Back when Alec Baldwin was still and actor and not a self-proclaimed star

[–] Porsche911 (3598) a year ago

It was his ticket into the big leagues. He more or less stayed relevant for another 30 years!
However he was always a paycheck actor. Nothing more.

I agree, he was good.
Imho Sean was better. More senior, more experienced and it shows. Great film btw. Saw it again this summer for the first time in 20 years.

That's bullshit

He was okay. I prefer Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan. And Sean Connery stole the show from him in this.

Nah, the role of Jack Ryan required a sharp office rat, which Baldwin was. Harrison Ford is an adventurer.

Whatever. I've always preferred Patriot Games.

I used to to think Baldwin was a douche canoe. No longer.

The last movie I saw, where he was still acting was----

"The Edge"

After that he became a self proclaimed "Star" and stopped acting

[–] strntz (12254) a year ago

I think he's a victim of The Chevy Chase Disease.

Man, he was good in The Edge. Really enjoyed his freakout in that movie. I still remember part of that after all these years... "...but get you in a situation... and you BLOOM! You make me sick!"

[–] Foster (878) a year ago

"Mind the Edge!"

The murderer?

Also, it was back before he was fat.
