Yellowstone star Neal McDonough entertained audiences as the villianous Malcom Beck on the show. He appeared throughout the second season.

But don't expect the star to ever go back and watch himself on Yellowstone.
"I've never seen it. You know, I don't watch any of my stuff," McDonough said on the "Arroyo Grande" podcast.
He explained that it brings up bad memories when he watches what he stars in.
"As a method actor, I can tell you if I look at a frame - that's why I don't watch any of my stuff. If I look at a frame of a show from 20 years ago, I know exactly the thought I was thinking. I know the song I was thinking about. I know where I was going. So going back to me sometimes can be really kind of traumatic and painful," he shared.
'Yellowstone' Star Talks Projects
The Yellowstone star confessed to skipping out on movie premieres to avoid seeing his performances.
"I'll go to premieres of our films, and I'll do the red carpet. [His wife] Ruvé and I will walk in, out the exit, grab a nice dinner someplace, go to the party after. 'How'd you like the movie?' 'It was great. It was awesome. I loved it.' I just don't like to watch myself," he said.
McDonough says he doesn't need to see himself on screen to know if he's doing a good job.
"I was there on the day," he said. "I know I did a great job because God gave me a talent. I'm terrible at pounding nails. I'm not very good at telling jokes. But as Ruvé said, 'Man, you can act.' And so I don't need to look to see if it was good or not. They keep on hiring me, right? If they keep on hiring, I must be doing something right."
This comes after McDonough lost out on a project in 2010 for refusing to film intimate scenes with his female co-star. He struggled personally afterward.
"What time is the bar open? That was generally my thought process back then," he explained to Fox News Digital in May. "It was, you know, fired from a show because I wouldn't kiss a woman. No one would hire me because they thought I was this religious nut bag, which is that I love my wife so much. And no one can understand it, no one could understand it."
But eventually his career bounced back.
