Alec Baldwin Can’t Quit
May 4th, 2007Actor Alec Baldwin, embarrassed by a ranting phone message to his daughter that surfaced on the Internet, has asked to be freed from his TV show to spend more time with family, a person close to the situation said on Wednesday.
Baldwin, 49, who stars as a venal, egocentric television executive on NBC’s popular comedy “30 Rock,” revealed his request for early release while taping a guest appearance for Friday on ABC’s daytime talk show “The View.”
His comments were not made public in advance but CNN Headline News reported them and a source close to the situation confirmed his remarks to Reuters.
