Ah, maybe this is related to his loss of roles that he "claims" are due to politics..


The article reads like ole Mr. Woods is a bit pervy and among other things wanted to take some 16-year-olds to Vegas....

Like Hollywood cares about that. Seriously, they honestly WOULD be more likely to care about a person's politics than they would about how pervy they are. Weinstein was an open secret. Lots of the big names in Hollywood were "guests" of Jeffrey Epstein, another open secret. But they stayed big names because they had the right politics.

Now, Woods also looks like ten miles of ancient, bad road, so that might also have something to do with it. This isn't the days of John Wayne and Ronald Reagan, where patriotism was a good thing. In Hollywood, you've got to go woke -- liberal and then some.

I think it's well known that Woods has ALWAYS had very detached issues with paranoia and socialization. He said that he was blacklisted from Hollywood due to his political beliefs, though fails to mention that he's always been difficult prema donna, known as one of the most difficult actors to ever work with. John Carpenter was one of the few to like him because he kinda just let Woods do whatever he wanted on Vampires.

Then Woods goes onto say that he's actually received dozens of great acting offers since his 2013 retirement (I thought he was blacklisted?) but has willingly turned them down because he doesn't approve of the political affiliation with the director, writer, or actors. He's an all-time talent but he was his own worst enemy. Tons of republicans work in Hollyweird and still find tons of work.
