Actor James Woods, who has often supported US President Donald Trump, says his agent has dropped him for his political views.
The 71-year-old actor took to Twitter and shared a screenshot of brief e-mail message he received from agent Ken Kaplan.
"It's the 4th of July and I'm feeling patriotic. I don't want to represent you anymore. I mean I can go on a rant but you know what I'd say," Kaplan, who works for Gersh Agency, wrote in the mail.
In another tweet, Woods shared his response to Kaplan: "My response: 'Dear Ken, I don't actually. I was thinking if you're feeling patriotic, you would appreciate free speech and one's right to think as an individual. Be that as it may, I want to thank you for all your hard work and devotion on my behalf. Be well'."
Woods, whose acting credits include "Salvador" and "Ghosts of Mississippi", is an outspoken conservative and is known to have voted for Trump.
He has often complained about being blacklisted by Hollywood because of his views.
