JAMES WOODS

 
James Woods  (born April 18, 1947) is an American actor, producer and voice artist.  After his first Golden Globe nomination for a breakthrough role in The Onion Field (1979), Woods starred in Once Upon a Time in America, the Oliver Stone films Salvador and Nixon, Ghosts of Mississippi, and in the legal series Shark.  He has won three Emmy Awards – for television movies Promise and My Name Is Bill W., and for the animated series Hercules.  He has been nominated twice for an Academy Award.   (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
My own Wikipedia handle is "Shocking Blue", the name of a Dutch rock band that I have been particularly enamored with for several decades.  “That is not the name I was born with, that is my Wikipedia name.  Some day all of us will have special names," as Brian O'Blivion might have put it; he is the "television prophet" who appears in the incredible 1983 David Cronenberg horror movie Videodrome that features among its cast members James Woods and Blondie's Debbie Harry
