James Woods in Pretty Persuasion (2005)

JAMES WOODS (“Hank Joyce”) has been impressing audiences for over three decades with his compelling performances. He has moved effortlessly from big box office studio films to festival-celebrated independent features, in a wide spectrum from comedy to drama. He was also just seen in the outrageous comedy "Be Cool", the sequel to “Get Shorty.”

The son of a US Intelligence officer, he earned a scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, completed a degree in political science and then headed off to New York to pursue a career on the stage. After appearing in a handful of New York City theater productions, Woods landed his first film role in “All the Way Home” and followed that up with supporting roles in “The Way We Were” and “The Choirboys”. However, it was Woods’ cold blooded performance as the cop killer in “The Onion Field,” that captured both audience’s and critic’s attention.

Other film work includes “Once Upon a Time In America,” Salvador,” “Citizen Cohen,” “Casino,” “Nixon,” “John Q,” “The Virgin Suicides, “ “Riding in Cars with Boys,” “Northfork,” “Contact,” “Any Given Sunday,” and “Scary Movie 2.” Woods was also recently seen on television as the mayor of New York in “The Rudy Giuliani Story.”

Woods has received two Oscar nominations (“Salvador” and “Ghosts of Mississippi”), a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV in “In Love and War,” along with eight other Golden Globe nominations and two Best Actor Emmys among numerous stage, screen and television awards.
