Alec Baldwin On Dream Stage Role In GUYS & DOLLS, Elaine Stritch & More In New Reddit Q&A

Alec Baldwin reveals all in a new interview!

Popular stage and screen star Alec Baldwin discusses his desire to star in a production of Frank Loesser's classic Golden Age musical GUYS & DOLLS as well as recounts his favorite 30 ROCK moments shared with Elaine Stritch and more as part of a new Reddit Q&A.

When asked to choose an onstage role he is dying to do, Baldwin replied, "If I could choose any onstage role? God, I would probably... well, sing, I can't sing. I wish I could sing. And I would sing some huge lead in a Broadway musical, like GUYS & DOLLS or something. That would be my dream."

Additionally, when requested to name his favorite 30 ROCK episode, Baldwin recounted, "Well... I don't think I could pick one, but among the many that I liked, I liked when Tina and I got married inadvertently because the French yacht captain married us by mistake, and I could never quite understand what he was saying. I thought that was funny. And probably anything with Elaine Stritch, who played my mom."

Elaborating, Balwin reveals of Stritch, "Elaine is - was - a really amazingly talented woman. And everybody knows, she was this blazingly talented woman. And she was also a really crotchety, and really difficult person to deal with. And she knew that. That was her persona. She built her career around that persona. That she was really really tough to work with. She could really wear you out. And I got along with her because I gave it right back to her. She liked people who would fight back."

Plus, Baldwin said of his success on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, "I think if you come on the show, and you demonstrate to them that you want to - you've thought about them, you want to be another member of the cast - and get along with everyone and try to do a funny show, they're very keen on having you come back. Which is what I try to do. I just try to make it like I'm one of them."
