The Complicated Life of Hollywood Star Alec Baldwin

In 2006, he joined Tina Fey’s 30 Rock as Jack Donaghy, a powerful NBC executive with corporate confidence, strange wisdom, and perfectly polished authority. The character gave Baldwin a role that used his intensity, timing, voice, and self-serious screen presence in a completely new comic way.

Jack Donaghy became one of the defining parts of the series and one of the most important roles of Baldwin’s career. After years of film work and public turbulence, television was about to give him a major second act.
