Woods’ acting career began on stage in New York, where he honed his craft in off-Broadway productions. His breakthrough in film came with The Onion Field (1979), where his portrayal of a sociopathic criminal garnered critical acclaim. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Woods delivered powerful performances in films such as Videodrome (1983), Salvador (1986), for which he earned his first Academy Award nomination, and Ghosts of Mississippi (1996), which brought him his second Oscar nod. Known for his intensity and sharp wit, he also made his mark on television, winning two Primetime Emmy Awards for his roles in Promise (1986) and My Name Is Bill W. (1989).
Woods’ versatility extended beyond acting, with his vocal talents featured in animated series like Family Guy and video games such as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. However, despite his illustrious career, Woods’ outspoken conservative political views increasingly overshadowed his work in Hollywood.
In the 2010s, Woods became a prominent figure on social media, where his controversial and often polarizing commentary sparked significant backlash. As an unapologetic critic of liberal policies and Hollywood’s perceived political biases, his public persona clashed with the predominantly left-leaning industry. This outspokenness, combined with accusations of fostering an unwelcoming environment for collaborators, reportedly led to a decline in opportunities for the veteran actor.
By the late 2010s, Woods claimed he had been unofficially “blacklisted” in Hollywood due to his political stances. While his supporters viewed him as a victim of cancel culture, others argued that his confrontational style alienated key industry players. Today, Woods remains a vocal figure outside the mainstream, a polarizing example of the intersection between celebrity and politics.
