Just weeks after James Woods said he was blacklisted in Hollywood because of his conservative views, the Oscar-nominated actor said he was retiring from the industry.

Woods tweeted this summer that he had “accepted the fact that” he was blacklisted from Hollywood because of his views. He has said being conservative has made it tough to find work in Hollywood the past few years.

“His Twitter feed rocks.

He’s brilliant and he pings the left all day, every day.”

He's past 70 and looks it. Just not many roles left, conservative or not.

I’ve blacklisted him because he throws away girlfriends on their 21st birthday.

He’s a cradle robber, and finds comfort in knowing that his tastes in women are protected and defined by an accommodating law.

In general, I consider him a pedophile. I wouldn’t dare place libel on him - But I put him near the bottom of the list of conservatives.

Had a nice role on “Dice” a week or two ago. Watched it because he was in it.

I suggested the same thing to actress Julienne Davis who has been blacklisted by hollyweird. I’m friends with her on FB, and she is a true conservative.

He’s really been speaking out the truth lately. I think he knows he was killing his chances for work. Pity he’s a great actor, he just killed the inspector roll in les misrerabes. The best.

He is a great actor, it’s a shame. There needs to be an alternative to Hollywood, there is a huge audience out here for clean movies

Based on the picture you posted, he’d be perfect if they ever decided to make a movie about Leslie Nielsen.

You consider a man who is interested in 21 year old women (or, presumably, 18-21 year old women) a pedophile? I really, really think you need to revisit a dictionary to understand what "pedophile" means. While I don't condone the reckless culture of promiscuity that reigns today, all Woods is doing, assuming he is doing exactly as you say, is enjoying the company of women in their physical prime, which is to say, in the prime of their beauty and fertility, if not maturity. If he is not doing so with the intention of marrying them, then he might be a bit caddish, but he is NOT a pedophile. In fact, in terms of cads, he might be the most sane man alive.

Wasn’t he once a leftie b4 911? I do believe he was on a ‘practice 911’ flight. Saw the suspicious behavior, reported it to the FBI and was told to go pound sand.

It’s odd that an industry that is supposed to foster creativity requires that everyone agree with each other on every single political issue. No wonder the industry puts out so many bad films every year.
