Conservative Actor James Woods Says He Was Dropped by Hollywood Talent Agent via Email

Share

Conservative actor James Woods, talented but outspokenly right wing, has been dropped by his Hollywood talent agent.

Woods says his agent, Ken Kaplan of the Gersh Agency, dropped him via a short email yesterday. Kaplan represents a lot of actors who probably didn’t appreciate Woods’ views, including Winona Ryder and Kristen Stewart.

Yesterday, of course, was Independence Day. Maybe Kaplan had just had enough of Wood’s right wing rantings.
