Actor James Woods is a conservative. Or, should we call him “former” actor since it has been a decade since he has been allowed by the radicals in Hollywood to have a substantial acting role.
He rarely does interviews but made an exception for former Fox News host Megyn Kelly. During the interview, he described how being outspoken about his political views have cost him but that he’s not going to stop since this is still the United States of America… for now.
Others who work in Hollywood often come to him secretly and tell him things such as they’re considering voting for Donald Trump. But those who haven’t established themselves cannot be as open as Woods, Jon Voight, or the handful of well-known actors who made their mark before being a conservative meant being blacklisted.
He discussed how his role as Executive Producer for Oppenheimer was downplayed because they didn’t want Academy Awards voters, the vast majority of whom are radical leftists, to ding the movie because of his involvement.
“When Oppenheimer came out, there was a discussion about my Twitter, and it was gently suggested that I basically remain invisible, which was painful,” he said. “On the other hand, I’m a pragmatic person and I thought, a lot of people put their effort into this, so I’m just going to be an invisible pariah … I stepped back and basically took one for the team.”
But there’s good news that came from being involved in the award-winning movie. He has at least two projects coming as part of his “second act,” including an upcoming project with Oliver Stone.
As has always been the case, Woods didn’t hold back. He has always spoke his mind and is not averse to being controversial even when being playful.
“I can’t believe I just asked Megyn Kelly on-air to have a threesome,” he said at one point.
Here’s the interview:
