EVERYONE HATES ACTORS. THIS IS WHY.

As his daughter can attest, Alec Baldwin is a jackass. He’s a really good actor but his career isn’t what it could have been because he’s such a jerkoff. Now a movie, based on the Hollywood tell-all "What Just Happened" by Art Linson (producer of Fight Club, The Untouchables, etc.) will give people an idea of what that looks like. Aint It Cool says…

The particulars: Baldwin shows up to the set of THE EDGE sporting a full beard, which he deems appropriate for his character; the studio, already cheesed at shelling out $5 million for a non-bankable "star", flips and demands that he shave; Linson, facing the possibility of replacing Baldwin with the less physically intimidating Bill Pullman (hot off of ID4 at the time), girds for war and, roughly, the following blow-up occurs.

I think I need to rewatch that.  Does he want to keep the beard?  It didn't really say.
