Alec Baldwin Demeaning Other People
Alec Baldwin's venomous, abusive phone call to
his 11-year-old daughter, calling her a "thoughtless little pig," is
now legendary in the world of celebrity gossip and online video, spawning
numerous posts and spoofs, from "Alec Baldwin screaming at Dora the
Explorer" to "Alec
Baldwin's Daughter Calls Back." But
those who've followed Baldwin's career shouldn't be taken aback. The
Oscar-nominated actor is famous for yelling at people. Perhaps David Mamet's
scripts are as much to blame. Below, the top 5 videos of Alec Baldwin
berating others.

1
Glengarry Glenn Ross
The mother of abusive rants, Baldwin's A.B.C.
speech ("always be closing") from David Mamet's Glengarry Glenn Ross
is a masterpiece of testosterone-filled vitriol.

2
The Cooler
As a Las Vegas casino director, Baldwin scolds
William H. Macy's fixer for not doing his job in 2003's The Cooler. |

3
Malice
As a nasty know-it-all doctor in this 1993 thriller, Baldwin doesn’t exactly scream at his co-stars, but he does it one better by claiming all-powerful dominion over them. Sample quote: "You ask me if I have a god complex; let me tell you something, I am God." |

4
30 Rock
Spoofing his notorious temper, Baldwin's corporate
mucky-muck on TV's "30 Rock" orders his minions around like he was their
abusive father: "We have drills for this!" he yells. "Handle
your problems yourself and stop bothering me!"

The Departed
Perhaps not the best clip of Baldwin's rat-tat-tat delivery of abrasive lines of dialogue (for that, just listen to the actual phone call), but the bile-spewing rancor does raise its ugly head briefly during this moment before a police sting in Martin Scorsese's The Departed. |
