a tale of two brothers



Alec Baldwin is one of the Baldwin brothers who has achieved much success in TV and movies, such as Third Rock, Will & Grace, Glenngarry Glenn Ross, The Hunt for Red October, Knott's Landing, etc. (For full filmography, go here... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000285/ )

Known for having a temper, this week audio was released of a voice mail message he left for his 11 year old daughter. He is angry, out-of-control, vicious, demeaning, intimidating, with lots of vulgarity and profanity. (If you dare to listen go here... http://www.savage-productions.com/Baldwin_voicemail.html WARNING: If you are tender regarding child abuse issues this will probably ruin your day. Or ought to.)


On the other hand we have Alec's brother, Stephen Baldwin. Stephen has also been in numerous films (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000286/). Because of a Brazilian housekeeper he converted to Christ after 9/11. Since then he...
  • Directed and produced Livin' It and Livin' It LA, films that focus on Christian athletes involved in extreme sports and evangelism.
  • Is currently working with the Luis Palau evangelistic ministry, launching his own Breakthrough Ministry
  • Wrote a book, Unusual Suspect, detailing his conversion. It made it onto the New York Times bestseller list.
  • In contrast to his brothers Alec and William, who are noted Democrats and avid Bush opponents, Stephen is a Bush supporter.
  • In 2006, he launched a campaign to prevent an adult bookstore from opening on the outskirts of his village, Nyack, NY. After mobilizing much of the county's religious base to the cause, Baldwin lent his support to a petition filed in New York Supreme Court by a group calling itself the Catholic Citizenship, and succeeded in quashing the store.
  • He is actively and boldly telling his story, and spreading the gospel to the Hollywood crowd, and many varieties of media outlets.

Does anyone know what happened on the 20th?

i don't know. This came out and was widely publicized before the 20th and Alec had already issues an "apology" of sorts.

Stephen is touching many lives through his testimony and his ministry. I'm praying, with him, for the salvation of his brothers/family.
