And this is a quote from Neal prior to Sunday's race:
NEAL: "We just had such a great time last year. It means a lot to me to be here and see all the American flags and such, obviously being Memorial Day weekend and being part of “Band of Brothers” and the opening of the World War II Memorial, I would love to have been there for that, but I was asked to come here first. So we’re here, and it’s just a really neat weekend to be involved, given our involvement in "Band of Brothers" and the memorial in Washington, D.C. That’s kind of the big thing that’s been weighing on me. Yesterday, taking the parade around the city, and there’s 400,000 people, lots of soldiers, it made me very proud to be an American."
YOUR IMPRESSION OF THIS CITY AND THIS WEEKEND:
NEAL: "Indianapolis is dynamite, not just the architecture. It’s just beautiful, feels like such an Americana-type town. But it is a town, it doesn’t feel like a big city even though there are a lot of people here, but it feels like a really big, welcoming town, and we’ve really enjoyed ourselves here the last two years."

4/08/04 - There was a small blurb about Neal in the Detroit Free Press:
[BOSTON ACTOR Neal McDonough,the Rock's nemesis in "Walking Tall", appearing on "Best Damn Sports Show Period": "The first time I was ever away from home, I came back six months later, I had my Yankees hat on, my Yankees jacket on. I walked in the door and my four brothers and my dad jumped me, beat me senseless, ripped it off, threw the stuff out the door, put a Red Sox hat on me and said, 'Welcome home, Neal'."

And this appeared in the Boston Herald on March 30th:
[Hyannis' Neal McDonough: Playing bad
For a real sweetie pie, "Walking Tall" star Neal McDonough can play one badass villain! Wherever does the hunky Hyannis homeboy find all that evil?
"Well, people say that the most normal people play the best bad guys," said McDonough, who plays The Rock's nemesis in the remake of the 1973 flick. "But I really don't know what it is. I'm nothing like the characters I play in the movies nor am I anything like David Norris in 'Boomtown', but you pull things from people, I guess. I was never a smoker, yet I know how to do it."

Guess that's why it's called "acting", eh?
"I do enjoy playing bad guys though," said Neal, whose flick premiered last night at Mann's Chinese Theatre and opens in theaters Friday. "Because the more I do it, the more grateful I am for my way of life."

And speaking of "the craft", the mild-mannered McDonough comes out swinging at those who whack his ex-wrestler co-star for his lack of traditional Hollywood training. Not that The Rock needs extra muscle to handle his critics!
"I always say, 'Dude, he was on stage for 10 years and hit his mark every night and there weren't any second takes'," he said. "I think the movies were a natural progression for a great entertainer - and a great guy."

Neal also gave "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville - who plays the Rock's old pal, Ray Templeton, in the action flick - his props.
"Oh, he's twisted, but does a genuine job of acting in this movie," said his cinematic compadre. "You'll see."

Since wrapping up "Walking Tall", weathering the "Boomtown" bust and kicking back on his Hawaiian honeymoon, Neal's been out straight working on an NBC medical mystery pilot. The series, an "ER"-meets-"CSI" morph, also stars Kelli Williams, a refugee of "The Practice," and "The Handler" gal Anna Belknap. And it sounds like Neal's going to play a good guy - this time.

4/06/04 - Another addition to the cast of Neal's untitled NBC series - Clare Carey ("Coach") will have a recurring role as Jess Bowman, the wife of Neal's character.

"Walking Tall" came in second at the box office with 15.5 million, behind "Hellboy" (23.1 million).

There's a small photo of Neal in the new issue of "The Improper Bostonian" (March 31 - April 13, 2004) from the "Betting On A Cause and A Cure" charity event on January 31st. (Thanks to Sylvie!)

4/04/04 - Neal will appear on "The Sharon Osbourne Show" on Thursday, April 8th. The show airs on Superstation WGN weeknights at 1AM ET, 12AM CT, 11PM MT & 10PM PT. It's also syndicated, so check here for your local listings.

4/01/04 - Here's what the critics are saying about Neal's performance as Jay Hamilton in "Walking Tall":

"McDonough oozes a natural arrogance onscreen as Vaughn�s slimy adversary..."

"His high school rival Neal McDonough (from TV's "Boomtown" and a great villain)..."

"Hamilton, played fiercely by the convincing Neal McDonough, runs the town like a Pacific Northwest despot..."

"But credit should go to McDonough, who emblazons his character with a toughness of body and mind and gives the battle suspense."

"Instead, he finds that it has been closed by Jay Hamilton (the wonderfully slimy Neal McDonough)..."

"McDonough, who made a lasting impression as the conflicted, tortured D.A. David McNorris on NBC's late, much-lamented cop drama "Boomtown," lends an air of legitimacy. The best performer in the movie, he's sadly underused."

"On the other hand, McDonough's evil smirk alone is enough for him to fall right into the sterotypical villain's shoes."

"...but credit must also go to villain Neal McDonough (Timeline), who bears more than a passing resemblance to Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's charismatic blood-sucking antihero. Possessing the greatest character arc in the film, McDonough moves effortlessly from charming huckster to ice-cold kingpin, in a performance undoubtedly inspired by numerous studio executives."

The complete reviews

Photos from the world premiere of "Walking Tall" have been added.

Also, there was a small blurb on MTV.com about Neal's new series:
[Neal McDonough of "Minority Report," who garnered rave reviews for the NBC drama "Boomtown," hopes to return to the small screen. "I'm working on a new pilot ... an untitled medical mystery drama," he said. "I'm going to have a great time playing this character for a very long time. He has his flaws and he has his issues, but deep down he cares about humanity so much and that's what makes the show so compelling."]

3/31/04 - Excerpt from Neal's appearance on "The Craig Kilborn Show" regarding his new series:
CK: You've got a new series this fall.
Neal: Yeah, a new one for NBC. It's a medical mystery/drama. It's untitled at this point. I play the lead doctor on the show and I'm really looking forward to it. The people at NBC - Chris Conti and Kevin Reilly - they're very supportive of the project and it's nice to be back on television.
CK: You've been on NBC before?
Neal: Yeah, "Boomtown" was on NBC. So, I'm looking forward to that, but this weekend "Walking Tall" comes out for MGM and...

From the world premiere of "Walking Tall", 3/29/04

Also, an interview with Neal from the premiere:
So what�s it like being the bad guy and fighting The Rock?
It was fun. No, thank God it was a movie because in real life, it would be a whole different story. It was a terrific time for myself. Rock is so good at the physical but he�s equally as gifted at the acting. That�s what made �Walking Tall� a really great, wonderful film, I think. He�s such a wonderful guy that it was infectious on the set. Everybody worked really hard making sure it was a really good film.

I read in the production notes that you do have an athlete side, though we don�t usually see it in your choice of roles.
Oh yeah, I played football and sports and baseball through college. I still play sports pretty much every day. That definitely helps when it came to this character. I�m not kidding you, I had probably the best time in my life doing this movie. It was really wonderful.

Even though it was a pretty serious drama, it was a fun time on the set?
It was a great time on the set. Rock�s funny and really personable. I�m kind of a quiet guy, I don�t really say too much, and we had a really wonderful time.

Does the theme of one man against the society play as well now as it did back when the original �Walking Tall� was released?
I think more so now. I think when you look at all the small towns in America, all the drugs that are happening, all the corruption that is going on, we need guys like Buford Pusser - or like Chris Vaughn in this instance � to stand up to the guys who are getting away with stuff. I�m very proud of this film, very proud of the message that this film has.

In the final fight scene with The Rock, how much of that is you and how much is a stuntman?
100% of it is me. That was me falling down the shaft. That was fun. It hurt a little bit but it worked.

Any accidents on the set?
No, we got through it unscathed. It was pretty amazing.

What do you think fans of the original will think of this version?
I think fans are going to love it. It holds pretty true to the original. There are a few other elements, Ashley [Scott] and The Rock have a great romance, Johnny Knoxville is really funny, but it holds really true to the original. I think they�re going to be very excited by it. I think the whole Pusser family is going to be very excited about it.

The original spawned a couple of sequels. Will this one?
Boy I hope so. It would be a lot of fun. I�ll come out of prison and hunt The Rock down one more time.

So no one has signed on yet for a sequel?
No, not yet. We�ll see how this one does.

There are photos of the other cast members attending the premiere, as well as interviews with The Rock, Khleo Thomas and Michael Bowen at Romantic Movies.com

2/09/04 - From the Boston Herald:
Hyannis homey Neal McDonough, who the critics thought was boffo in "Boomtown," will be back next season in an NBC medical mystery that he describes as "CSI" meets "ER".
McDonough will star as a doctor who heads up a team of epidemic experts who are deployed when there's an outbreak of SARS or some public health scare.
"It's been pretty scary researching this," Neal told the Track. "There are actual teams like this who are deployed but the public isn't aware of it. Because, of course, if news leaked out, there would be public hysteria."
The actor, who says he will "infuse as much Boston" into his new character as he did in "Boomtown," said when he and his bride, Ruve, return from their belated Hawaiian honeymoon, the producers will cast his team. Filming begins in March.
Neal was back in Boston this week to headline the Mass. Film Bureau's media op the other day where he and MFB exec Robin Dawson revealed plans for the bureau's annual black-tie Oscar Night bash at the Wang Center Feb. 29. Other local Hollywood types heading home for the Academy Awards throwdown include Neal's "Boomtown" and "Band of Brothers" brethren, Donnie Wahlberg; Ken Howard ("Crossing Jordan") and Kevin Chapman ("Mystic River").

1/18/04 - The Futon Critic compiled their annual list of the 50 best episodes of the past year. One episode of "Boomtown" made the list.
[38. "Boomtown: Execution" (NBC) originally aired: March 6, 2003
The last real showcase of the David McNorris character (Neal McDonough), this episode once again proved why "Boomtown" is the biggest loss of 2003. Just hours before his execution, a gangbanger tells McNorris to call off the proceedings or a cop kidnapped by his cohorts will be killed as well. And in typical "Boomtown" style the conclusion is the last thing you'd expect.]

1/10/04 - Attention fans in the Cambridge, Massachusetts area! Neal is scheduled to participate in a charity event, "Betting On A Cause & A Cure", on January 31st at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge.

12/22/03 - In the new TV Guide (December 27 - January 2), Matt Roush says the following about "Boomtown":
[Usually when a show is yanked off the air, it's the last you see of it. But, NBC has given fans of Boomtown a treat. The network hasn't reversed its regrettable decision to cancel this superior crime drama, but the four episodes that were left unseen are being shown on December 27 (8-11 pm/ET) and 28 (at 10). Despite NBC's mandate to make the show's stories more linear and less complicated, these generally compelling episodes show that Boomtown could still pull off some startling plot twists. And though underused here, Neal McDonough as cocky deputy district attorney David McNorris remains one of TV's most electrifying characters. He's terribly missed.]

12/19/03 - Neal and "Boomtown" have been nominated by the International Press Academy for the 2004 8th Annual Satellite Awards. The awards will be presented on February 21, 2004, at the St. Regis Hotel in Century City, California.

From the Boston Globe:
BOOMTOWN HITCH
Actor Neal McDonough, a Cape Cod native, and his galpal, Ruve Robertson, got married yesterday (12/01) in Beverly Hills, Calif., the family confirmed. The duo, who regularly travel to the Boston area to see family and friends and support local causes, including the Massachusetts Film Bureau, had been engaged for more than a year. The couple tried to make plans to have a Cape Cod ceremony, but with the filming for McDonough's show "Boomtown" (currently on hiatus on NBC) and shooting for the recently released "Timeline," it proved difficult. So, family -- including members of Robertson's family, who winged to Los Angeles from their native South Africa -- gathered in Beverly Hills for a smaller church ceremony, followed by a reception at a country club.

11/26/03 - "Timeline" will open in wide release today. Here is a review of the film.

11/20/03 - Photos of Neal at the "Timeline" premiere last night. There are additional (smaller) photos at Wire Image .
