Neal McDonough, renowned for his roles in TV series like “Band of Brothers” and “Desperate Housewives,” recently celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary. The actor faced a tough time when he was fired for refusing to engage in on-screen intimacy, but he remained grateful for his family.

In a heartfelt post, McDonough shared, “She said… YES! YES! And YES again!!! Almost 20 years of marriage, & 23 years together.” He met his wife, Ruve, during the filming of “Brothers” in London. Despite initial challenges, they built a beautiful family together.

McDonough’s commitment to his values led to conflicts in his career, but he remained steadfast. He recounted being blacklisted for two years after standing firm against performing intimate scenes. Despite the hardships, McDonough emphasized the importance of faith and family.

“I expressed that my lips were meant for only one woman — my spouse, Ruve,” he said, reflecting on his convictions. Overcoming personal struggles, he prioritized his family and faith, urging others to do the same. For him, success in Hollywood didn’t require compromising his principles.
