Frank Baum's 1900 children's novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" has had an incredible life well beyond its original intent. First, there was a Broadway musical adaptation in 1902, and then in 1939, it was adapted into the film "The Wizard of Oz" starring Judy Garland. Since then, there have been numerous excellent and unique reinterpretations of Baum's story, ranging from 1978's "The Wiz" (a movie musical featuring an all-Black cast) to the wildly successful "Wicked" franchise based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, which has since given rise to a major musical film version starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jeff Goldblum. "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is wildly adaptable because of its rather simple plot structure and hugely recognizable elements, and since it's been in the public domain since 1956, people have had a lot of time to create their own visions of this classic fantasy adventure.

Indeed, there have...

The superhero industrial complex has tapped virtually every working actor in Hollywood with many signed to years and years of superhero movies in starring roles and cameo appearances. Others have been tapped for cameos that promise some grand role in the future, but will probably never come to fruition. Another genre of fiction that is also tossing a wide net when it comes to casting? Westerns, particularly Taylor Sheridan's "Yellowstone" cinematic universe.

Everyone from Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren to Josh Holloway and Rita Wilson have found themselves in the most popular cinematic universe on TV in the last few years. All this being said, there's not a lot of crossover between the two massive industries. Still, the few actors who have found success in both the "Yellowstone" universe and in superhero roles boast not only impressive resumes, but extremely wide audiences. Case in point: Neal McDonough.

Paramount+ has officially set the stage for Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi to face his biggest fight in Tulsa King Season 3, dropping the first trailer and announcing a Sunday, September 21 premiere date.

The new footage teases a bloody collision course between Dwight’s growing empire and the Dunmires, an entrenched Tulsa dynasty whose wealth and influence run deeper than anything the New York mobster has encountered. “They don’t play by old-world rules,” the synopsis warns — and the trailer makes it clear that these new adversaries have no intention of letting Dwight settle in comfortably.

The release caps off a dominant year for Tulsa King, which became the #1 global Paramount+ Original Series of 2024 and broke into the top ten across all streaming platforms in Q4.

Paramount+ has dropped the first teaser trailer for “Tulsa King” Season 3.

In the teaser, Dwight (Sylvester Stallone) becomes interested in a distillery business. But from the look of things, his competition takes none too kindly to Dwight and his crew moving into their territory.

Watch the full teaser below.

As previously announced, “Tulsa King” Season 3 will debut on Sept. 21. As with past seasons, new episodes will drop weekly. The official description for “Tulsa King” Season 3 states, “As Dwight’s empire expands, so do his enemies – and the risks to his crew.

Even though viewers had to wait almost two years in between Tulsa King season 1 and 2, there's a much shorter wait this time around. It's been less than a year since the hit Paramount+ crime drama from Taylor Sheridan wrapped its second season, but we're already gearing up for a new season that's officially been set for release this fall.

Back in May, we learned that Paramount+ was planning to release Tulsa King season 3 in September 2025, and that's exactly when new episodes will begin streaming. On July 31, Paramount+ announced that Tulsa King season 3 premieres on Sunday, Sept. 21. See, that's not very far away! We'll be diving back into this wild world before we know it.

Keeping in line with the show's previous release patter, Tulsa King season 3 will release new episodes weekly on Paramount+. While the first season contained nine episodes,...

Neal McDonough, a familiar face as Malcolm Beck on ‘Yellowstone’, hit a rough patch in his career when he stood firm on a personal rule. He refused to perform kissing scenes with women other than his wife, a choice tied to his deep faith and commitment to his family. This stance led to a harsh backlash—Hollywood essentially shut him out, leaving him struggling to find work.

His wife, Ruvé Robertson, became his anchor during this storm. Married since 2003, with five children, Ruvé wasn’t fazed by the industry’s rejection. She pushed Neal to stay resilient, helping him navigate the emotional and financial toll. Her support gave him the strength to take on smaller roles and rebuild his career step by step.

The blacklist hit hard. McDonough later shared that he was fired from the 2010 ABC series ‘Scoundrels’ after refusing to film intimate scenes, a move that cost him jobs for nearly two years.

Neal McDonough, seen in Band of Brothers, Minority Report, and Western series such as Yellowstone and Tulsa King, has addressed his recent distancing from the industry. Despite some prominent roles in big productions from Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg, McDonough's career has taken a hit; today, he's mostly featured in smaller projects, but it isn't for lack of trying. The actor says that due to one of his contractual requests, "Hollywood turned on him." The specific request? If the script includes a moment of intimacy, he refuses to participate with anyone who isn't his wife.

McDonough was recently invited to Nothing Left Unsaid, the podcast hosted by Troy and Tim Green whose previous guests include industry figures like Nic Pizzolatto. McDonough talked about his career, his faith, and getting "blackballed" over the contraction stipulation mentioned above, saying, "It was very difficult, that's for sure, to go through what I went through.

A series of new images have been revealed from Tulsa King season 3 ahead of its return in September, including a new glimpse at Samuel L. Jackson's franchise-expanding character. The Paramount+ crime drama was created by Taylor Sheridan and focuses on Sylvester Stallone's Oklahoma crime boss Dwight "the General" Manfredi. Tulsa King season 2 concluded in November 2024.

USA Today has unveiled a new selection of preview images from Tulsa King season 3 ahead of its return, which has been revealed to be on September 21 (per Variety).

Neal McDonough Net Worth ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Neal McDonough is a popular actor who has featured in several movies and TV series and made his mark in the film industry. From starring in his breakout film, Darkman, to appearing in multiple Marvel movies as Timothy ‘Dum Dum’ Dugan, he has an impressive filmography. Despite having such a resume, there was a time when he didn’t get a job just because of one of his contract clauses.

He never wanted to have an onscreen kiss scene, not because of his wife, but because he was not comfortable doing it. And for that, there was a time when Hollywood had turned its back on him, and he lost many years without a job. McDonough is widely appreciated and respected. Here’s how much net worth he holds.

Neal McDonough, who you might know from shows like Yellowstone and Suits, has opened up about a difficult time in his acting career. On the podcast Nothing Left Unsaid, he shared that Hollywood turned against him because he had a rule in his contracts not to kiss any female co-stars on screen. This decision made it hard for him to get acting jobs.

“I’d always had in my contracts that I wouldn’t kiss another woman on-screen,” McDonough said. He explained that it wasn’t his wife who had an issue with it, but rather himself. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t want to put you through it. I know we’re going to start having kids, and I don’t want to put my kids through it.’” He has been married to Ruve McDonough since 2003, and they have three children together.

Neal McDonough, known for shows like Yellowstone and Suits, recently opened up about a tough time in his career. On the podcast Nothing Left Unsaid, he revealed that his choice to never kiss co-stars on screen caused Hollywood to “completely turn on” him.

McDonough explained that he always included a no-kiss clause in his contracts. He said, “My wife didn’t really have a problem with it. It was me really who had a problem. I was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t want to put you through it. I know we’re going to start having kids, and I don’t want to put my kids through it.’” He has been married to Ruve McDonough since 2003, and they have three children.

Neal McDonough, known for his work on Yellowstone, Suits, Minority Report and more, is opening up about what he believes has negatively impacted his career.

On a recent episode of the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast, McDonough claimed that Hollywood “turned” on him because of his no-kiss clause in his contracts, which made him unable to book acting gigs.

“I’d always had in my contracts that I wouldn’t kiss another woman onscreen,” the Desperate Housewives actor said. “My wife didn’t really have a problem with it. It was me really who had a problem.

Sylvester Stallone is back in the saddle — or at least the high-thread-count sheets — as Dwight “The General” Manfredi in Tulsa KingSeason 3, and Paramount+ has dropped our first official look at the upcoming installment of Taylor Sheridan’s unlikely mobster epic, via USA Today. Premiering this September, the new season promises higher stakes, grittier rivalries, and the debut of Samuel L. Jackson as the newest player in Sheridan’s growing crime-verse. And if the first-look images are anything to go by, Tulsa King is leaning even further into its pulpy, gun-toting roots.

The Season 2 finale left Dwight and his oddball crew briefly basking in victory before being yanked—literally—out of bed by a government task force. Now, as seen in the images, the fight for Tulsa is only heating up, and the crime world is expanding fast. One of the most exciting developments? Jackson, 76, joins the cast as Russell Lee Washington Jr.

Yellowstone‘s Neal McDonough is opening up about the time when Hollywood shut him out for allegedly refusing to kiss a woman. He has recently interviewed with Tim and Troy Green of the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast. In the podcast, he detailed the bad experience and even teared up a little bit.

McDonough had one rule for his acting roles: he wouldn’t kiss other women on screen. He has been married to his wife, Ruvé Robertson, for 22 years, and the couple has five children together. He shared that his wife didn’t have a problem with it, but that he didn’t feel comfortable filming kissing on screen.

He shared in the podcast that he would make it clear in his contract that he wouldn’t kiss other women. He shared that this rule didn’t sit well in Hollywood, and the industry allegedly turned against him. He shared:...

Character actor Neal McDonough appears on-screen a lot, with more than 20 roles across film and television in the 2020s alone. But these parts weren’t always rolling in. According to McDonough, at an unsaid point in his career, he stopped receiving jobs due to a romantic clause in his contract as an actor.

“I always had in my contracts that I wouldn’t kiss another woman on-screen,” McDonough said on Tim Green’s “Nothing Left Unsaid” podcast. “My wife didn’t really have a problem with it.

Since 2003, McDonough has been married to Ruvé Robertson, a South African model he met during the filming of “Band of Brothers.

Neal McDonoughhas garnered fan appreciation for roles in Yellowstone and Suits, but the actor has recently explained that it was not always smooth sailing. On the podcast, Nothing Left Unsaid, McDonough informed listeners as to why he may not be as prolific as he once was. According to him, he was blacklisted in Hollywood due to a stipulation in his contract that he would not be filmed kissing anyone.

“I’d always had in my contracts that I wouldn’t kiss another woman on screen. My wife didn’t have any problem with it. It was me, really, who had a problem with it.

Neal McDonough, the veteran character actor who has appeared in everything from “Band of Brothers” to “Desperate Housewives,” “Minority Report,” “American Horror Story,” “Suits” and more, revealed during an interview on the “Nothing Left Unsaid” podcast (exclusive shared by TMZ) that Hollywood shut him out when he refused to kiss other actors on screen. McDonough has been married to Ruvé Robertson since 2003. The couple has five children together.

“I’d always had in my contracts I wouldn’t kiss another woman on-screen,” McDonough said. “My wife didn’t have any problem with it. It was me, really, who had a problem with it.

When you think about comic book movies, what often comes to mind are Marvel titles like The Fantastic Four: First Steps and the new Superman movie. You can even think about lesser-known titles like Hellboy and Constantine, but your mind will rarely float towards a movie like Red 2. The action-comedy flick was first released in 2013, and if you remember nothing about it — or if it simply flew off your radar — you will have an excellent opportunity to watch it next month. The movie is debuting for free on Vizio+ on August 1.

The story of the Red franchise is uncommon but extremely entertaining. It follows a group of retired CIA agents who are forced back into action when old enemies start to resurface. The story is based on a comic book series created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, which was originally published by the DC imprint Homage Comics. The...

Netflix’s The Waterfront arrived on screens June 19, promising a Southern crime saga with all the hallmarks of Yellowstone’s rugged family empire drama. But in the murky swamps of North Carolina rather than Montana’s open plains.

Created by Kevin Williamson, known for Scream and Dawson’s Creek, the show centers on Harlan Buckley (Holt McCallany), a grizzled patriarch struggling through a second heart attack while clutching a glass of whiskey. Alongside his wife, Mae (Maria Bello), and their fractured children, the Buckleys juggle a commercial fishing business with a darker, illicit drug smuggling trade.

Critics and audiences alike have spotted the spitting image of Yellowstone’s Duttons in the Buckleys, as The Waterfront shot straight to the top of Netflix’s charts in a matter of days (per Tudum). But it has also left viewers polarized. As FandomWire observes, the series feels like Dawson’s Creek or The O.C. for...

At just 54, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the man who gave life to one of television’s most iconic sons, has died in a tragedy as sudden as it is sobering. The Emmy-nominated actor drowned while swimming near Cocles Beach in Limón, Costa Rica, on July 20, 2025, during what was meant to be a peaceful family getaway.

According to Costa Rica’s National Police’s statement to ABC News, Warner was caught in a powerful rip current and, despite the valiant efforts of bystanders and emergency responders, he could not be revived. His body was later transferred to the morgue at San Joaquín de Flores for autopsy.

His official cause of death: asphyxia by submersion. Authorities identified him as a tourist traveling with his family.

Warner, who rose to fame in the 1980s as Theo Huxtable in The Cosby Show, was handpicked by Bill Cosby himself after auditioning on the very last day of...

If there’s one thing Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone nailed season after season, it was delivering villains that matched the weight of the Dutton family’s legacy. Even when storylines stumbled or pacing faltered, the antagonists never lost their bite. Among these adversaries, Neal McDonough’s Malcolm Beck carved out a niche that fans still debate today because the character, according to the actor himself, is not dead.

In a recent interview with Collider, the Tulsa King actor, 59, was unequivocal:

Yes, Malcolm Beck is not dead. No one saw him actually die in the field.

The actor’s enthusiasm for reprising the role, especially alongside his close friend Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler), adds fuel to the fire of fan speculation.

I would love to see him come back and cause havoc with Rip because Cole Hauser was one of my dearest pals, and there’s nothing I would love more...

Samuel L. Jackson is leading the first spinoff of Taylor Sheridan and Sylvester Stallone's Tulsa King, but his character is going to debut before his show does. Samuel L. Jackson joined the cast of Tulsa King about a month ago, but his character wasn't confirmed. Now, however, we know who Jackson is playing in Tulsa King season 3, what he'll be doing, and how his spinoff series Nola King begins.

Paramount confirmed that Samuel L. Jackson is going to star in the Tulsa King spinoff show Nola King, and that his character, Russell Lee Washington Jr., will appear in Tulsa King season 3 first. Jackson's character will be introduced in the main Tulsa King show before starting his spinoff series. Jackson has had TV roles before, but Nola King will mark his first time headlining a series.

The confirmation of Jackson's involvement in Tulsa King season 3, which is expected to premiere...

The pistol-packin’ padre is not an unknown figure in Westerns — particularly 1960s European “spaghetti” Westerns — but you’d be hard-pressed to name movies which cast their rabbinical brethren in a similar action-figure mode. “Guns & Moses” exploits just that novelty as its primary hook, complete with an advertising image of the bearded, fedora-topped hero brandishing firepower over the slogan “May God and Your Glock Protect You.”

Punning title aside, Salvador Litvak’s film promises a serious look at antisemitic violence, inspired by the 2019 shooting (which killed one person and injured three more) at Chabad of Poway Synagogue in San Diego County. Alas, the convoluted screenplay written by the director and spouse Nina Litvak bears little resemblance to that real-world incident, locates the criminal motivation well outside the realm of antisemitism, and somewhat awkwardly attempts to balance straight suspense with a persistent comedic streak.

The enterprising indie production entertains even as...

Neal McDonough has exploded in popularity in the last year thanks to his role as Cal Thresher in Tulsa King, the epic crime saga from creator Taylor Sheridan, but earlier this year, he starred in a must-watch Western that’s dominating streaming charts. McDonough stars alongside Christopher McDonald (Happy Gilmore) and Sarah Jones (For All Mankind) in The Last Rodeo, the rodeo drama following a retired bull-riding star who returns to competition to save his grandson, confronting his past sins and discovering faith along the way. The Last Rodeo is currently available to rent or purchase on Prime Video, and it’s the #8 most popular film on VOD charts. The film earned 68% from critics and 95% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $15 million at the box office against an $8 million budget.

Jon Avnet wrote the script for The Last Rodeo along with star Neal McDonough and Derek Presley, and Avnet also directed the film.

The cast of the Street Fighter movie continues to come together as Deadline reports that Vidyut Jammwal has signed on to play Dhalsim. The character, who first appeared in Street Fighter II, is a yogi who can stretch his limbs and use fire-based attacks. He’s also a pacifist who only joins the tournament in order to raise money for his family and village.

Street Fighter has been filling out its ranks rather furiously, with the cast currently consisting of Andrew Koji as Ryu, Noah Centineo as Ken, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Orville Peck as Vega, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, Roman Reigns as Akuma, and Hirooki Goto as E. Honda.

Street Fighter will serve as Jammwal’s Hollywood debut, but he’s already a well-known figure in India, with leading roles...

Neal McDonough is known for playing tough guys and straight shooters, from Yellowstone and Suits to Justified and Tulsa King. But in Guns & Moses, the upcoming neo-Western thriller hitting theaters July 18, McDonough plays a very different kind of character — and he’s got a lot to say about the film’s message.

Set in a dusty desert town rocked by a shocking act of violence, Guns & Moses follows Rabbi Mo Zaltzman (played by Royal Pains’ Mark Feuerstein) as he tries to unravel the truth behind a deadly shooting at a gala.

The film also features a stacked cast including Dermot Mulroney as the targeted solar entrepreneur Alan Rosner, Mercedes Mason as his mysterious wife, and Christopher Lloyd, in a yet-to-be-undisclosed role. Paulo Costanzo, Michael B. Silver, Alona Tal, Jake Busey, and Gabrielle Ruiz round out the ensemble.

The initial trailer teased a tense, twisting mystery: a suspected hate crime,...

Josh Stolberg’s “Skillhouse” presents a grotesque meditation on contemporary fame, trapping ten social media influencers within the claustrophobic confines of a Los Angeles mansion where survival hinges on digital validation. The film’s central conceit—lives measured in likes—transforms the horror genre’s traditional death games into a perverse reflection of our attention economy.

Carter Swick, portrayed by real-life influencer Bryce Hall, serves as our reluctant protagonist, having previously survived an attack that claimed his sister Lauren. The masked antagonist, dubbed the “Triller Killer,” orchestrates a macabre competition watched by millions, each contestant bound by explosive collars that enforce participation through the threat of decapitation.

Stolberg, drawing from his experience with the Saw franchise, constructs a nightmare where Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson appears as himself, functioning as both host and moral arbiter of this digital colosseum. The film’s 94-minute runtime becomes a compressed examination of how social media...

Obnoxious online celebrities must fight for their lives while the entire world watches in Skillhouse, yet the in-universe fanfare is unbelievable. Josh Stolberg writes and directs, but disappointingly, his screenplay isn’t on par with career standouts like Piranha 3D or Saw X. The emaciated story, washed-out lighting, and grating performances are as unlikable as the self-absorbed TikTok problem child and star Bryce Hall, whose former content creator mansion “The Sway House” doubles as the titular Skill House. There are plenty of meta parallels given how Skillhouse inhabits a defunct influencer haven, but it’s a superficial, poorly told homicide party that offers nothing besides cheap thrills with no virality.

The film stars Hall—famous for endangering lives by throwing Covid-19 lockdown parties and real-life assault charges—as a “fictional” take on his unlikable online personality, Carter Swick. Poor Carter’s grieving after the heinous murder of his vapid Insta-celeb...

Neal McDonough is back for Tulsa King Season 4, and he’s not holding back. In an exclusive interview that was released on July 10, the actor confirmed his return to Taylor Sheridan’s crime drama and finally addressed one of Yellowstone’s most infamous unsolved plot twists: the never-exploding bomb from Season 2.

“I’m so happy to be on Seasons 2, 3, and now we’re about to start Season 4 in October of Tulsa King,” McDonough told Collider. “And now that I’m the governor of Tulsa — of Oklahoma — I’m having a ball.”

McDonough, who plays Malcolm Beck in Yellowstone and the slippery Cal Thresher in Tulsa King, has become a regular in the ever-expanding Sheridan-verse. While promoting his new film Guns and Moses, he opened up about what it’s like working under Sheridan, and defended a fan-frustrating moment many thought was a dropped ball.

McDonough Defended Yellowstone’s Bomb...

Is Skillhouse the worst movie ever made? It’s hard to say. Hollywood is full of depraved, stupid films that are far worse than some random horror film. But man, it’s hard to watch it and think anything except “This is the worst movie ever made.” Words fail to describe what an ineffable piece of garbage this film is, but I’ll try.

Skillhouse Review

Skillhouse follows a group of social media influencers who are trapped in a murder house and tasked to get as many views as they can to save themselves from a grisly fate. On premise alone, you’d be right to assume this is awful.

Over a few days, the obnoxious influencers are killed off individually. The film, directed by Josh Stolberg, whose writing credits include Jigsaw, Spiral, and Saw X, tries to recreate some of the Saw franchise’s appeal (or lack thereof) with innovative,...

Actor Neal McDonough has suggested that his Yellowstone villain character isn't actually dead, and that he should return for the spinoff. Appearing in Yellowstone season 2, McDonough played Malcolm Beck, one of the Dutton family's most formidable foes. But though Malcolm was a force, he met his (seeming) bitter end when John Dutton shot him and left him to die in a field.

While Malcolm's fate looked to be sealed, McDonough has different ideas about what happened to his Yellowstone character, which he revealed to Collider. McDonough was confident in his assertion that Malcolm Beck survived his gunshot wound, saying, "No one actually saw him die."

The actor then went on to express hope that he could reprise his role as Malcolm in Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone spinoff centered around Beth and Rip. McDonough revealed that Rip actor Cole Hauser is one of his "dearest pals," and thathe would relish the...

Donnie Wahlberg is currently hard at work filming his Blue Bloods spin-off, Boston Blue, but one project from the star that’s over 20 years old has stumbled back into the streaming spotlight. Wahlberg stars alongside Michael Fassbender, Neal McDonough, and a host of other stars in Band of Brothers, the 2001 WWII miniseries telling the story of the Easy Company of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division and their lengthy journey from Operation Overlord to V-j Day. Band of Brothers is streaming on both HBO Max and Netflix in the U.S., and it’s also become a streaming hit in other countries such as Germany and Mauritania. The series earned a nearly perfect 94% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a stunning 97% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter.

Band of Brothers is based on the book by Stephen Ambrose, with various scribes and directors working on the show. Most notably, Tom Hanks...

Dwight Manfredi might run the streets of Tulsa, but Neal McDonough now runs the state — and he’s not going anywhere. Collider’s Maggie Lovitt caught up with the Tulsa King star ahead of his new film Guns and Moses, where McDonough not only gushed about working in Taylor Sheridan’s crime-filled world but confirmed that he’s officially coming back for Season 4.

“I’m so happy to be on Seasons 2, 3, and now we’re about to start Season 4 in October of Tulsa King,” McDonough revealed. “And now that I’m the governor of Tulsa — of Oklahoma — I’m having a ball. I’m having a great time.” McDonough’s comments arrive just days after Sylvester Stallone confirmed via Instagram that Tulsa King Season 3 had wrapped filming. In a video post thanking the cast and crew, Stallone teased big surprises for the upcoming season and went even further in an edit to the caption,...

Taylor Sheridan has created an entire empire of frontier grit, deadly grudges, and big hats — and Neal McDonough is here for it. The Yellowstone and Tulsa King star sat down with Collider’s Maggie Lovitt to reflect on his time in Sheridan’s universe, and let’s just say: he’s not ready to hang up his cowboy boots just yet. When Lovitt brought up Yellowstone fans’ undying curiosity about the fate of Malcolm Beck — McDonough’s Season 2 villain who may or may not have kicked the bucket — the actor made it clear how he interpreted the end of the character's journey.

“Yes, Malcolm Beck is not dead,” McDonough said definitively. “No one saw him actually die in the field. I would love to see him come back and cause havoc with Rip because Cole Hauser was one of my dearest pals, and there's nothing I would love more than...

Neal McDonough has played soldiers, senators, snipers, and now — with the release of his new faith-fueled crime thriller Guns and Moses — a righteous avenger. But to many cinephiles, he’s also forever linked to one of the most iconic sci-fi thrillers of the 21st century:Minority Report. The 2002 Steven Spielberg film, starring Tom Cruise and based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, recently earned a coveted spot on The New York Times’ list of the 100 greatest films of the 21st century. And when Collider’s Maggie Lovitt asked McDonough how it feels to be part of such a legacy, the actor lit up with admiration — and gratitude.

“I remember when we were doing the film, and we were doing all this stuff on the screen, we had to go to school,” McDonough said. “Me, Colin [Farrell], and Tom had to go to the school for how to do the hands right,...
