I believe it was a favor that put Alec Baldwin in the Mission Impossible Rogue Nation movie. Mr. Baldwin’s character could have been played by many other fine actors who probably would have brought more depth to this role and with Tom Cruise as a leading actor it wasn’t necessary to bring the expense of the Baldwin’s name to the film. Alec Baldwin’s has been seen in less movies not because he’s not a fine actor but because of his performances off the screen have been less then desirable. Be that as it may this was not the role that fit Alec Baldwin’s skill and therefore I conclude that this role was given to him as a way to bring him back into the ‘Hollywood Fold” and to add a few dollars to his cash flow.
