Actor Neal McDonough said he was blacklisted in Hollywood for two years because of his religious values, which included refusing to shoot a love scene with another actress out of respect for his wife.

Neal McDonough, who is Catholic, made the revelation in a video that resurfaced Tuesday in which he described his experience getting fired and cancelled.
“They said you have to do it or we’re going to fire you,” he said. “And I’m like, ‘I’m not gonna do it.’ So they fired me.”

He added: “I was blackballed for two years. I couldn’t get a job.”
