hollywood.com Perhaps playing all those movie bad guys and killers gave the Oscar-nominated actor some kind of subtle insight: After picking up on the group's odd demeanor and tense body language, Woods actually mentioned it to a flight attendant, who dismissed it, and reported it again to airline authorities on the ground, who didn't seem to want to pursue it.

dailynews.yahoo.com Wednesday September 19 4:21 PM ET Actor Woods reports suspicious air passengers to FBI LOS ANGELES(Reuters) - Actor James Woods, famed for bad-guy roles, is now playing a good citizen by tipping off the FBI (news - web sites) to his encounter with four suspicious airline passengers a month before last Tuesday's attacks on America. Last week, Woods told the FBI that he sat near four men who appeared to be of Middle Eastern origin acting strangely on an airline flight from Boston to Los Angeles about a month before two planes flying the same route were crashed by hijackers into the World Trade Center, his publicist said Wednesday. Woods was alone in first class with the four men and noticed during the entire cross-country flight that none of them had anything to eat or drink, nor did they read, sleep or appear to make themselves comfortable. They sat erect in their seats and stared straight ahead, saying nothing to flight attendants and speaking to each other only in inaudible tones. Woods, who was flying back to Los Angeles after visiting his mother in Boston, was so unsettled by their behavior that he mentioned it to a flight attendant and to authorities on the ground when he arrived. Last Wednesday, the day after four hijacked jetliners were crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon (news - web sites) and a field in western Pennsylvania, Woods called the FBI to report his experience. Federal agents visited him at his home the following day, on Thursday, to interview him in detail. Woods declined to publicly discuss his experience, first reported by New York Post columnist Cindy Adams and confirmed by his spokeswoman, Susan Madore. In a brief statement, the actor said, ``I think it prudent not to comment on this and let the FBI continue do their job, which they seem to be doing superbly right now.'' Woods, 54, who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (news - web sites) before pursuing an acting career, is best known for playing heavies and misfits. He received Oscar nominations for his roles in two Oliver Stone films -- a conniving journalist in 1986's ``Salvador'' and racist killer Byron De La Beckwith in 1996's ``Ghosts of Mississippi.'' More recently, he played the corrupt doctor in Stone's football film ``Any Given Sunday.'' Reuters/Variety REUTERS
