A Little Green Room Chatter - Baldwin

Damn it, I always forget my camera. Always. So no pic with Alec Baldwin, not even a pic with Stephen Baldwin. But I have a good story, and it'll explain this picture.

Alec was a very nice guy. He was the kind of celebrity that asks you a ton of questions. Maybe to deflect you from peppering him with them or maybe he really is interested in my job, where I'm from and what kind of high school student I was - who's to say?

Around the office it's not uncommon to end a meeting by saying "Mazel, Good Things" in the voice of Baldwins character Stan Indursky from Along Came Polly (a pretty forgettable Ben Stiller flick, but Baldwin's role is worth a Net Flix rental).

Just before everyone left the green room to go on stage, I gave an opening to Mike Carlucci from my team to do his impression in front of Baldwin. In turn Alec told us that the character is based on his entertainment lawyer and gave us about 2 minutes of top notch Indursky....
