Later in 2001, he played First Lieutenant Lynn “Buck” Compton in Band of Brothers. He next starred as David McNorris in NBC’s Boomtown and played Dr. Stephen Connor in Medical Investigation.

Known for playing tough guys on film and television, Neal McDonough works out and trains hard to look the part. Even when not preparing for roles, the actor already observes a healthy lifestyle with nutritious eating and an active lifestyle. For his role in Captain America, though, he underwent extensive training along with the other casts.

“We had to work every day so we had to figure out ways not just to stay in shape and work out a lot, but when we’d see each other on the set we’d have our little mini boot camps everyday,” said the actor. “We’d have pushup competitions, and we’d have belittling competitions.”
