(20,818 posts)the KKK assassin of the civil rights activist Medgar Evers, Byron De La Beckwith, in a movie made about how he was finally convicted of the murder decades later, was truly and chillingly realistic, a real actor's achievement. Now it's obvious that he wasn't acting at all in that role. Disgusting.

(26,260 posts)I'm trying to think of a prominent role where he played someone likeable. He always seemed to be cast as the consummate jerk/asshole/villain and he was always VERY believable in those roles.

(985 posts)IMO Woods has given many quality performances and I find it hard to believe that he personally turns out to be such a knee jerk douchebag. He most often played creepy quasi villains, which maybe turns out to be typecasting. But, he has played some likeable characters. In True Believer, with Robert Downey, Jr., he played a William Kuntser like attorney, fighting for the downtrodden. And, in Salvador, he played a journalist who traveled to El Salvador and fought to get out stories uncovering war crimes.

(5,042 posts)Amber Tamblyn, 34, took to Twitter on September 11 to allege that now-70-year-old actor James Woods had "tried to pick [up]" her and a friend and that he invited her to Las Vegas when she was 16. According to People, Amber's tweets came in response to actor Armie Hammer tweeting to Woods, "Didn't you date a 19 year old when you were 60.......?" following Woods's criticism of Armie's upcoming film, in which he plays a 24-year-old dating a 17-year-old.
"James Woods tried to pick me and my friend up at a restaurant once. He wanted to take us to Vegas. 'I'm 16' I said. 'Even better' he said," Amber tweeted.

But my question is, if Obama is Muslim why have there never been pictures of his prayer rugs and him kneeling on it in prayer. And there are plenty of pictures of him drinking alcohol which is just barely excepted in the Muslim faith. He just hates Obama because he is a black man.

(7,528 posts)And even if he were Muslim and it were all some big ruse, the truth would still that he had a proud, prosperous 8 year American Presidency. Fox must be shoveling coal into the destroy-the-legacy furnace to make Woods go off like that.
'Murican as DJT supposedly is, he's managed to crash his office into the side of a mountain in less than a year.

(23,945 posts)PBO did a fantastic job as president, rebuilt our national reputation and presided over a memorable economic recovery in spite of unified opposition from Republican villains every step of the way.
Constitution: "no religious test for holding office"
PBO passed the real tests of the office with flying colors and will be remembered kindly by history. how will history remember your champions mr. Woods?

(23,339 posts)There must be some reason to hide the fact that his middle name is Hussein.
All other presidents' initials include the middle one: HST, FDR, JFK, DDE, WJC. Even Hillary would have been HRC, not PHC.
So, yeah, we care if he's got some Muslim-sounding name.
I don't know why.

(9,117 posts)In other circumstances, a wide swath of the Christian community would have found former President Obamas conversion uplifting and inspiring. And no doubt, if Obama had been a white, Right-wing ultra-conservative whod been converted by the likes of Graham or Falwell, theyd be praising his conversion to the skies.
But it looks like being inspired and witnessed to by the Afro-American parishioners of the churches he visited just wasnt and isnt good enough for self-styled conservatives.
What was the problem, Jimmie? Were those Chicagoans who witnessed to Barrack Obama a little too colored for you?
With pronouncements like Woods, I see NO reason to take right-wing pronouncements of piety or devotion very seriously.

Who believes that TWITLER followed COHN around into Studio 54 in the '70s without partaking of the dope and orgies without partaking, and why would the orgiasts *want* a non-participant hanging around?!1
And here is the current source WOODS cites for his animus, one Jacob WOHL, looking very mature:

Oct 9, 2017 - @TBPInvictus here: One of Donald Trump's sources for information on financial markets and economics, 19-year-old Jacob Wohl, the hedge fund manager and occasional Fox Business News guest (and subject of a Vice segment), who was accused by the Arizona Corporation Commission (AZCC) of ...This 19-Year-Old Is Trump's Latest Market Whisperer - Bloomberg

Aug 17, 2017 - No sooner had President Donald Trump lost the backing of Jamie Dimon and Larry Fink than he was heralding support from a somewhat lesser financial figure: Jacob Wohl. ... That would be the fellow from Corona, California, who calls himself the worlds youngest hedge-fund manager.

(22,976 posts)He was fidgeting, pacing, cursing, nail-biting, and jabbering a mile-a-minute. I had to walk past him going downstairs to the parking lot.
Using a pay phone is a giveaway regarding the vintage of this true tale. It took place in West Los Angeles, about 30 years ago, give or take a month. But I pegged him then for either 1) a cokehead; or) a mental case; or 3) a cokehead AND a mental case.
The smart money has always been on #3 above.
