James Woods on ER

I am a huge poker fan and I am a huge fan of celebrity poker player James Woods. It’s been a long time since I've watched ER and I saw it last night because James was on it.

For those of you who did not see it, I have to say, you really missed out. In the show James’ character was in the advanced stages of ALS, aka Lou Gehrig`s Disease. Let me tell you, I don’t know anyone with this disease, but I feel like I do now, just learned a lot about it from watching an hour-long television show.

James was awesome in this role, he really most have done his homework because his character seemed real and made you really feel for him and his wife.

It’s rare when you get to watch something like this on television. The type of program that leaves you thinking way after you turn the channel.

From watching this I can see why James Woods is known for his poker skills. Any man that can act like that would be a deadly weapon at a poker table, I would really have no idea whether or not he was bluffing or not.

I’m sure that last night’s episode will appear on reruns over the next couple months. So if you missed and get a chance to check it out again you really should. From what I have seen of ER it seems like a fairly good show on it’s own, but night’s episode was something different.

Anyways, happy Super Bowl weekend!
