Damn. I was looking forward to having AD on my tv regularly.

Spoilage Lite - The Return
[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
Anna from SPN has been cast on SGU, as well as Teabag from Heroes.
Neal McDonough has been replaced on The Scoundrels by David James Elliot. Apparently Neal doesn't do love scenes, and the script called for one.
Seriously?
Huh.
Well, it will be nice to see DJE on the screen, again, at least.
I wonder if he'll play scenes where he kills people. He was in Band of Brothers, after all.
Yeah. I kinda judge.
Given the last thing I saw DJE in was some godawful dragon thing on SyFy, he could use the work.
I loved McDonough in Boomtown, where he played an unapologetic adulterer...but now I can't remember if there were any love scenes in that. I was surprised to hear that he is so dedicated to his Catholic background that he won't even kiss another woman on screen.
I can't blame him for having his convictions, but it sounds like the script he agreed to had elements he didn't object to until he was already working on the project. That's not on.
They must have known going in that he wouldn't do sex scenes. Either they didn't tell him they'd come up, or they changed their minds. But if he's 44 and he hasn't done one yet--is it likely that he misled them?

Pretty sure he kissed someone in Boomtown.
See, that's what I thought, (must rewatch, but the story I read (which could totally have been wrong, coming as it did from a florid British rag) that he refused to even kiss Virginia Madson in the production from which he was just fired.
Maybe the no kissing thing is recent. Or, non-existent.
Again, from that same story, one of the producers commented that he had read the script with the sex scenes extant before contracting for the part. You would have thought that, if they knew that about him, they would not have pursued him and that he would not have taken the part in the first place.
I get 'creative differences' coming up in a production, but this seems different. More cut and dried. So, somebody must not have been playing fair.
Too bad in either case because I really do like his work but could not bring myself to visit Wisteria Lane on his behalf.
