What’s Alec Baldwin like?
Alec is an actor’s actor. He looks out for the other actors on set. There’s a scene where he is showing Liz Lemon how to fire an employee and he fires Jonathan. The way that scene was originally scripted, he did it over the intercom, and you just heard me scream. Alec was like, “What if I pop open the door and we get to actually see him scream?” He brought me into the scene. He knows how to make a scene work. Unlike Jack Donaghy, Alec is a Democrat, and has made overtures about running for office. Jonathan would vote for him — would you? I’ve always admired that he’s been so outspoken politically, so I have a feeling I’d be casting my vote his way.
