James Woods : Actor and Celebrity Poker Player

When it comes to online poker, James Woods is the Man these days. With the release of Hollywood Poker, the best online poker site on the web if you ask me, he and his partner Vince Van Patten have changed the way poker is played online. Which only makes sense: James Woods is good at everything he sets his mind to. He hasn't even been playing poker all that long, but because he loves it so much and has dedicated so much time and effort to it he's already playing in World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker events.

One thing that can't outshine his poker playing skills is obviously still his acting skills though. After an accident that damaged his hnd when he was younger he had to give up on his dream of becoming a surgeon and more or less fell into acting while attending MIT on a scholarship. And it seems to have paid off: so far he has won, among others, 3 Emmys, a Golden Globe (and 10 nominations for Golden Globes), an Obie and two Oscars nominations for his timeless and unforgettable roles in films like "Once Upon a Time in America," "The Onion Field," and "Ghosts of Mississippi."
