James Woods has been dropped by his “liberal” talent agent.
The outspoken and conservative actor, who is a big supporter of President Donald Trump, shared the very direct email he received from Ken Kaplan on Twitter. Kaplan, whose client list at the Gersh agency includes stars like Kristen Stewart and Winona Ryder, was apparently inspired to dump Woods, 71, on Independence Day.
So this email from my agent (a political liberal) today… pic.twitter.com/RLXUWi9no8

Woods posted his response on Twitter.
My response: “Dear Ken, I don’t actually. I was thinking if you’re feeling patriotic, you would appreciate free speech and one’s right to think as an individual. Be that as it may, I want to thank you for all your hard work and devotion on my behalf. Be well.” https://t.co/nEe8OMaWb2

Prior to getting dropped, it was business as usual for Woods on Twitter.
#Democrats don’t bother to pretend anymore. They want a mob of illegal aliens to pour across borderless, unregulated boundaries of our sovereign nation. They want this for one reason only: not for the sake of compassion, nor humanity, just for #IllegalVotes. #DemocratVoterFraud https://t.co/0GS6pfyObj

Well, maybe try that forged document gambit again. But, of course, it didn’t work the last time you tried it and this time nobody is listening to you. Better you have some marshmallows and be quiet. https://t.co/lor9FBcxbJ

Although Kaplan didn’t explicitly state he was severing ties due to political beliefs, Woods has tweeted before about being “backlisted” from Hollywood over his conservative views.
While #Liberals scream about the 50’s blacklist, my #Repub actor friends are terrified of losing their ability to provide for their families https://t.co/MjsiUBSxB5

Absolutely. The only reason I express my views is that I have accepted the fact that I’m blacklisted. Also I bought Apple stock in the 80’s https://t.co/mNGNhRmx9d

The twice Oscar-nominated actor was apparently a Democrat for years until about 1999.
I was for years, until #Clinton was impeached. Every single #Democrat without exception stood behind a convicted perjurer. That was the end. https://t.co/FSQpoBXAAt

From slamming NFL anthem protests, to posts so graphic about abortion that Twitter has had the images removed, the Casino star spends much of his time causing a stir on social media (as Amber Tamblyn can attest to).
Hey, maybe Woods can get a role sans agent in the secret Stacey Dash Roe v. Wade film that just started shooting. We don’t think his beliefs will hinder the anti-abortion film.
