In truth, he said, it was funny.
“I’m the world’s biggest tease on Twitter,” Woods said. “I do not remotely take myself seriously in any way. Why do you think I’m on ‘Family Guy’?”
The guy is a real patriot. He was on one of the late night shows...maybe Leno...a few years back.
Love James Woods. Glad to have him on OUR side.
He’s a very intelligent and interesting person:
Early life
Woods was born in Vernal, Utah and had a brother ten years younger than him. His father, Gail Peyton Woods, was an army intelligence officer who died in 1960 after routine surgery. His mother, Martha A. (née Smith), operated a pre-school after her husband’s death and later married Thomas E. Dixon. Woods grew up in Warwick, Rhode Island, where he attended Pilgrim High School, from which he graduated in 1965. He is of part Irish descent and was raised Catholic, briefly serving as an altar boy.
Woods ultimately chose to pursue his undergraduate studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he majored in political science[9], although he originally planned a career as an eye surgeon. While at MIT, Woods pledged to the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. He was also an active member of the student theatre group “Dramashop” where he both acted in and directed a number of plays. To pursue a career in acting, he dropped out of MIT in 1969 before his graduation.
Woods has said that he became an actor thanks to Tim Affleck (father of actors Ben and Casey Affleck), who was a stage manager at the Theatre Company of Boston while Woods was a student there.

I have been in love with him since Against All Odds. He was my favorite actor and I didn’t even know his politics (and didn’t have any of my own yet either!). He’s the real deal all the way around.
