In 2014, she joined the Covenant House International Board of Directors, which oversees programs for homeless youth in 27 cities in six countries across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. A dog lover, she has two canine companions, Butler and Georgia, adopted from Eleventh Hour Rescue, a volunteer-based, non-profit organization that saves dogs from death row. In 2012, she and her now husband, actor Will Swenson, received PFLAG National’s Straight for Equality Award.
She sits on the advisory board of the advocacy organization Broadway Impact and has been featured in campaigns for Freedom to Marry, NOH8, and PFLAG NYC. “In addition to her professional obligations, McDonald is an ardent proponent of marriage equality. Just wandering if you where a member? If you are read the parable of the beam in your on eye and leave the righteous indignation to The Lord He is the only One who can judge. Are you, and therefore you are qualified to judge what someone else chooses? Swenson is an LDS actor, and a good one that’s what this article is about – not his personal life. We are all free to choose our path in life and no one I know is perfect at it. Leland Dixon, “We as members” don’t need to make excuses for anyone. I believe in being kind and respectful of all. There are enough other news sites ready to tear people down, and I imagine it’s already very hard for actors to hear all negative comments they are subjected to, when in the public eye. In the future, you should stick to those that we as members should look up to instead of those for whom we must make excuses for their less than eternal choices.Īlthough it can be nice to hear about how actors are doing in their personal as well as professional lives, I appreciate that this article doesn’t have negative judgements about someone’s personal life as you are suggesting.

Two of Merlin’s brothers also played in the NFL. In addition to acting, Merlin was named to the NFL Hall of Fame and worked as a football commentator for NBC.
Moroni Olsen happens to be related to the late Merlin Olsen, also an LDS actor. Moroni’s career was long, and if you check out his credits you will find that he played some very interesting roles. You are thinking of the late Moroni Olsen.
There was an actor named Nephi Olson, I believe in secondary roles in some old black and white movies. Take a fun look into one of your Utah’s greatest voice talents. Keep up the good work, but get all the credits in. One being Target (Christmas 2014) and several others. Also Kirby has done quite a few commercials. He is not credited at all with all of his credits. (trust me) I worked with Curt Doucett on Whole Armor of god. How could you miss Curt Doussett hosting BYU TV’s “Legends”? He’s great!
