There were once a time when James Woods was a highly revered actor who starred in Contact and Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America, as well as providing his distinctive voice to Hercules. At the time, the public was blissfully unaware of his right-wing conspiracist leanings, which was largely due to his lack of a platform in the pre-social media age. But so-called "cancel culture" led to Woods being dropped by his agent in 2018, after it transpired that the actor had been posting thoroughly offensive, alt-right untruths on Twitter.
One of the few Republicans in Hollywood, James Woods pretty much hasn't acted since his agent dropped him. So what exactly has he been doing all this time? Here's what James Woods has been up to since his agent dropped him.
9 He's Been Trying To Get Trump Re-Elected

6 He's Sparked Engagement Rumors With His Young Girlfriend
Does it come as much of a surprise that James Woods has a very young girlfriend? As of writing, Woods is 74-years-old, while his girlfriend, Sara Miller, is a mere 32-years-old.

There were rumors that Woods and Miller were engaged after they were seen sporting huge diamond rings.
5 Sean Young Accused Him Of Destroying Her Career
Sean Young was blacklisted by Hollywood for daring to speak up about sexual harassment decades before MeToo even existed. Hollywood may have ended her career, but Young continues to speak out on what she terms "toxic Hollywood men." The Blade Runner star called out Woods in particular, accusing him of destroying her prospects of a long and illustrious Hollywood career.
"He actually was successful in destroying my studio career," Young explained, adding, "I remember, I got hired by an agent and he grilled me for an hour about James Woods, and I was like, 'Oh, (expletive).' So I have to walk in every time now and explain why I'm not crazy? I don't see this guy having to explain anything, so what the (expletive) is your problem?"
4 Spreading Conspiracy Theories Online Is His Current Forte
Unfortunately, James Woods has gone from acclaimed Oscar-nominated actor to QAnon conspiracy theorist. QAnon advocates believe in a wholly unfounded and absurd theory that Democrats run a Satanic child abuse ring headed by Tom Hanks, with Donald Trump as the savior who is attempting to expose said abuers. It should be noted that Trump himself has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, so this theory makes little sense.
James Woods Tweeted, "I’m holding back my thoughts on #Q. Let’s see where the wind blows" before raging against Democrats supposedly protecting predators, a notion propagated by exponents of QAnon.
3 He's Been Raging Against Pronouns
As with many members of the alt-right, James Woods somehow views using suitable pronouns as a threat. Going on a transphobic Twitter rant, Woods raged against using "they" as a singular pronoun. But he got owned by the Dictionary (yes, the actual Dictionary), who replied, "They has been in use as a singular pronoun since the 1300s. Among its best known users in history: Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Jane Austen."
