Neal McDonough‘s career has taken him everywhere from the fields of warn-torn Europe in Band of Brothers to the Midwest underworld in Tulsa King, which just launched its third season this September. But it’s easy to forget that McDonough’s career began in earnest with an outstanding turn in the 1994 Disney classic Angels in the Outfield, which featured Danny Glover, Tony Danza, and Christopher Lloyd in starring roles; McDonough appeared alongside other future stars including Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Matthew McConaughey. For McDonough, the role was more than a career breakthrough; as he told Remind, the film had a very personal meaning for him — not just because he had been a college baseball player himself, but because his role helped him honor his then-recently-passed mother.
