James Woods was abandoned by his talent agent, and received the announcement in an email sent during the July 4th holiday.

The Oscar-nominated actor shared an e-mail screen shot with the subject "Well …" on his personal Twitter account.

The talent officer, Ken Kaplan, said that he had made the decision to no longer represent the francophone conservative star because he felt "patriotic".

"It's July 4th and I feel patriotic," wrote Kaplan. "I do not want to represent you anymore. I mean I can make a diatribe but you know what I would say. "

Woods, in turn, tweeted his response to Kaplan, which he described as a" political liberal. " "

" Dear Ken, I do not really do. I thought that if you felt patriotic, you would enjoy the freedom of expression and the right to think as an individual, "Woods replied.

" Whatever it is, I Thank you for your hard work and dedication. in my name. Be good. "

Although Kaplan did not explicitly say in his email that his decision to sever ties was about Woods' personal politics, it comes after the 71-year-old actor revealed last October "While #Liberals is shouting about the blacklist of the '50s, my friends at #Repub are terrified of losing their ability to support their families." , he once tweeted

.The star of "Casino" also revealed that he was a Democrat for years until the removal of President Bill Clinton, to which he said "Every single democrat without exception stood behind a condemned perjury. It was the end. "

In addition to two Oscar nominations, Woods has received three Emmy Awards throughout his film career over the age of 30. The veteran actor has starred in the Showtime series" Ray Donovan "and" Family " Guy "(as himself) and recently cast the role of Lex Luthor in the television show" Justice League Action. "
