Woods is known for starring in critically acclaimed films such as Once Upon a Time in America, Salvador, Nixon, Ghosts of Mississippi, The Last Day of Summer, Casino, and in the television legal drama Shark. He has won three Emmy Awards, and has gained two Academy Award nominations.

Woods was born in Vernal, Utah. His father, Gail Peyton Woods, was an army intelligence officer who died in 1960 following routine surgery. His mother, Martha A. (née Smith), operated a pre-school after her husband's death and later married Thomas E. Dixon. Woods grew up in Warwick, Rhode Island, where he attended Pilgrim High School.
Woods chose to pursue his undergraduate studies at MIT, where he majored in political science (though he originally planned on a career as an eye surgeon). While at MIT, Woods pledged to Theta Delta Chi Fraternity. He was also an active member of the student theatre group "Dramashop" where he both acted in and directed a number of plays. He dropped out of MIT 1969 before his graduation in order to pursue a career in acting. Woods has said that he became an actor because of the father of actor Ben Affleck, Tim Affleck, who was a stage manager at the Theatre Company of Boston while Woods was a student there.

Genres: Action,Don’t ask me how my day went
I’m beat and all my energy’s spent
Feels like the whole world wants to use me
I need to hear your voice soothe me
Softly tell me
Why don’t you
Whisper my worries away
Wrap your arms round my waist
Put your lips close to my ear
Tell me words I want to hear
Baby you know just what to say
To whisper my worries away
Work your wonders on my heart
And we’ll make the most of the dark
Cover me in kisses like fresh fallen snow
Lay with me, melt into my soul
No-one talks to my heart quite the way you do
When you wake me every morning, I love how you
Whisper my worries away
Wrap your arms round my waist
Put your lips close to my ear
Tell me words I want to hear
Baby you know just what to say
