Okay. Since nobody else bit on this, I'll stick my nose in. James Woods
other appearance was none other than Lloyd Hopkins himself in the film,
COP. Unfortunately, I can't remember which book was adapted. Do remember
that it was a decent "little" picture, though purists may quibble about
his portrayal of Hopkins. As I recall, Hopkins wasn't a very nice guy,
and neither is Woods in this picture.
