I've Suddenly Become a Fan of a Villain

This is a rare story coming out of Hollywood:

Neal McDonough is a marvelous actor who elevates every role he plays, whether it's in Band of Brothers or Desperate Housewives. So when he was suddenly replaced with David James Elliott 3 days into the filming on ABC's new series Scoundrels earlier this week, there had to be a story behind the story. The move was officially explained as a casting change. But, in fact, McDonough was sacked because of his refusal to do some heated love scenes with babelicious star (and Botox pitchwoman) Virginia Madsen. The reason? He's a family man and a Catholic, and he's always made it clear that he won't do sex scenes.

The only show I'd seen McDonough in was Desperate Housewives, in which he played a pretty evil character. He was easy to hate in that role, but this story has made me admire him in real life.
