Actor Neal McDonough says he lost a job because he refused to do a sex scene [View all]

Actor Neal McDonough says he lost a job because he refused to do a sex scene:
'It was hard for a few years'

There is a reason audiences don’t see actor Neal McDonough, who has appeared on shows including Arrow and Justified, in love scenes. It’s his wife of 15 years, model Ruvé Robertson.

In an interview with Closer, McDonough spoke about his stance on such scenes and how it’s affected his career. “I won’t kiss any other woman because these lips are meant for one woman,” McDonough said of his wife.

... his stance on sex scenes got him “fired from Scoundrels,” which aired on ABC from June to August 2010 before it was canceled. McDonough had been cast on the show but was replaced by another actor after three days, reportedly because he wouldn’t film sex scenes with the show’s star, Virginia Madsen.
