Reiner — known for his iconic films including “A Few Good Men,” “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride” — was an outspoken critic of Trump, telling The Guardian last year that a second term for the president could turn the United States into an “autocracy.”

The actor became emotional discussing his friendship with Rob Reiner, 78, who was murdered alongside his wife Michele, 68, in their LA home.

Woods — a vocal conservative and supporter of President Donald Trump — became emotional while talking about progressive activist Reiner, whom he credits with saving his acting career.

Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for conservative powerhouse Turning Point USA, wrote on X that he “shared approximately zero in common with Rob Reiner politically, but I am so saddened by this news” and praying that “justice would be swift and without conspiracies [sic] theories.”

James Woods honors slain director Rob Reiner as "godsend" who saved his career despite their political differences, calling the late director a patriot.
