Outspoken actor and New Englander James Woods stars in the new CBS legal drama, Shark. Woods plays a verbose Los Angeles defense lawyer who flips and becomes a prosecutor. Shark is directed by Spike Lee. The Mayor of Television, blogger David Kronke, asked Woods about his abandoning of film for a career in TV:
Woods said: “I look at movies and they’re all so f***ing terrible. People ask, ‘Why aren’t movies more successful?’
"It’s really a simple answer: It’s because they stink. Three simple words: Because they f***ing stink. That’s four words, but you can’t write the f***ing word.
"They stink, they stink, they stink, what’s wrong with you? They stink. Do better movies. … Finally, I saw a good movie, ‘The Departed.”
And look what it took: It took Marty Scorsese, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, (screenwriter) Bill Monahan – and it’s based on another movie.”
