Accordingly, Woods "is retiring from the entertainment industry and hopes to 'simplify his life' by selling 'his many real estate holdings on both coasts."

The statement from the agent said he wants to spend more time on photography, antiquing and poker. Woods owns four homes in Rhode Island.

The 70-year-old actor is also famous for his voice work on Disney's 'Hercules,' in which he voiced the villainous Hades. He later won a daytime Emmy for the role in the spin- off cartoon series.
