How much does anyone wanna bet this gets blamed on the prop director, and not Baldwin.




Well, Baldwin is a producer, so that may make dodging charges more difficult for him. But, the prop director is probably more exposed than the actor for mishap with the prop.

At this point, we don't really have enough facts to draw any sort of firm conclusions.

This could be a prop malfunction. This could have been a safety violation by Baldwin and/or the people who got killed/injured. There could be something else going on. I know it is high profile, but best to reserve judgment until more facts are developed.

Hope he wasn't screwing around and playing like the yahoo he mocks gun owners for being, because he literally has no clue ( or respect ) for firearms.


And I don't know how this couldn't be the case. He shot the director and cinematographer. Doubt they were standing in for the targets in a rehearsal.

Jon-Erik Hexum

On October 12, 1984, the cast and crew of Cover Up were filming the seventh episode of the series, "Golden Opportunity," on Stage 17 of the 20th Century Fox lot. One of the scenes filmed that day called for Hexum's character to load bullets into a .44 Magnum handgun, so he was provided with a functional gun and blanks. When the scene did not play as the director wanted it to in the master shot, there was a delay in filming. Hexum became restless and impatient during the delay and began playing around to lighten the mood. He had unloaded all but one (blank) round, spun it, and—simulating Russian roulette—he put the revolver to his right temple and pulled the trigger,[6] apparently unaware of the danger.

Same thing happened to Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow.

With the advancements in digital technology, I would love to see The Hunt for Red October fixed with every other actor kept intact and replace Alec cocksucking baldwin in each of his scenes

He is a member of the entertainment Ruling Class . He could kill ten people and he’d be lionized in our culture.

So, Alec Baldwin killed somebody today. [i]Literally fired the gun, and a woman is dead.[/img]

Literally is a useless word and way overused nowadays. Just saying.

Unlikely unless more facts suggestive of this being a crime versus a filming accident come out.



People are charged for accidents all the time.

Which leads me to believe it may have been pointed at the camera. Scripted or not could play a huge part.

I don't know about the prop director thing. Why is Baldwin pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger?
