When it comes to paparazzi, Alec Baldwin has a reputation for losing his cool. In 2013, the actor got into a fight with a photographer who was getting a little too near to him. The man is said to have chased Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria Baldwin, into a tea shop only days after she gave birth.
Alexander Rae Baldwin III, an American actor, writer, comedian, film producer, and political activist, was born on April 3, 1958. He is the eldest of the Baldwin family’s four acting brothers. Baldwin rose to prominence after starring in the CBS primetime soap drama Knots Landing in the sixth and seventh seasons.
Baldwin’s early films included Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice (1988), Mike Nichols’ Working Girl (1988), Jonathan Demme’s Married to the Mob (1988), and Oliver Stone’s Talk Radio (1988), in which he played both main and supporting roles (1988).
He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal in the drama The Cooler (2003). He has voiced characters in films such as The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004), Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008), Rise of the Guardians (2012), and The Boss Baby (2017).
Baldwin garnered critical recognition for his role as Jack Donaghy on the NBC comedy 30 Rock, where he co-starred with Tina Fey and won two Primetime Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and seven Screen Actors Guild Awards, making him the male performer with the most SAG Awards in history.
Baldwin earned his third Primetime Emmy in 2017 for his depiction of Donald Trump on the long-running sketch show Saturday Night Live, which aired during the latter half of the 2016 presidential election campaign and following the inauguration. In 2018 and 2021, he was nominated again.
