        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a TV hit.</p><p>Actor Frank Whaley has accused Hollywood legend Jon Voight of slapping him while they worked on the crime drama &#8220;Ray Donovan&#8221; together. The allegations come after the 81-year-old Oscar winner and father of actress Angelina Jolie lent his voice to the <strong>Republican National Convention</strong> on Monday.</p><p>&#8220;F - - k Jon Voight,&#8221; Whaley, 57, tweeted Monday <a href="https://twitter.com/TheFrankWhaley/status/1298082085987667969" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in a heated Twitter tirade</a> that garnered more than 69,000 likes as of Tuesday morning. &#8220;On &#8216;Ray Donovan&#8217; he slapped me across the face in the middle of a scene because he couldn’t keep up, then denied doing it.&#8221;</p><p>The &#8220;Swimming with Sharks&#8221; star added that Voight &#8220;forgot about the still photographer who was on set&#8221; and even included a pic of the &#8220;Anaconda&#8221; actor allegedly smacking Whaley across the face on set of the hit Showtime series.</p><p>On the <strong>now-canceled show</strong>, Voight portrays the menacing family patriarch Mickey Donovan, who — spoiler alert — memorably murders Whaley&#8217;s nosey FBI agent Van Miller during Season 1.</p><figure id="attachment_16186524"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/jon-voight-99.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/jon-voight-99.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/jon-voight-99.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span class="credit">Twitter</span></figcaption></figure><p>&#8220;Bottom line: Jon Voight is a major dick,&#8221; wrote Whaley. He added the hashtag &#8220;#RNCConvention2020,&#8221; referencing the staunch Trump supporter&#8217;s intro to the Republican National Convention. During Voight&#8217;s laudatory narration, the &#8220;Midnight Cowboy&#8221; actor <strong>described the president</strong> as &#8220;a man who cares, a man who loves America and all Americans.&#8221;</p><p>Needless to say, Whaley&#8217;s allegations drew mixed reactions on Twitter.</p><p>&#8220;Somebody slapped someone during the filming of a scene?&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/iheartmindy/status/1298181135835344897" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">snarked conservative pundit Mindy Robinson</a>. &#8220;Get out of here, no one’s ever seen that on TV ever.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Lois &amp; Clark: The New Adventures of Superman&#8221; star Dean Cain even suggested that Whaley was asking for it. &#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">He slapped you — that&#8217;s quite clear,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/RealDeanCain/status/1298108033692610561" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">he wrote.</a> &#8220;The reason he slapped you remains a mystery . . . </span>although I have an idea.&#8221;</p><p>However, others rallied to Whaley&#8217;s defense. &#8220;You should&#8217;ve absolutely stomped that old man&#8217;s genitals into dust for that, sir,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/TheRochaSays/status/1298123423390998528" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted &#8220;The Outlaw Nation&#8221; host John Rocha</a>. &#8220;No one has the right to do that to ya over a scene in a TV show of all things. We need to call out all these fools parading around on sets abusing actors, production staff and others.&#8221;</p><p>Reps for Voight did not immediately respond to The Post&#8217;s request for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
