“My dad was my hero, and I thought, ‘If my hero, my best friend, is headed down this path, maybe I should take a look at it again,’” he said. “The last couple years of my dad’s life, he started saying he was praying for me,” he said. McClintock also rekindled his faith in conversations with his father. However, he celebrated 23 years of sobriety on January 1 of 2023. I kind of took that on and kind of walked away from any kind of organized religion.”Įarly in his career, McClintock said that he struggled with drugs and alcohol to cope. They used to take my desk and they would put my desk in the corner of the room and then they would take a partition and it separated me from the class, so that kind of became a through line for my life. “They diagnosed me with hyperactivity, and I was on Ritalin and all this stuff. I grew up Catholic, went to Catholic school. Growing up in a Catholic school that ostracized him, McClintock said that his journey of faith has been one of both pain and grace. The guy’s a bulldog.”ĭespite his success in Hollywood, McClintock said that his upbringing had many challenges that challenged his idea of faith. “I’d be dragging and he’d be fired up 24/7, so in the movie, you understand why he was so tenacious about his son. “Rick picked me up every morning,” he recalled. In preparation for his role, McClintock said that he and Richard Newman drove to set together every day. JC Films and Bryce Newman and Rick Newman were kind enough to let me dedicate the film to my dad. “Unfortunately, he passed away before he got to see the film. My dad was my best friend and my biggest supporter and he was very excited about having me direct this film,” he told Movieguide® in a recent interview.
“When I read the story, at that time my father was very sick himself.
