James Woods is well known for his roles on the big and small screen. He's been nominated for two Oscars (Salvador in 1986 and Ghosts of Mississippi in 1996) and has had roles in notable productions like Casino, Nixon, and The Virgin Suicides. Most recently, Woods has been in a supporting role on the new HBO drama Ray Donovan which he told me "great show... did it as a favor for a friend and love it."
What might not be known, however, is that Woods has a strong passion for the game of poker. He appeared in Celebrity Poker Showdown at the height of the poker boom and has 87K in lifetime tournament winnings including two WSOP cashes and a LAPC WPT cash. Recognized by many around the tournament area, he is graciously posing for pictures with fans on the break and appears to be in a great mood. It'd be great to see him make a deep run tonight.
While talking with him, he asked how he could follow the coverage. James Woods is now a follower of the Borgata Twitter feed. Yes, he might follow 2,000+ people but thanks for the add James!
