Headlines recently circulated of McDonough saying that Hollywood had blacklisted him; and just last week, he and his wife expounded in greater detail, saying it was a blessing in disguise.

Working in the entertainment world has always seemed like a daunting prospect, especially in light of the recent #MeToo movement, which has led to some Hollywood producers facing jail time. Most of the content is tainted with temptations of all kinds, vice dressed up like virtue, and a glamour that makes greed look good.
But Neal McDonough is one of several Catholic actors bucking this trend. Growing up as an Irish Catholic along the coast of Cape Cod, he remains steadfast in his faith and loyalty to his family.
Known for films such as Minority Report and television shows including Yellowstone, Boomtown and the Band of Brothers series, he is a skilled actor who has been shaping his own path in an industry known for breaking spirits and morals.
Here are five things to know about this Catholic actor.
1. The actor married the love of his life, and they have five beautiful kids.
Married in 2003, McDonough and Ruvé Robertson, a South African model, met while he was filming Band of Brothers in the United Kingdom.

How Seven Weeks Coffee Is Turning Ethically Sourced Blends Into Pro-Life Action Buying this coffee helps save babies.

For Anton Krecic, his morning cup of coffee is more than a fragrant beverage and a jolt of caffeine. It also represents an extension of his belief, as a Christian, in the sanctity of all human lives — especially those in the womb.
Krecic, 28, is the founder of Seven Weeks Coffee, a brand that offers gourmet blends that are ethically sourced from farmers all over the world. More importantly, though, the company donates 10% of every sale to support a network of pro-life pregnancy centers, helping them to provide vital services such as ultrasounds for women considering abortion. (The name of the coffee company, by the way, refers to the size of an unborn child at seven weeks’ gestation — roughly the size of a coffee bean.)
“As Christians, we are called to take care of the most vulnerable. These centers are the ones that are truly the hands and feet of the pro-life community,” Krecic told the Register.
“We’re just here to steward the call that [God has] put on us, which is to provide great coffee and support life.”

- Trauma, PTSD & Dissociation
- 3 Replies
The numbness, the difficulty connecting ... seemingly even with Jesus at times ,,, those are some of the many symptoms of Childhood PTSD (also called Complex PTSD). I don't hesitate mentioning this, since you've shared that you had childhood trauma.
Have you discovered yet the 'Crappy Childhood Fairy' videos on YouTube? A rather whimsical sort of name, I know, but there is nothing 'new age', pagan, etc., about the info Anna Runkle (the 'fairy') shares on her channel. Anna has a strong 12-step recovery background (12-step programs like Al-Anon and ACOA) and so her approach is to explain the effects of traumatic childhood experiences and share action steps on how to recover from the trauma symptoms, and daily live better with those symptoms we cannot change. Her whole approach is very positive and uplifting, and has proven to be helpful to many.
You might find it worth your time to take a look there.
God bless!
Crappy Childhood Fairy
My name is Anna Runkle: I teach people to recognize and heal the symptoms of Childhood PTSD. I'm not a doctor or therapist. I’m someone who grew up with several alcoholics in the family, and all the dynamics that tend to go with that -- poverty, neglect, violence, and an environment of chronic...
