Is his career over?
Even if it was accidental, the murder will follow him to his grave.
shareI think people who really like him have decided he wasn't at fault. In reality, there were a lot of people responsible for bringing things to this point, but he was the last person responsible for checking the gun, and he was responsible for pulling the trigger.
Was Matthew Broderick's career over when he killed that person while driving drunk? No. People who would blame Baldwin tend to have short memories.
The most telling point about where his career stands is the fact that he was the principal actor in a self-produced movie that was so cheap people were complaining about not getting paid on time and they cut corners on everything, including safety, which one should never cut corners on.
Assistant director involved in Alec Baldwin movie set shooting accused of allowing unsafe working conditions on Hulu's Into the Dark

According to court records, Rust movie first assistant director Dave Halls handed Baldwin the gun that the actor used to accidentally shoot and kill cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Before handing Baldwin the gun, Halls yelled "cold gun" to indicate that it was safe to use. Prop maker Maggie Goll says when she worked with Halls on the Hulu anthology series Into the Dark in 2019, alleging that he allowed an unsafe work environment. The job of the first assistant director is to ensure the safety of the set. "He did not maintain a safe working environment," Goll said in a detailed statement to NBC News. "Sets were almost always allowed to become increasingly claustrophobic, no established fire lanes, exits blocked ... safety meetings were nonexistent." Halls has yet to speak out on the Rust incident.
