He doesn't act like the big, spoiled movie star.' 'Yet he had a very positive outlook on life that transcended to the whole crew,' McDonough says. But they aren't egotistical.'Ĭruise was going through his divorce with actress Nicole Kidman at the time. 'They're like kids who enjoy what they're doing. Working on the set with Cruise and Spielberg for three and a half months was a wonderful but challenging experience, McDonough says.

His role in 'A Perfect Little Man,' earned him the Best Actor Award at the 2000 Atlantic Film Festival. He also had a minor part in the films 'Darkman' and 'Ravenous,' a feature film about cannibalism in the 1800s, with Guy Pearce and David Arquette. McDonough expects more people to see him in this high-profile role than in his other film roles in 'Star Trek: First Contact,' the eighth Star Trek movie in 1996. When Spielberg asked him if he wanted to play Cruise's best friend in the film, he jumped at the chance. McDonough was cast in the $100 million film by director Steven Spielberg who was impressed by the actor's work in the HBO miniseries, 'Band of Brothers,' last year. 'It's a great, fun action flick with amazing special effects,' he says. McDonough plays his best friend, who is second in command, and has to hunt down Cruise's character. A twist occurs when Cruise's character, the captain, is about to commit a crime.

Set in Washington, D.C., the futuristic action-thriller is about an elite police squad that arrests killers before they commit their crimes. His supporting role opposite Cruise in 'Minority Report' is his best part so far. 'It's been a fantastic last few years,' McDonough, 36, said during a recent visit to the Cape. He also landed a lead role in 'Boomtown,' a new show on NBC's fall lineup. McDonough appears in Tom Cruise's new movie 'Minority Report,' which opens tomorrow. Since he left the Cape for Hollywood 11 years ago, the Barnstable High School graduate has worked steadily as an actor, with the roles getting bigger and better.
