So you were the kid that was always going for the lead in the school play, or the church play?
Oh yeah, that and sports. I loved baseball. I had to choose between theater or baseball. I got all these scholarship offers from amazing schools to play baseball, but I told my dad “Syracuse has one of the best theater departments. I want to go there.” He just looked at me and said “You’re going to have to work your ass off to pay for it.” Alright. He said “Okay, good. Don’t let yourself down.” And I haven’t. You work hard, great things will happen.

Yeah, he’s counting club baseball. I don’t think it’s a big deal.

Yeah, he’s counting club baseball. I don’t think it’s a big deal.

In fact, I think he's saying he gave up getting school paid for in order to attend SU for the theater school and play club baseball while picking up his own tab.

Long story how he and I met. Not worth repeating considering he is a public figure.

He was in a different House but spent enough time with him to consider him a friend. Again, considering he is a very public figure. No details.

Great guy. Never forget watching Band of Brothers with my wife, who also knew him, and both of us saying, "Wait...is that Neal McDonough?"

Have followed his career ever since and so happy at the success he has had...

He seems genuinely committed to the idea that Band of Brothers is a quasi-historical artifact and also honored by playing a real guy who made heroic sacrifices. As far as you can ever tell with an actor, he seems very humble and respectful. In that light I don’t see him trying to pass off anything as more than it was. But who knows. He was outstanding in the series that is for sure.

I’ve read he got really close to Buck Compton.
