Alec Baldwin seems to be in high demand ever since the end of unforgettable TV comedy 30 ROCK. The BEETLEJUICE star is looking at a number of high profile roles in film as well as a new TV series too. The first of these big projects is the head of the CIA in the upcoming MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5. It’s easy to imagine Baldwin in such a role, and hopefull he’ll play it like his character in THE DEPARTED. Swear words in tact.
Baldwin may also be joining Will Smith in a film focused on football concussions. The sports related film will be directed by Peter Landesman who gave us last years PARKLAND. This will be Landesman’s second film in the director’s chair.
Finally, Baldwin may also be taking on a Rob Ford type character in an NBC comedy drama. Although not playing Ford specifically, this will be the Mayor of New York rather than Toronto, the character may feature some of the wild mayor’s more controversial habits.
It’s great that Baldwin has a varied and interesting career path ahead of him, after a lot of controversial coverage covering himself.
