So I have decided that one of my favorite characters in movies is Alec Baldwin. Watching Alec Baldwin almost makes me want to rush to the closest Lowes and buy a pane glass window to shatter into a thousand pieces, blend into a milkshake and drink. He just has that badass raspy Tom Waits (also awesome) voice. I wont go so far to say that I think he is nice or whatever, but there are a few things that make him a respectable actor.
1. His complete and utter lack of shame while taking roles
If you take a look at his IMDB page it is clear that Alec Baldwin has been in every movie since Jesus walked on water (Starring William Defoe Rated R). While he has been in some defining roles which I will get to later, he also had a lobotomy done in the second grade which removed the section of your brain that gives an individual the ability to either hire a good agent or pick good roles. Granted, this post is not sarcastic and I genuinely think he is a pretty awesome guy, I think he could stand to read scripts before entering movies.
2. He plays the perfect A-Hole
If in any movie you ever stumble upon a role that happens to be a burnt out, A-Hole dad that makes a ton of money, cheats on his wife, and has a Vodka bottle surgically attached to his palms it can be expected to be played by Alec Baldwin (EX: Running with Scissors, The Aviator, The Cooler, Glen Garry Glen Ross, etc...).
3. Any movie that Alec Baldwin has NOT been in, he NARATES
The Royal Tannenbaum's along with many other roles are great examples of his voice. Alec Baldwin should go in direct competition one on one with Morgan Freeman for the most awesome voice of all time. Both of them have been the voice over in so much crap that i cant even list them all.
4. He was that guy in Beetlejuice!
Enough said
