Early life
Baldwin was born on Long Island,
New York, the son of Carolyn Newcomb (née Martineau) and Alexander Rae Baldwin,
Jr., a high school history/social studies teacher and football coach.[1] Baldwin
was raised in a Roman Catholic family of Irish, English, and French
descent.[2][3] He has three younger brothers, Daniel, William, and Stephen, who
also became actors. Baldwin has two sisters, Beth Baldwin Keuchler (born 1955),
and Jane Baldwin Sasso (born 1965).[citation needed]
Baldwin attended Alfred G. Berner
High School in Massapequa, Long Island, and played football there under Coach
Bob Reifsnyder, who is in the College Football Hall of Fame. He worked as a
busboy at the famous New York City disco Studio 54. Baldwin attended George
Washington University from 1976 to 1979. He then transferred to New York
University to study acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute under Elaine
Aiken and Geoffrey Horne.[4] He returned to NYU in 1994 and graduated with a BFA
that year. On May 12, 2010, he again returned to New York University, this time
as a commencement speaker and to receive a Doctor of Fine Arts degree, honoris
causa.[5]
Career
Stage
Baldwin made his Broadway debut in
1988, in a revival of Joe Orton's Loot alongside theater veterans Zoë Wanamaker,
Željko Ivanek, Joseph Maher and Charles Keating. This production closed after
three months. His other Broadway credits include Caryl Churchill's Serious Money
with Kate Nelligan and a highly acclaimed revival of Tennessee Williams' A
Streetcar Named Desire. His performance as Stanley Kowalski in the latter
garnered him a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor. Baldwin also received an
Emmy nomination for the 1995 television version of the production, in which both
he and Jessica Lange reprised their roles, alongside John Goodman and Diane
Lane. In 1998, Baldwin played the title role in Macbeth at the Public theater
alongside Angela Bassett and Liev Schreiber in a production directed by George
C. Wolfe. In 2004, Baldwin starred in a revival of Twentieth Century with Anne
Heche.
On June 9, 2005, he appeared in a
concert version of the Rogers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific at Carnegie
Hall. He starred as Luther Billis, alongside Reba McEntire as Nellie and Brian
Stokes Mitchell as Emile. The production was taped and telecast by PBS on April
26, 2006. In 2006, Baldwin made theater news in Roundabout Theatre Company's
Off-Broadway revival of Joe Orton's Entertaining Mr. Sloane. In 2010, Baldwin
starred opposite Sam Underwood in a critically acclaimed revival of Peter
Shaffer's Equus, directed by Tony Walton at Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY.
Television
Baldwin's first major acting role
was as Billy Aldrich on the daytime soap opera The Doctors from 1980 to 1982. In
fall 1983, he starred in the short-lived television series Cutter to Houston. He
then co-starred in the television series Knots Landing from 1984 to 1986. In
1986, Baldwin starred in Dress Gray, a four-hour made-for-television miniseries,
as an honest cadet sergeant who tries to solve the mystery of a murdered gay
classmate.[6] The film was adapted by Gore Vidal from the novel by Lucian
Truscott.
Between 1998 and 2002, Baldwin was
the U.S. narrator for the children's show Thomas and Friends, narrating all 52
episodes of seasons 5 and 6. He portrayed Arnold Pagani in a Goosebumps episode,
"Bad Hare Day". Baldwin appeared in a celebrity edition of Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire in November 2000, competing against Jon Stewart, Charlie Sheen,
Vivica A. Fox and Norm Macdonald. He won $250,000 for PAWS, and used Kim
Basinger as one of his "phone-a-friend" partners. He voiced Blue Barron in Teen
Titans.
In 2002, Baldwin appeared on two
episodes of Friends as Phoebe Buffay's overly enthusiastic love interest,
Parker. He also portrayed a recurring character in a number of episodes in
seasons 7 and 8 of Will & Grace, in which he played Malcolm – a "top secret
agent" and the lover of Karen Walker (Megan Mullally). He also guest-starred in
the first live episode of the series. Baldwin wrote an episode of Law & Order
entitled "Tabloid", which aired in 1998. He played the role of Dr. Barrett
Moore, a retired plastic surgeon, in the series Nip/Tuck.
On July 7, 2007, Baldwin was a host
at the American leg of Live Earth, which was broadcast on NBC.[citation needed]
Baldwin stars in the NBC sitcom 30
Rock, which first aired October 2006. Baldwin met his future co-stars Tina Fey
and Tracy Morgan while appearing on Saturday Night Live. He has received two
Emmy Awards[7], two Golden Globe awards and five Screen Actors Guild Awards for
his role. Baldwin received his second Emmy nomination for Best Actor in a
Television Comedy or Musical as Jack Donaghy in 2008, marking his seventh
Primetime Emmy nomination and first win. He won again in 2009. Since season 3,
Baldwin has been credited as producer of the show.
Baldwin joined TCM’s The Essentials
Robert Osborne as co-host beginning in March 2009.[8][9]
Baldwin co-hosted the 82nd Academy
Awards with Steve Martin in 2010.[10] He has hosted Saturday Night Live sixteen
times, the most recent being the Season 37 premiere on September 24, 2011. He
currently holds the record for most times hosting Saturday Night Live, eclipsing
Steve Martin. [11]
Film
Baldwin made his film debut with a
minor role in the 1987 film Forever, Lulu. Also 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).
Baldwin met his future wife Kim
Basinger when they played lovers in the 1991 film The Marrying Man. He appeared
with Basinger again in The Getaway, a 1994 remake of the 1972 Steve McQueen film
of the same name. Next, in a brief role, 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. Later that 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.[12]
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, Baldwin continued to work in
several thrillers including The Edge, The Juror and Heaven's Prisoners.
Baldwin shifted towards character
acting, beginning with Pearl Harbor in 2001. He played Lt. Col. James Doolittle
in the film, which, with a worldwide box office of $449,220,945, remains the
highest grossing film Baldwin has appeared in his acting career.[13] 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.[4] He appeared
in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator (2004) and The Departed (2006).[4] In 2006, he
starred in the film Mini's First Time, alongside Nikki Reed and Luke Wilson.
Baldwin performed opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar in the 2007 romantic comedy,
Suburban Girl. In 2009, he co-starred in the hit romantic comedy It's
Complicated with Meryl Streep and Steve Martin. In 2001, he voiced Butch in Cats
& Dogs. In 2007, he portrayed Ken Bradley in The Last Day of Summer. In 1995, he
voiced Farley in A Goofy Movie.
Baldwin directed and starred in an
all-star version of The Devil and Daniel Webster with Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer
Love Hewitt and Dan Aykroyd in 2001.[14] 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 eventually was acquired
by The Yari Group without Baldwin's involvement.[15] In 2007, the Yari Film
Group announced it would give the film, now titled Shortcut to Happiness, a
theatrical release in the spring and cable film network Starz! announced they
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".[16]
Baldwin has also worked as voice
actor in films such as The Royal Tenenbaums, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within,
Thomas and the Magic Railroad and The Spongebob Squarepants Movie. As of March
2011 Baldwin has signed on to star alongside Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones,
Julianne Hough, and Mary J. Blige in the film adaptaion of the jukebox hit
musical Rock of Ages. Baldwin will play Dennis Dupree, the aging owner of a
Sunset Strip rock club, when production begins in May 2011.
Baldwin is also one of the
spokespersons for Capital One.[17]
Radio
On January 12, 2009, Baldwin became
the host of The New York Philharmonic This Week, the nationally broadcast radio
series of the New York Philharmonic.[18] He has recorded two nationally
distributed public service radio announcements on behalf of the Save the Manatee
Club.[19]
On October 24, 2011, WNYC public
radio released the first episode of Baldwin's new 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.[20]
Personal life
In 1990, he met his future wife,
actress Kim Basinger, when they played lovers in the film The Marrying Man. They
married in 1993 and had a daughter, Ireland, in October 1995. In January 2001,
they filed for divorce, which was finalized in February 2002.[21]
Since March 2011, Baldwin has been
dating Hilaria Thomas, one of the instructors at the YogaVida yoga studio in
Union Square.[22][23] In August 2011, he sold his home on the Upper West Side
and moved in with Thomas in SoHo. [24]
Baldwin and his family are
Catholic.[25][26]
A Promise to Ourselves
In 2008 Alec Baldwin and Mark Tabb
published their book, A Promise to Ourselves, which chronicles Baldwin's
seven-year battle to remain a part of his daughter's life.[27][28]
Baldwin contends that after their
separation in December 2000, his former wife, Kim Basinger, endeavored to deny
him access to his daughter by refusing to discuss parenting,[29] blocking
visitation,[30] not providing telephone access,[31] not following court
orders,[32] not dropping their daughter off for reasons of it being
inconvenient,[33] and directly lobbying the child.[34] He contends she spent
over $1.5 million in the effort.[35]
Baldwin called this parental
alienation syndrome.[36] 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."[37]
Baldwin wrote that he has spent
over a million dollars,[38] has had to put time aside from his career,[39] has
had to travel extensively,[40] and needed to find a house in California (he
lived in New York),[41] so he could stay in his daughter's life.[27]
Baldwin contended that after seven
years of these issues, he hit a breaking point, and left an angry voicemail
message in response to another unanswered arranged call in which Baldwin called
his daughter a "rude, thoughtless little pig". [42] 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.[43] Baldwin
admitted he made a mistake, but asked not to be judged as a parent based on a
bad moment.[44] He later admitted to Playboy in June 2009 that he contemplated
suicide over the voice mail that leaked to the public. Of the incident, he said
"I spoke to a lot of professionals, who helped me. If I committed suicide,
[ex-wife Kim Basinger's side] would have considered that a victory. Destroying
me was their avowed goal."[45]
During the autumn of 2008, Baldwin
toured in support of the book, speaking about his experiences related in
it.[46][47][48][49]
Political views
Baldwin serves on the board of
People for the American Way. He is an animal rights activist, and a strong
supporter of PETA,[50][51] for which he has done work that includes narrating
the video entitled Meet Your Meat.[52] Baldwin also 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
"Bonfire of the Manatees", an episode of The Simpsons in which he was the voice
of a biologist working to save the endangered mammals.[53]
During his appearance on the comedy
late night show Late Night with Conan O'Brien on December 12, 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."[54] Baldwin later apologized for the
remarks, and the network explained it was meant as a joke and promised not to
rerun it.[55]
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 far more qualified than
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.[56] In June 2011, The Daily reported
that Baldwin was mulling a 2013 run for Mayor of New York City, in the wake of a
potential early race shakeup after candidate Congressman Anthony Weiner's
sexting scandal.[57] However, on December 21, 2011, Baldwin said he was
abandoning plans to run for the office and would instead continue in his role on
30 Rock.[58]
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".[59]
During the 2011 Emmy Awards,
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 told Access Hollywood Live that he
asked them not to air his performance. Producers complied and he was replaced
with Leonard Nimoy.[60]
