McDonough has had a long career in Hollywood as it began in 1990. He's known for his work in the television shows Band of Brothers, Boomtown, Tin Man and Desperate Housewives. The 57-year-old actor is also known for appearing in movies such as Walking Tall, Minority Report, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and Apex. 

In 2021, McDonough spoke to ComicBook.com and was asked what makes him a great villain. "So many people ask me that," McDonough said. "'You play such fantastic, delicious villains, but you're such a nice Christian dad type of guy in real life.' And it's pretty simple. It's because I wouldn't do sex scenes, as everyone knows, so I had to create a career for myself and it worked. As hard as it was at times, to become the villain du jour has been so fantastic. And also for my career. I get to be kind of like a shark. I get to go in and feed on Yellowstone for a while, and then jump back out, and then go feed on something else for a while, then jump back out, then go feed on Apex for a while. It keeps the ball moving."
