Politics

Baldwin once compared the 2000 presidential election to the September 11, 2001 attacks: “I know that’s a harsh thing to say, perhaps, but I believe that what happened in 2000 did as much damage to the pillars of democracy as terrorists did to the pillars of commerce in New York City.”^[16]

Baldwin and commentator Bill O’Reilly have been in a number of conflicts. Despite their political differences, however, Baldwin stated on his blog after an interview with O’Reilly, that he “was aggressive, but was a gentleman throughout”, and also called O’Reilly a “talented broadcaster.”^[15] Baldwin, however, also referred to O’Reilly’s employer, Fox News Channel, in the same blog post as “Roger Ailes’ Luftwaffe/Looney Bin news operation.”

Baldwin serves on the board of People for the American Way.

Baldwin’s first major role was as Billy Aldrich on the daytime soap opera The Doctors from 1980 to its cancellation in 1982. In the fall of 1983, he starred in the short lived series Cutter to Houston. He then shot to stardom co-starring on Knots Landing from 1984-86. In 1986, he made his film debut with a minor role in She’s Having a Baby. In 1988, he appeared in Beetlejuice and Working Girl. Both of these films were box office successes that raised his profile. His film career was then firmly established with his role as Jack Ryan in The Hunt for Red October (1990).

In 1991, Baldwin met his future wife Kim Basinger on the set of the critically panned The Marrying Man. He appeared opposite Basinger again in The Getaway, a 1994 remake of the 1972 Steve McQueen film of the same name.
