The Celebrity Truth

While most gossip blogs are commenting on how Alec Baldwin plans to quit the acting biz after his contract on tv’s 30 Rock expires in 2012, we’re more concerned that he considers his movie career to be a “complete failure”!

In a new interview with Men’s Journal, Baldwin says, “I don’t have any interest in acting anymore.  Movies are part of my past.  It’s been 30 years.  I’m not young, but I have time to do something else.”

The star of critically acclaimed movies The Departed, The Aviator, The Hunt For Red October and more seems to think his time on the silver screen is an epic fail.

“It’s a difficult thing to say, but I believe it: I consider my entire movie career a complete failure,” he explains.  “I’ll tell you why.  The goal of moviemaking is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that.”

Note to Mr. Baldwin: look yourself up on IMDB!!
