On stage, he portrayed Stanley Kowalski in the 1992 Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire and the title character in a 1998 Off-Broadway production of Macbeth, the former earning him a Tony Award nomination. Baldwin co-starred in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) and Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018), the fifth and sixth installments of the Mission: Impossible series.[1] He is also a columnist for The Huffington Post. He also was the host of Match Game from 2016 until 2021.

Baldwin has received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Donald Trump on the long-running sketch series Saturday Night Live, both during the latter part of the 2016 presidential election campaign and following the inauguration, a role that won him his third Primetime Emmy in 2017.[2] He was nominated again in 2018 and 2021.[3]

In 2021, while on the Rust film set, Baldwin discharged a revolver used as a prop, which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.[4] On January 31, 2023, Baldwin was criminally charged by the Santa Fe County, New Mexico, district attorney's office with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.[5][6]The charges would be dropped in April 2023.[7]

Early life

Alexander Rae Baldwin III[8] was born on April 3, 1958,[9] in Amityville, New York,[8] and raised in the Nassau Shores neighborhood[10] of nearby Massapequa,[11][12] the eldest son of Carol Newcomb (née Martineau; December 15, 1929 – May 26, 2022)[13] from Syracuse[14] and Alexander Rae Baldwin Jr. (October 26, 1927 – April 15, 1983),[15] a high school history/social studies teacher and football coach from Brooklyn.[11] He has three younger brothers, Daniel (born 1960), William (born 1963), and Stephen (born 1966), who also became actors.

In 1979, he lost the election for student body president and received a personal letter from former U.S. president Richard Nixon (with whom he had a common friend) encouraging him to use the loss as a learning experience.[22]

Afterward, he transferred to the Tisch School of the Arts of New York University (NYU) where he studied with, among others, Geoffrey Horne and Mira Rostova at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.[12] Later, he was accepted as a member of the Actors Studio.[23] In 1994, he completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at NYU.[24]

Beginning in 2010, Baldwin appeared in a television campaign for Capital One as their spokesperson.[42] Following his 2013 confrontation with a videographer reported by TMZ, his contract was not renewed,[43] and he was succeeded in the campaign by Jennifer Garner.[44][45]

On February 4, 2012, he hosted the 2011 NFL Honors awards show.[46] He later hosted the second show on February 2, 2013.[47]

In 2013 Baldwin briefly hosted Up Late with Alec Baldwin on MSNBC.[48] On November 26, 2013, the program was cancelled after only five episodes,[49] due in part to a street tirade captured on video. TMZ claimed Baldwin's insult toward the videographer was "cocksucking fag".[50][51][52] Baldwin, who denied that he used the word "fag", later cited this incident as a major turning point in his public life.[53]

In 2016 Baldwin began hosting a reboot of the game show Match Game on ABC. In 2017, he took over as sole host of TCM's The Essentials following the death of his co-host, Robert Osborne.

In August 2017, Baldwin's production company, El Dorado Pictures, signed a first-look deal with ABC Studios.[54]

Film

Baldwin in 2012

Baldwin made his film debut with a minor role in the 1987 film Forever, Lulu. In 1988, he appeared in Beetlejuice and Working Girl. He gained further recognition as a leading man with his role as Jack Ryan in The Hunt for Red October (1990). That same year, he also starred in the black comedy crime film Miami Blues alongside Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward.[59][60]

Baldwin met his future wife Kim Basinger when they played lovers in the 1991 film The Marrying Man. Next, Baldwin played a ferocious sales executive in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), a part added to the film version of David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play (including the monologue "Coffee's for closers").

Later that same year, he starred in Prelude to a Kiss with Meg Ryan, which was based on the Broadway play. The film received a lukewarm reception by critics and grossed only $22 million worldwide.[61] He appeared with Basinger again in The Getaway, a 1994 remake of the 1972 Steve McQueen film of the same name.

Also, in 1994, Baldwin made a foray into pulp fiction-based movies with the role of the title character in The Shadow. The film made $48 million. In 1996 and 1997 he starred in several more thrillers, including The Edge, The Juror, and Ghosts of Mississippi.

Baldwin shifted towards character acting, beginning with Pearl Harbor in 2001. He played Lt. Col. James Doolittle in the film. With a worldwide box office of $449,220,945, this film remains the highest-grossing film Baldwin has appeared in during his acting career.[62] Baldwin was nominated for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance in the 2003 gambling drama The Cooler.[12]

He appeared in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator (2004) and The Departed (2006).[12] In 2006, he starred in the film Mini's First Time.

Baldwin directed and starred in The Devil and Daniel Webster with Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Dan Aykroyd in 2001.[63] The then-unreleased film became an asset in a federal bank fraud trial when investor Jed Barron was convicted of bank fraud while the movie was in production. The film was eventually acquired by The Yari Group without Baldwin's involvement.[64]

In 2007, the Yari Film Group announced that it would give the film, now titled Shortcut to Happiness, a theatrical release in the spring, and cable film network Starz! announced that it had acquired pay TV rights for the film. Shortcut to Happiness was finally released in 2008. Baldwin, displeased with the way the film had been cut in post-production, demanded that his directorial credit be changed to the pseudonym "Harry Kirkpatrick".[65]

Baldwin co-starred in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, the fifth installment of the Mission: Impossible series, released on July 31, 2015, and reprised the role in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, released on July 27, 2018.[1]

On October 24, 2011, WNYC public radio released the first episode of Baldwin's podcast Here's the Thing, a series of interviews with public figures including artists, policy-makers, and performers. The first two episodes featured actor Michael Douglas and political consultant Ed Rollins.[71] Between 2011 and 2020, Baldwin completed more than 150 interviews, with guests who included musician Wynton Marsalis, filmmaker Edward Norton, comedian David Letterman, violinist Itzhak Perlman, and pianist Lang Lang, among many others.[72] Here's the Thing was developed for Baldwin by Lu Olkowski, Trey Kay, Kathy Russo, and Emily Botein.[73]

Baldwin co-authored the book A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce with Mark Tabb in 2008. His 2017 memoir Nevertheless debuted at No. 5 on The New York Times hardcover nonfiction best-seller list.[74]

Philanthropy

Baldwin, along with his mother Carol, created the Carol M. Baldwin Cancer Research Fund. This led to the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Care Center at the Stony Brook University Hospital to be named in her honor.[75][76]

During his 2010–2013 stint as a spokesperson for Capital One, Baldwin's contract was written to fund Baldwin's charity foundation. He was paid $15 million over nearly five years. After taxes and accounting fees, the remainder, $14.125 million, was given to charity.[43]

He has been nominated for the Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Tony Award and has received three Primetime Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and eight Screen Actors Guild Awards.

On May 12, 2010, Baldwin gave a commencement address at New York University and was awarded a Doctor of Fine Arts degree, honoris causa.[79]

Personal life

Marriages

Kim Basinger

Baldwin at the 2011 US Open, Opening Day

In May 1990, Baldwin met actress Kim Basinger when they played lovers in the film The Marrying Man.[82] They married on August 19, 1993, and had a daughter, Ireland (born October 23, 1995).[83][84] They separated on December 5, 2000[82] and divorced on September 3, 2002.[85]

Baldwin has called the attorneys in the case "opportunists", and has characterized Basinger's psychologists as part of the "divorce industry". He has faulted them more than Basinger and writes, "In fact, I blame my ex-wife least of all for what has transpired. She is a person, like many of us, doing the best she can with what she has. She is a litigant, and therefore, one who walks into a courtroom and is never offered anything other than what is served there. Nothing off the menu, ever."[86]

Baldwin wrote that he spent over a million dollars,[87] has had to put time aside from his career,[88] has had to travel extensively,[89] and needed to find a house in California (he lived in New York),[90] so that he could stay in his daughter's life.[91]

Baldwin contended that after seven years of these issues, he hit a breaking point and, on April 11, 2007, left an angry voicemail message in response to another unanswered arranged call, in which Baldwin called his 11-year-old daughter a "rude, thoughtless little pig".[92] He contends that the tape was sold to TMZ, which released the recording, despite laws against publishing media related to a minor without the permission of both parents.[93] Baldwin admitted that he made a mistake but asked not to be judged as a parent based on a bad moment.[94] He later admitted to Playboy in June 2009 that he contemplated suicide over the voicemail that leaked to the public. Of the incident, he said, "I spoke to a lot of professionals, who helped me. If I committed suicide, [Kim Basinger] would have considered that a victory. Destroying me was their avowed goal."[95]

In late 2008, Baldwin toured in support of his book on fatherhood and divorce, speaking about his experiences related in it.[96][97][98][99]

Hilaria Baldwin

By August 2011, Baldwin began dating Hilaria Thomas,[100] a yoga instructor with Yoga Vida in Manhattan.[101][102] Baldwin and Thomas moved from the Upper West Side to Greenwich Village that August.[103] The couple became engaged in April 2012[101] and married on June 30, 2012, at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York City.[104] They have seven children together.[105][106]

1995 photographer incident

On October 26, 1995, Baldwin allegedly assaulted a photographer for videotaping Basinger and their three-day-old daughter. The couple was returning from the hospital and was confronted by the photographer outside their Los Angeles home. Whoopi Goldberg praised Baldwin for his actions during her opening monologue while hosting the 68th Academy Awards.[107][108]

2011 plane incident

In December 2011, Baldwin was on an American Airlines flight at Los Angeles International Airport, playing Words with Friends on his phone while waiting for takeoff. When instructed to put away the "electronic device" by the flight attendant, he reportedly became belligerent and was eventually removed from the plane. He later publicly apologized to the passengers who were delayed.[109] The incident was humorously referenced in the following months in TV commercials for Capital One credit cards and Best Buy electronics stores.[110][111][112] Baldwin also spoofed the incident during a cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" segment.[113][114]

2021 shooting incident

Main article: Rust shooting incident

On October 21, 2021, Baldwin was filming on the set of the upcoming film Rust, of which he was also a producer, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, when he discharged a gun being used as a prop, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. The Hutchins family filed a wrongful death suit against Baldwin for his part in the fatal shooting.[115] On October 5, 2022, Baldwin reached an undisclosed settlement with Hutchins' family in their wrongful death lawsuit.[116]

On January 19, 2023, Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced that Baldwin would be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter by the end of the month.[117] He was charged on January 31, 2023.[5] Critics noted that the elevated second charge, a mandatory minimum of five years, might not have been applied if Baldwin were not a celebrity and if his accident had not attracted international media coverage.[118] The elevated second charge was eventually dropped after his lawyers argued that he was being incorrectly charged with a version of the law that was not passed until months after the shooting, meaning that if he is found guilty, he will face a maximum of 18 months in prison.[119] On February 23, he pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.[120]

In April 2023, Lawyers for Baldwin announced that the criminal charges against him had been dropped by prosecutors. In a statement, Baldwin's attorneys said "We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident." [7][121]

Health and dieting

Baldwin adopted a vegan diet in 2011.[122] In 2019, he authored an article for CNN supporting the EAT Lancet report and recommended a plant-based diet due to global environmental issues.[123]

Political views

Baldwin is a Democrat and endorsed Barack Obama in his two presidential campaigns.[124][125] He serves on the board of People for the American Way. He is an animal rights activist and a staunch supporter of PETA,[126] for which he has done work that includes narrating the video entitled Meet Your Meat.[127] Baldwin lent his support to the Save the Manatee Club by donating his time to record several public service announcements for the group, which had contacted him following his role in "The Bonfire of the Manatees", an episode of The Simpsons in which he was the voice of a biologist working to save the endangered mammals.[128] Baldwin also gave his support for Farm Sanctuary's Adopt A Turkey Project and stated, "At least 46 million turkeys suffer heartbreaking fear and pain before being killed each and every Thanksgiving..."[129]

During his appearance on the comedy late night show Late Night with Conan O'Brien on December 11, 1998, eight days before President Bill Clinton was to be impeached, Baldwin said, "If we were in another country ... we would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families, for what they're doing to this country."[130] Baldwin later apologized for the remarks, and the network explained that it was meant as a joke and promised not to re-run it.[131]

Baldwin said in a 2006 interview with The New York Times that if he did become involved in electoral politics, he would prefer to run for Governor of New York. When asked if he was qualified for the office, Baldwin responded that he considered himself more qualified than California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.[132] On December 21, 2011, Baldwin, addressing speculation, said he was abandoning plans to run for mayor of New York City and would instead continue in his role on 30 Rock.[133] That April, he suggested he might change his mind, saying, "Let's see what things are like in 2014. I would love to do it."[134][135]

In February 2009, Baldwin spoke out to encourage state leaders to renew New York's tax break for the film and television industry, stating that if the "tax breaks are not reinstated into the budget, film production in this town is going to collapse and television production is going to collapse and it's all going to go to California".[136]

During the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards in 2011, Baldwin was slated to appear in a taped skit. However, the producers of the show cut a portion of the skit containing a reference to Rupert Murdoch and the News International phone hacking scandal. Baldwin subsequently boycotted the Emmy Awards and requested that his entire appearance be removed from the broadcast. Producers complied and he was replaced with Leonard Nimoy.[137]
