Alec Baldwin recently appeared on a podcast and detailed how he’s felt since he was involved in the accidental death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Hutchins was shot and killed on the set of Baldwin’s western film Rust on October 21, 2021.
Appearing on a podcast hosted by X-Files and Californication star David Duchovny, Alec Baldwin said that he believes there’s “more to come” in regards to information about the shooting and that he is going to attempt to “expose” what really happened.
Hutchins, 42 years old, was the cinematographer on Rust. While filming on October 21, she was accidentally shot and killed by a bullet from a real gun that somehow made its way on set to be used as a proper.
“I think there’s more to come. There’s more to come, but the more to come is now my effort, and it’s going to be undeniably a successful effort, to raise and to expose what really happened. I was counterpunching. I was on the defensive. I was being accused. I was being indicted,” Baldwin told Duchovny.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the set armorer whose responsibility it was to take care of the gun, did not properly check it and has since been charged with involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison. The gun was ultimately discharged by Baldwin, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
“Baldwin said that since the incident, some have stopped at nothing to shun him from the industry, a feeling he compared to ‘being dead because you roam the earth and you’re invisible.'”
“These last three years, people have just dined out. Because in this country, when people hate you on that level, they want three things. They want you to die,” he said. [via Variety]
Since the death of Hutchins and subsequent legal proceedings — the charges against Baldwin were ultimately dropped due to a Brady disclosure violation — the former 30 Rock star has appeared in just four movies, all of which were B-films: Supercell, 97 Minutes, Atrabilious, and Crescent City.
Baldwin also had a voice cameo in Todd Field’s 2022 film Tar, has a reality TV show called The Baldwins set to hit on TLC in 2025, and has recently been portraying Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Fox News host Brett Baier on Saturday Night Live.
