Neal McDonough

Member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. Graduated from Syracuse University in 1988.

His character Lieutenant Hawk in Star Trek: First Contact (1996) was originally written as the first openly gay character in any Star Trek series or movie, but all references to his sexual orientation were written out of later drafts of the screenplay. The character was later confirmed as having been gay in the Star Trek tie-in novel "Section 31: Rogue" by Andy Mangels and Michael A. Martin.

Decided to give up on acting until his manager got him a meeting and audition for "Band of Brothers" (2001). His work on that led to Steven Spielberg casting him in Minority Report (2002).

Son, Morgan McDonough (born November 28, 2005) with his wife, Ruve McDonough.

Daughter, Catherine "Cate" Maggie McDonough (born May 14, 2007) with Ruve McDonough.

In grade school, his first acting role was that of the Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard of Oz". According to McDonough, he really wanted to play the Tin Man. In 2007, he finally got his chance, appearing in the title role of Sci-Fi Network's miniseries "Tin Man" (2007).

Like his "Tin Man" (2007) co-star Zooey Deschanel, he appeared in advertising for the clothing chain, The Gap, Inc.

Daughter, London Jane McDonough (born January 11, 2010) with Ruve McDonough. London weighed 7.95 lbs and measured 19 inches long.
