Alec Baldwin

He reminds me of my father. Ill-tempered Irish guy with a drinking problem.

Is it time to start calling him Crazy Alec Baldwin?

I honestly do not thinking punching a wall out of frustration is crazy. Lots of people do it, or do the equivalent.

Putting your fist through a wall? That depends on the kind of walls your around. Maybe it was a set wall.

The thing about Alec Baldwin is that he admits doing stuff like this. He did it in this article, and he's done it in the past. So I tend to believe his complaints about the actress as well as what she says about him.

Yeah I feel the same. He can be an asshole but he's pretty honest about what he does. And the thing about A/C that's a pretty basic request and a pretty important one. Those stage lights are not fun. Its like a furnace under them. I've known actors to pass out from the heat.

Those stage lights are not fun. Its like a furnace under them. I've known actors to pass out from the heat.

And if the lead actor is sweating like a hog, that's something the audience can notice. Alec is a bloviated jerk, but the actress sounds like a loony fussbudget as well.

Phew. I know that Alec is a total tool, but I couldn't help but think that his behavior where Entertaining Mr. Sloane is concerned is not that awful or erratic. I can see how working with him might be a chore, but it sounds like the actress was a pill as well.

I think it is telling that she classifies her line mistakes as "goofs" but characterizes Alec's blocking mistake as a malicious way to force her out of the play. It just comes across as he said/she said and I am reluctant to side with him or her.

Okay, if the AC thing IS important to the set (if it really does get THAT HOT), then I appologize-especially as I HATE the heat.

I still think he's an asshole, though.

I loathe both him and Kim Basinger. Disgusting behavior from both of them, concerning the divorce. Poor Ireland, how crappy for her to have to go through this ugly custody battle. Even worse, since she's an only child she hasn't even got a sibling stuck in the same position who'd understand.

I've never liked Alec, anyway. Back in the mid1990s, when there was a big deal about Jim Carrey getting $20 million per movie, Baldwin was quoted as saying Carrey should retire and that if he, Alec, made that kind of money, he'd "take the money and go home." The article then went on to say Baldwin was earning $7 million per picture at the time. WTF? You can't retire on seven million bucks?! Greedy bastard. I don't like Jim Carrey but I was just disgusted at Alec's "Poor me, if only I was rich too then I wouldn't have to pinch pennies, waahh" attitude.

But maybe soon he'll find out for real what it's like to pinch pennies since this divorce is probably going to take another decade to resolve and I can't even imagine how much he's gonna be spending on lawyers.

Oh, and in conclusion, I would like to add that on top of his increasingly bad attitude, Alec Baldwin has also gotten fat, bloated, and gross-looking.

Apparently he's crazy!

What a major MAJOR asshole. He should have his visitation rights taken away because his daughter has the right to not answer his phone calls. He's a freaking loose canon and she shouldn't have to deal with that.
