How does it feel to always be the bad guy? Neal McDonough has an idea.

It’s in the new film called “The Shift” that hits theaters December 1st. It’s from the same studio that brought us “Sound of Freedom” and is a modern-day sci-fi retelling of the book of Job. Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams talks with Neal about taking on this daunting role, reshaping his career when he was criticized for refusing to kiss on screen, and so much more.
