th project. And here we are
8:06 talking about our favorite one of all that comes out in two months, the last rodeo that I wrote and
8:11 produce alongside my wife, Ravey, and I got to star in it and have my dream team. Michael T.
8:18 Williamson and Michael T. Williamson and Chris McDonald are two of my very, very best friends on
8:22 the planet. And to have them in the film with me was amazing. And to have John Avnett, my favorite
8:26 director of all time, to direct the film. These are all things that are gifts completely from God.
8:32 And I know that. And I'm fortunate enough to be able to understand that it's not me. These are
8:37 just gifts that God gave me. And I'm going to do everything I can to make sure I make the most
8:41 entertaining projects that I can possibly can for everybody. Neil, I appreciate that. And guys,
8:46 for those of you that are listening to this on time, the last rodeo comes out tomorrow.
8:50 You can go to the show notes and buy your tickets. Go check it out. It's very, very, very important
8:54 that you go see it opening weekend. Don't just get around to it and meander into the theater
8:58 next week. No, unacceptable. You got to go this weekend. We'll get into the last rodeo. But I do
9:02 want to back up real quick to something that you said, because there is a reason for that, Kyle.
9:06 If yeah, you know, the films that we're making, you look at Homestead, the film that we did a
9:10 few months ago also with Angel, this little $5 million film that, almost $25 million in the box
9:15 office. That's unheard of. Because we're making films that the Heartland of America wants to see,
9:21 because I think Hollywood kind of put the Heartland of America on the back burner for a while. And
9:26 they started making really dark, crazy stuff. And I'm guilty of being part of a lot of those films.
9:30 I have to make a living. I have five kids. School's not cheap. But it's, and I love working. I'm an
9:36 actor who loves to work. If you ask me to be any movie, I'm going to say yes. It's a sickness that
9:41 I have. And that's why I've been in 150 movies and a thousand hours of television, because I don't
9:47 know how to say no to anything, especially my kids. And here we are now making another film,
9:53 The Last Rodeo, which again, talks to the values of America, the Heartland of America. My parents
9:58 are both immigrants. They came over with nothing. And they instilled such American values into us
10:03 that now I get to write about these things. And this weekend, The Last Rodeo comes out that talks
10:06 about those things. So if you who are out there listening and watching this, if you love those
10:12 types of films that Angel's been producing, you have to go to the movie theater opening weekend,
10:17 bring the whole family. And these films, you don't have to cover your kids' eyes or ears at any
10:21 point during the movie. These are family films, but they talk about real life problems, death and
10:26 addictions and all kinds of stuff and how you get through it with faith. And I'm so proud of The Last
10:31 Rodeo. I know it's going to be a huge weekend. And I'm really looking forward to everyone going out
10:35 to the theater and supporting it. Please go support. Yeah, absolutely. Amen. Neil, that's part of the
10:40 shift in, you know, you could call faith based content or one of those types of things is a lot
10:44 of that stuff was way too predictable, way too cheesy, way too fluffy. And that just doesn't really
10:49 resonate anymore, especially with how we've kind of been ingrained in the darkness of our culture.
10:53 I do want to talk about the the angel products. But if we can go right back or the projects rather,
10:58 if we go back to something that you're talking about, where you're talking about your drinking,
11:01 which you've talked about openly, I talked to a 95% male audience. This is the number one podcast
11:06 in the world for Christian men. But we still got dudes in our audience that struggle mightily,
11:10 whether that be with alcohol, with line on their taxes, with cheating on their spouses with just
11:15 any type of behavior that they don't wish that they would perform anymore. But for whatever reason,
11:20 they still do it. It's got to hold them on on them, whether it's emotional or chemical or otherwise.
11:24 But for you, here you are on the other side of it. You can't connect the dots while you're in it,
11:28 but you can connect the dots looking backwards. What would you tell guys in my audience that are
11:32 kind of in that moment, they are either post blowing their lives up or they're in the process
11:36 of doing so? What would be your message to them? My life fell apart. And the crutch that I leaned
11:43 on was alcohol. When things get taken away from you and you start making it just about yourself
11:51 and you're wallowing in your own self pity, I just give me another drink, just give me another drink.
11:54 That'll make the pain go away. Well, the pain doesn't go away. At some point, you have to
11:58 address that pain and kick that pain's butt and get it out of the room. The only way to do that,
12:04 for me, was going to church all the time, talking to God all the time. I'm so blessed
12:10 that I get to have a partner in Rivet who waited patiently, got me through the situation, never
12:16 judge me, never got angry with me. It was just there just trying to help me get through it. I
12:19 couldn't get through it myself because I thought it was all about me. Oh my gosh, how can ever,
12:23 how could this world turn on me? How can I lose all my stuff? Well, it happens to everybody at some
12:29 point, but it's how you get through it after. Rivet gave me this one quote, here's the kind of
12:34 guy you want to be. You want to be the kind of guy that when he wakes up in the morning,
12:38 your two feet hit the floor, the devil says, oh, shoot, he's up. That's a challenge to every dude
12:44 who's watching the show. Alcohol is brutal. There's nothing good about it. I mean, there really isn't.
12:52 It takes you to horrible, dark places. The only way to have clarity in life is to be clear-minded,
12:58 isn't it? The only way to be a great dad, the only way to be a great husband, if you make
13:03 mistakes, well, my mistakes, we're all sinners, we're all idiots, we're all stupid at times,
13:07 we all do bad things. But it's how you dust yourself off that dictates what kind of man you are.
13:13 And if you can figure out that God loves you more than you could ever possibly imagine,
13:17 we're not always here for him, but he is always here for us waiting with his open arms,
13:22 ready to give you all the love and everything you need in life, what is stopping you? Take the
13:27 bottle, throw it in the trash like I did, get rid of that stuff, start manning up, start being
13:32 the dude that you're supposed to be, and not just for yourself, but for your wife, for your kids,
13:37 for your family, for your country, and for God. Once you start on that path, trust me,
13:42 dude, 10 years ago, I was a drunken mess with nothing. Now I'm about to start my 10th
13:48 move that I'm producing alongside my wife that gets a right. We raise the financing and people
13:53 have faith in us because I don't just have faith in myself. I have faith that God has my back.
13:58 If you have that, you'll get through it. Hey guys, real quick. I know a lot of you guys
14:03 struggle with getting a consistent workout routine. So wherever you get to, whether that's the global
14:08 gym or your home gym or even like a parking lot somewhere, you get there and then you don't know
14:12 what to do. You get there and you're just like, well, what in the world am I supposed to do today?
14:15 And just kind of meander around and maybe you're trying to get ready for like a mountain hunt in
14:19 the fall or you've got a mud race coming up or you just want to be generally a strong and fit dude
14:24 for normal everyday life. But you don't have a program that's tailored for you. I want you guys

16:21 Absolutely. And Neil, if you're two feet hit the floor and Satan has that reaction,
16:25 means you're doing stuff. Because if you're just going to be a slugger and sitting there,
16:28 like Satan's not going to be too concerned about you. But the moment you get in the game
16:31 and you start trying to push back darkness, that darkness is going to be pushing back
16:34 against you. And you better make sure that you have a foundation underneath your feet.
16:37 And it's not your own stick to itiveness. It's not your moxie. It's the lord of heaven and earth.
16:42 So let's go and talk a little bit more about the last rodeo. So again, guys, that is in theaters.
16:46 Tomorrow it has been, I think the film was mainly filmed here in the great state of Oklahoma.
16:51 So I appreciate you guys coming here. Yeah. So you are a big fan of Oklahoma,
16:54 even though you didn't know it until you came here. I fell in love with Tulsa. I'm going to stop.
16:59 Tulsa is the town. My dear friend Steve Mitchell is in Tulsa and he keeps on saying,
17:06 "When are you moving? When are you moving?" I loved the double-aid Dodgers team is right
17:11 downtown. The B.O.K. center. Tim McGraw played my first night. I was there. The great little
17:16 Artesian restaurants, a cool little music vibe. There's a real artistic vibe to something that I
17:21 never thought that I would find in cowboy country. And I was just floored by it. I love Tulsa. I love
17:27 everything about it. I've jogged all over that city up and down. We're getting in shape for the film.
17:32 I love that place, but it's the people of Tulsa that I just really just admire for their
17:36 sticking to their family values, sticking those all-American core values. I just loved it.
17:42 Well, and the land's pretty cheap out here. So you just let me know. We'll work it out. We
17:45 can get you moved to Oklahoma, no problem. But this is a movie that you didn't just star in,
17:50 that you also wrote this. You're the star character, Joe Wainwright. But there's some amazing performances
17:55 in this. I was just able to watch it last night. So just kind of give me the ideas to the impetus
17:59 behind this film. Where did the idea come from? And then let's talk about you bringing it to life.
18:04 We're doing another film at the time, "Revein I Were Preusing," this movie called "The Warren
18:08 Part II Breakers Law," which is this great western we did for INSP. And "Revein the Kids Were Home,"
18:13 and I was in Arizona filming. I was just missing them fierce. And this thought came through,
18:18 it was very dark thought. I said, "What would have happened to me if something ever happened to
18:21 Revein?" And I pulled over to the side of the road, and I just kind of got choked up, and it really
18:28 buckled me. And then I saw some horses in the background, and I swear that the Lord put this idea
18:33 in my head, write a movie about Rocky on a bull, about an aged rodeo star who has to go back and
18:42 ride to save his grandson's life. At the time, I'd never seen a rodeo. I didn't know anything about
18:48 bull riding. I knew nothing about it. And then within 24 hours, I voice-ticked it in my phone the
18:54 whole outline for the film. Then I sent it to my writing partner, Derek Presley, and within a week
18:59 we had the script done. And a week after that, Revei raised the money. They said, "Who do you
19:04 want to direct it?" And I said, "Well, I'd like to have John Abner directed. I want Michael T. Williamson
19:08 and Chris McDonald, my two best friends of being in the film." Okay. It was so ridiculously simple,
19:16 because I had nothing to do with it. This was God's will. This was him putting that seat in my head,
19:23 and me not wanting to let him down. It's as simple as that. And here I am now about to have
19:29 my favorite movie that I've ever been part of, that I'm so proud of. The first movie that I've
19:32 ever kissed a woman in, of course, is my wife, Revei, who I cast as my wife in the flashbacks.
19:38 All these amazing things are happening this weekend. And I've never been proud of anything
19:43 that I've ever done in my life, because I know it wasn't about me. It was about servicing him
19:48 and making a great film for everyone to go watch. Families, whole families, please go to the theater,
19:54 go see this and support films like this, because it will tell Hollywood, stop making all the dark
19:59 stuff. Let's go make some family films that the whole family can talk about after.
20:03 Well, let me go and tell you, my wife does not really do high drama very much. She's not really
20:07 drawn to movies. She kind of gets lost in them. It's just not a fun experience for her, but
20:12 she started watching this one. But I just got to tell you, without giving any spoilers away,
20:16 early in the film, when you started to sense what was going to be happening with the main character,
20:20 your character's grandson, I had to not come up in my throat. And I was having trouble keeping my
20:26 emotions because I can feel that because I have two sons. And so it's a little bit disjointed
20:30 with a grandson or something like that, but you could just feel it. There's a visceral nature
20:34 to this movie that you don't get in some of the other movies that are could be lumped into this
20:39 genre, if you will. And so I thought that that carried a lot of the drama and a lot of the narrative
20:44 of this story. And so we're running short on time. So I got a couple of questions for you here
20:48 towards the end. Again, guys, the movie is the last rodeo. It's in theaters this weekend. You
20:51 can find your tickets here in the show notes, go and check it out. But since you've done all this
20:55 television and movie acting, okay, I want to know for you, Neil, if you had to delete your entire
21:00 IMDB, your entire back catalog, every performance you've ever done in your life, and you could only
21:06 have one performance that would be your legacy that people would know your name, you know, you buy,
21:12 you know, air is beyond this one. What's the one performance that you would leave for humanity,
21:16 television or film? Wow. Okay. Oh, the next question's worse. So just get ready. Okay.
21:22 Well, band of brothers obviously was just something that was so incredible to play that all American
21:27 hero, Buck Compton was amazing. Those guys are still all my best pals. Buck became like another
21:33 dad to me. It's where I met my wife, Reve, the first day I got into London. So, you know, that's
21:39 right up top. Justified was just a crazy, awesome performance. But I got to tell you, there's nothing
21:49 like I've never kissed a woman on screen to write a film, produce a film, to star in a film,
21:58 alongside my wife and my best friends, being directed by my favorite director of all time and
22:02 getting to kiss my wife on screen for the first time. Hard to beat.
22:08 It's hard to beat. It's really hard to beat. Well, I'm gonna bail you out with this last one,
22:18 because it's a way worse question than the previous one. This will be how we wrap up Neil.
22:22 Now, there are conical lines in films, right? So Russell Crow and Gladiator, what we do in life,
22:28 that goes in eternity. You got no Gibson and Braveheart. They may take our lives, but they'll never take
22:32 off freedom, right? There's lines. So if we have to delete every line that you've ever delivered
22:40 in television or in movies, and you could have one line that you leave for humanity in the way
22:46 that you delivered it, I know I'm asking you like an impossible thing, but I'm just trying to ask
22:50 you something no one else is going to ask you. What's the one line that you delivered that you're
22:54 going to leave for us? Band of brothers, when I see all my buddies getting blown up,
22:59 and I come out of the foxhole and everything's blowing up around me, and when I say medic,
23:08 when I drop my helmet and band of brothers, that's maybe the most iconic thing that I could
23:16 it eats me up every time. Here I am, and it's supposed to be the real tough guy in television
23:20 movies, but now you get to actually see the real Neil who's pretty emotional, but that's, you know,
23:24 that's to me that that represented who those guys were in World War II, what they had to do.
23:31 Here's these 18, 19 year old guys who have been through basic training with these same guys and
23:36 live with these guys, jumped out of planes together, and there they are fighting against the Nazis,
23:41 and seeing your, those guys get blown up in front of you. Thank the Lord for those guys,
23:48 because if we weren't for them, we would not have the freedoms that we have in America right now.
23:52 So yeah, medic, band of brothers, finally. Amen. Well, finally, so that's great. Well,
23:57 I got more questions, but we're out of time. Is there anything else you want to get off your chest?

The only way to have clarity in life is to be clear-minded, isn't it? The only way to be a great dad, the only way to be a great husband... is to start manning up.
