The endorsements continue to roll in for Ted Cruz, who's also surging in the polls. Last week, two hundred faith leaders endorsed him for president. They were followed yesterday by actor and producer James Woods.
Woods -- who's best known for his roles in Once Upon a Time in America, Casino, and White House Down -- says he decided to support Cruz after a forty minute-long telephone conversation with the senator:
[TWEET]
Woods went on to explain that Cruz could count on his support because he "has a strong posture in foreign policy and an unvarnished view of the domestic economic disaster that Obama has been." He added: "The recent tragedy in Paris affirmed that we cannot have a Commander-in-Chief who will sleep through a terrorist attack." Another reason Woods supports Cruz is his "steadfast devotion to conservative principles."
[TWEET]
"Finally," Woods writes, "I found him to be truly down to earth. I believe he loves this country and like so many of us is appalled by the Obama debacle."
[TWEET]
Earlier in the race, Woods endorsed Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of HP. He has now rescinded that endorsement (while saying he still greatly admires her) in favor of Cruz.
It's yet another sign that the Cruz campaign has taken off, and that most of the other candidates are now reduced to also-ran status.

Chuck’s awesome. And he never looks older lol
Salvador certainly wasn’t.
Lol....maybe he’s using all of those products he hawks. No knee surgery for him!!
rofl!!! capitalism at work!!!
i would bet good money it doesn’t work :)
He was in The Way We Were? I remember hating that film.
I fell in love with him in Against All Odds, a film I really related to for a number of reasons, including the locations. But he was an absolute gem in that movie, acting with his whole face and eyes, heart and soul. Until the end where he meets his demise, and they needed to give him some stupid dialogue for that scene. He’s been my favorite actor since that movie and he does not disappoint.
“some crazy movie with Melanie Griffith”
Another Day In Paradise. He played the leader of a band of functioning junkies. Good flick, good actor!
Hollywood has more conservatives than is commonly realized, especially among character actors and those behind the camera and in production and support services. The shift of the Left against Israel helped to spur a trend toward the Right, as have personal collisions with the hard facts of life. Robert Downey, Jr., for example, declines to discuss politics in detail but says that after his prison experience, he could no longer be a liberal.
it was good :) and crazy.
Steadfast devotion to conservative principles. Absolutely. That's why he's the candidate conservatives support.
I agree completely. The press and GOP establishment has done it's best to paint him as a fringe candidate, but as people learn about his principles and how he's stood for them, they like what they see.
And yet 3 years ago ‘conservatives’ threw their vote and their integrity away to vote for a hard leftist over him. And lost both. Imagine my surprise that NOW that the damage is done, he’s ‘conservative’ enough and his name means something to you people.
Which, of course, is why he's conservative. And, supports Cruz. :)
Good for him. Joining other Hollywood men who like/endorse Cruz. It is a very good thing Conservatives have a voice in that tinsel town. James Woods has always been a favorite once seen in VideoDrome in the early 1980s. Welcome to the club, sir.
GO TRUMP! GO CRUZ! ~ YOU WIN OR WE LOSE!!
He thought this was the Curz forum.
Poor guy...
(Yes, I know.)
Hmmmmm..... need to do a poll. Who has heard of James Wood and who has heard of Virgil Goode. If you are going to do some name dropping, you gotta do better than that.
Woods rather.....
It’s not about name dropping, it’s about conservative credentials. Woods is a good guy, no question about that, however Virgil Goode IS the ‘conservative’s conservative’ and he had quite the following here on FR in the last election cycle, and Woods didn’t.
Thanks for playing. Johnny? Tell Catfish what lovely prizes we have for him...
Not that I’ve ever been accused of being a peacemaker, but I’d vote for either of them for entirely different reasons. Cruz because he’s a true constitutional conservative and Trump because he’s a capitalist and a real American who’s fed up with the direction we’ve taken under “Ears in Chief”.
As that famous American philosopher Rodney King once said, “Can’t we all just get along?”
Ding, ding! Come out swingin’...!
