Handsome Alec Baldwin: filmography. The most famous roles

American actor Alec Baldwin (Alexander Ray Baldwin) was born on April 3, 1958 in the town of Amityville, New York. As a child, little Alec ran around racing, playing baseball and regularly bringing homeless kittens home. When he grew up, he went to school. In high school I dreamed about politics, and after graduation I entered the University of Washington at the Faculty of Political Science. Student Alec Baldwin was exemplary, he studied "perfectly", and ahead of him a great political future awaited.

TV serials

However, in 1982 the fate of the future political scientist changed dramatically. Alec, as a student, needed money, and to earn money, hired an extrasist in the television project "Clinic in Texas." It was the most ordinary show, in which actors who were not known to anyone . But television series are distinguished by a number of roles of the second plan, which are performed by extras. And when the shooting began, the director immediately noticed a handsome young man who stood out against the general background of the crowd. Tall and handsome, Alec looked like the main character, he did not pay attention to the camera, kept himself naturally and confidently. The next day he was offered a role in the series - and the student Alec Baldwin, whose photo was already in the file cabinet of the channel, turned from an extras to an actor. His role was a success, and the guy began to appear on television already as a permanent actor.

New York

Experienced TV men immediately saw in him a talented artist, as if born for cinema art. Alec needed moral support, because he could not decide whether to continue studying at the Faculty of Political Science or to devote himself to the world of cinema. And he received this support: the administration of the television channel named Baldwin the most talented participant of the project, and this review was included in the press release printed in one of the central newspapers. So there was an actor Alec Baldwin, the filmography of which in a few years will compete with the lists of films of leading movie stars. Inspired by success, yesterday's student of the Faculty of Political Science left the university walls to never return. A few days later, Alec left for New York, where he entered the drama department. He managed to combine his studies with participation in the filming of television series, thus earning his living and at the same time gaining experience in acting. A talented young man with a presentable appearance willingly took television projects, and after a while Alec Baldwin, whose filmography quickly filled with new paintings with his participation, began to accept invitations to major television roles.

Debut in the cinema

Meanwhile, the aspiring actor successfully completed his studies at the faculty of drama and entered the Institute of Theater and Film Lee Strasberg. The course of study was based there on Stanislavsky's ideas, and was more in line with theatrical craft than film art, but nevertheless Alec received at the institute a good luggage of professional skills that would later help him in acting. Film debates from Baldwin took place in 1987, when he received an invitation from Amos Kollek to perform one of the roles of the second plan in the movie "Lou forever". Alec Baldwin, whose filmography contained only telefilms, was aware that his acting skills were higher than such roles, but up to 1990 he had to play secondary roles. Although the films with Alec Baldwin enjoyed great success, no matter what roles he played. And only for one 1988 the actor has played in four pictures: "Married for mafia", "She has a baby", "Beatlejus", "Working girl". Then followed a series of films in which Baldwin played lovers. Roles, at first glance, simple, but they required a deep interpretation, otherwise there was an impression of unreliability, and this factor is fatal for any film.

Main roles

Invitations to the main roles of Alec Baldwin, whose filmography was already quite extensive, began to receive after 1990. The first in his acting ability was believed by the director George Hermitage, who proposed Alecu to play in the film "Miami-blues." The plot of the picture is tense and psychological, requiring both the aggressiveness and irony of the hero. A difficult role succeeded the actor. At the same time, the picture "Hunting for the Red October" was removed - this is the story of a Soviet submarine. Baldwin played the role of analyst Jack Ryan. Alec's character combined intelligence, multiplied by the threatening training of an athlete. Both of these hypostasis, in their essence, were reflected by Baldwin in full measure.

Kim Basinger

At the same time, in 1990, Alec Baldwin, whose photo in the newspaper section of "Kinonovosti" accidentally saw the director, was invited to play the role of the rich burner of Charlie Perle's life in the film "The habit of getting married." On the set, the actor first met with actress Kim Basinger, his future wife. The next film with Baldwin in the title role was the film version of the theatrical production of "Prelude to a kiss." Then the films with Alec Baldwin went one after another: "Evil Intent", "Escape" and others. In them, Alec also played the main roles, and in the film "Escape" his partner was again Kim Basinger.

Star family

In the summer of 1993, Kim and Alek were married. The marriage took place not far from Amityville, the native city of the actor. Kim, though older than her husband for five years, looked just a happy girl. Alec, too, was shining with happiness. They settled in a cozy apartment in the quietest area of Los Angeles. Two years later the daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger - Island was born. Parents of the soul did not see in the child, the girl grew up in a star family, harmoniously developing under the supervision of a nanny and a governess.

Divorce

Actress Kim Basinger has always been in demand, she was offered only high-paying leading roles, but in connection with the birth of a child, the work in the movies had to be suspended, and this was primarily affected by her filmography. Alec Baldwin was sympathetic to the problems of his wife and supported her in every possible way. However, from the role in the movie "The Secrets of Los Angeles," which was put into production in 1997, Kim could not refuse. For her participation in the film, the actress was immediately awarded two top awards - "Oscar" and "Golden Globe." By that time, the family of Kim and Alec began to disagree, which increasingly ended in quarrels. The marriage broke up in early 2001, a divorce was filed by Kim Basinger.

Hilary Thomas

In 2011, Alec Baldwin met his second future wife, Hilary Thomas, a yoga instructor who had never been married. She was 28 years old at the time of her acquaintance. At first the lovers communicated for about two months in social networks, then began to meet. In 2012, Alec made a young woman a proposal, and she accepted it. The difference of 25 years, Hilary does not bother, nor is it Baldwin himself. The couple is happy, the young wife accompanies the spouse for all the film presentations, including the Cannes Film Festival in France. Appearance of Hilary fully meets the standards of Hollywood, and under certain conditions she could try on film, but Alec in every way discourages his beloved wife from taking a risky step.
