NEAL McDONOUGH (Lt. Hawk) plays the new helmsman of the Enterprise-E. Being a part of the "Star Trek" family has been a life-long dream for the young actor. "I have three pictures on my bedroom wall," relates McDonough. "One is a picture of my mom. The other is the Holy Virgin Mary. And on this big mirror, I have a picture of William Shatner as Captain Kirk. I was a really big fan as a kid. Now I play this heroic top gun type -- 'Young Stud Buck' as they called me on the set, which is pretty embarrassing." "As the film evolved," explains producer Berman, "the role of 'Hawk' became more and more important. The character has a certain degree of innocence, and when Neal came in and read for it, he just floored us." "Never in my wildest dreams," muses McDonough, "did I think I be on 'Trek' and also be the guy who flies the ship."

Trained at the London Academy of Dramatic Arts and Sciences, McDonough's film credits include North's War, 3 Wishes, Angels in the Outfield and Darkman. For television, his credits include roles on the series, "NYPD Blue," "The Client," "Jag," "Cybill," "Quantum Leap," "VR" and "China Beach" among others. For theatre, he won a 1991 Best Actor Dramalogue Award for "Away Alone." His theatre credits also include "Cheap Talk," "Foreigner," "As You Like It," "Rivals," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Bald Soprano" and "Waiting for Lefty." McDonough can soon be seen starring in the film sequel, Angels in the Outfield 2. He is also the voice of Bruce Banner on the animated television series, "The Incredible Hulk." He graduated Syracuse University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He is single and lives in Los Angeles.
