THIS CONCLUDES OUR INTERVIEW WITH NEAL McDONOUGH
Fantastic interview with such a fantastic guy!Really honest,touching and funny. Thank you all! ...Neal´s interpretation of Buck had a strong impact on me, I got almost a nervous breakdown from all that.. Now I realize that BoB was so strong and real because it was almost real, including actors´emotions.. God bless you Buck and Neal! Danielle
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this interview so much and am so thankful for how honest Neal was about every detail and loved his hilarious stories.
ReplyDeleteThis even made my mom fall even more inlove with Neal haha.
Thanks soo much Ross, Nightmare and Jenna for doing these interviews!
You can tell, based on how these guys so willingly agreed to these interviews, and how much they wanted to talk, this was a transformative experience and one that has stayed with them through the years. Putting actors into a boot camp to teach them how to be real soldiers is the best acting school there probably is for getting it "right". Now that these guys have been through it, I guarantee any of them would make fantastic members of the "cadre" in Dale Dye's organization. Especially Neal.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Thank you everyone who helped put this together. I am Buck's youngest daughter. What a tribute Ross is doing here.
ReplyDeleteNeal is a stand-up guy, for sure! Really enjoyed he interview, and wish Neal all the success in the world!
