Neal McDonough stars as Dave Williams on ABC's "Desperate Housewives."

Neal McDonough has displayed astonishing versatility with a wide range of roles in film, television and theater, joining a select group of actors who combine a leading man's profile with a character actor's art. Neal McDonough has just filmed "Street Fighter" for Fox, starred as a Marine captain in Clint Eastwood's award-nominated "Flags of Our Fathers," and played a Coast Guard rescue swimmer haunted by tragedy in "The Guardian," alongside Kevin Costner. Neal McDonough also appears in the films "Traitor," opposite Guy Pearce and Don Cheadle, "The Last Time," co-starring Michael Keaton and Brendan Fraser, "American Gothic" and the indie film "Forever Strong."

Raised in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Neal McDonough attended Syracuse University and later trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. It was his co-starring role in Steven Spielberg's "Minority Report," alongside Tom Cruise, that first drew audiences' attention.

In the Golden Globe and Emmy-winning HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers," produced by Tom Hanks and Spielberg, Neal McDonough starred as Buck Compton, a rugged World War II hero whose all-American veneer is cracked by the horrors of war. Neal McDonough played a starring role on NBC's drama "Medical Investigation," but is perhaps best known as Deputy District Attorney David McNorris in NBC's "Boomtown," for which he was recognized by the Television Critics Association with a nomination for Individual Achievement in Drama. More recently Neal McDonough appeared in the Sci Fi Channel's six-hour miniseries "Tin Man," with Zooey Deschanel and Alan Cumming.

Neal McDonough's stage credits include "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Always Alone," the latter production earning him a Dramalogue Best Actor Award.

On the big screen Neal McDonough's credits include "Timeline," "Walking Tall" and "A Perfect Little Man," which earned him the Best Actor Award at the 2000 Atlantic City Film Festival. Neal McDonough was recently seen in Rogue Pictures' "The Hitcher," the thriller "I Know Who Killed Me," opposite Lindsay Lohan and Julia Ormond, and "88 Minutes," with Al Pacino.

Neal McDonough lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Ruv, and two children.
