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.

Wil Wheaton on Eureka.

Cool!

Sweet! I hope he's bad again.

I'd be happier if he was taking Poochie's place, but I'm guessing it's a one-off gig?

I'm pretty sure Poochie's not going anywhere. No matter how much I may hope.

Instead I will focus on hoping he takes his shirt off, because I hear he's ripped now.

Besides, Wil taking a permanent role on Eureka would mess with his ability to return to Leverage, and that totally needs to happen.

Tru dat. Although Leverage would most likely be a one-off (or two-off if we're lucky).

Hmm, it would be nice to Colin or Erica to get a one-off on Leverage. I know somebody already threw Ed Quinn's name out on John's blog.
