Actor James Woods honors late director Rob Reiner as a 'godsend' who saved his career, crediting him with an Academy Award nomination for 'Ghosts of Mississippi.'
Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
"I was 32 years too young for the part, but he really believed that I was right and could do it. It was something that virtually nobody agreed with except one of his partners, Martin Shafer, who was the head of Castle Rock and one of the greatest production companies ever," Woods continued.
"We did ‘Ghosts of Mississippi’ together, and I went from really being basically out of a job to getting an Academy Award nomination, and I give all the credit to Rob."
