Billy on Alec
There’s a great profile of Alec Baldwin in the New Yorker this week. The most insightful comment comes from his brother Billy, who was discussing Alec’s plans to make a western starring each of his siblings:
Basically, it was: Daniel’s the outlaw; I’m the riverboat gambler who gets all the pussy, the shallow, good-looking sap; Stephen’s the village idiot; and [Alec’s] the fucking hero! He’s the one who saves the day at the end; he’s the Clint Eastwood. If you’re looking for how my brother thinks about his brothers, and how he always felt about his brothers, that’s it. That’s the movie he wanted to make with his brothers.
Check out the whole story. It’s pretty great. For the record: I’ve been a fan of Alec Baldwin ever since I saw “Beetlejuice” however many years ago. Politics be damned…that man’s a great actor.
