"At a very, very down point in my career, Rob literally saved my career and really put me back on track in a way that was so important and rewarding in my life, and he really fought for me when the studio didn't want me in a movie," Woods said on "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Monday.
"I was 32 years too young for the part, but he really believed that I was right and could do it. It was something that virtually nobody agreed with except one of his partners, Martin Shafer, who was the head of Castle Rock and one of the greatest production companies ever," Woods continued.
"We did ‘Ghosts of Mississippi’ together, and I went from really being basically out of a job to getting an Academy Award nomination, and I give all the credit to Rob."
James Woods, who is a staunch conservative, said that he and Rob Reiner, who was a diehard liberal, didn't let politics affect their friendship.
Woods, who has frequently espoused conservative views, said he and Reiner, a progressive, remained close despite their differences.
He recalled that friends were often puzzled to see them laughing together at parties, but said Reiner never allowed ideological disputes to interfere with their friendship.
"I judge people by how they treat me, and Rob Reiner was a godsend in my life," he said. "We got along great, we loved each other… and he was always on my side."
Woods went on to call the late "All in the Family" star a "patriot" who loved America deeply, even if the two disagreed on how that patriotism should be expressed. -

Woods was a neocon, not a MAGA, so he actually had a heart.

Dare to dream that one day we have a president that thinks like James Woods
in terms of being able to see people not politics.
This wasn't that long ago, but feels like ages:
I agree with the premise, but he's said some awful **** over the years. This, for example, which ironically, is about people killing their parents...

True, I also think Mitt Romney was another one, despite his morman beliefs could see past Republican and Democrats division for a greater good. Look at some of the recent past presidents, Republican or Democrat, they are best of friends with each other.

Romney is a good man and I am quite confident he would have been a good President; which is why he didn't get elected. People just want screaming partisans now.
He nor McCain had no chance against Obama. -

Maybe liberals will start treating Woods decently.
I hope so!
The Left and the Right might begin to understand that working together is better than WAR!
We are Americans! Can't we just work together to make our country better than this mess it has become?
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

There is no more working together. The two sides just become more extreme on every issue. Very few are willing to compromise. Everything is an 11/10. Look at the reaction to the 8 Dems that voted to open the government. Branded "traitors". For opening the ****ing government… which Dems cried about. They wanted it open until they didn't.
