Wood's performances in Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday, Sofia Coppola's directorial debut, Virgin Suicides, his critically-hailed work in The General's Daughter, Another Day in Paradise, Clint Eastwood's True Crime and John Carpenter's Vampires reflect his diversified range as an actor.

Woods' performances in Salvador and Ghosts of Mississippi earned him Oscar nominations. He further demonstrated his versatility in Oliver Stone's Nixon and Killer, Martin Scorsese's Casino and Kicked in the Head, Robert Zemeckis' Contact, Once Upon a Time in America, The Onion Field and Hercules as well as his acclaimed television performances in Indictment: The McMartin Trial, HBO's Citizen Cohn and his Emmy-winning work in Promise and My Name is Bill W. Additional credits include The Hard Way, Immediate Family, The Boost, Best Seller, Eyewitness, Split Image, Distance, Fastwalking, Cat's Eye, The Choirboys, Cop and The Black Marble.

Woods made his film debut in Elia Kazan's The Visitors, followed by a small but memorable role in The Way We Were. His first major starring role was in Alex and the Gypsy followed by Arthur Penn's Night Moves.
