Conservative actor James Woods tweeted Wednesday night that his agent Ken Kaplan, "a political liberal," dropped him on July 4 over his political views.

Kaplan wrote in an email (that Woods tweeted): "It's the 4th of July and I'm feeling patriotic. I don’t want to represent you anymore. I mean I could go on a rant but you know what I'd say."

Woods also tweeted his response to Kaplan's email.

Actor James Woods, an ardent supporter of President Trump, tweeted Wednesday night that his agent, Ken Kaplan, dropped him on July 4 over his political views.

Woods shared the news of his dismissal with a screenshot of an email from Kaplan, whom Woods called "a political liberal" in his tweet.

Kaplan wrote in an email: "It's the 4th of July and I'm feeling patriotic. I don’t want to represent you anymore. I mean I could go on a rant but you know what I'd say."

Woods also tweeted his response to Kaplan's email.

"My response," Woods wrote. "'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, known for his roles in films like 1983's "Videodrome" and 1995's "Casino," claimed in February that he has been "blacklisted" by Hollywood for his conservative views.

Kaplan currently represents more than 30 other actors, including Winona Ryder and Kristen Stewart.

Kaplan's agency, Gersh, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
