James Woods Dropped by ‘Political Liberal’ Talent Agent on July 4th, Actor Says
James Woods, the Oscar-nominated actor and outspoken Hollywood conservative, said late Wednesday that he has been dropped by his longtime talent agent, Ken Kaplan, over his politics.
The news was first revealed by the Emmy-winning actor himself on Twitter, who shared an email he said he received from Kaplan on Wednesday.
“It’s the 4th of July and I’m feeling patriotic. I don’t want to represent you anymore. I mean I could go on a rant but you know what I’d say,” said Kaplan, who Woods described as a “political liberal.”
