Alec Baldwin has to be one of our favorite television personalities to this very day, even though the major television and movie roles might be behind him. He's found a recent resurgence by playing Donald J. Trump on hilarious Saturday Night Live skits and some of us might remember him as the witty Republican businessman, Jack Donaghy, on Tina Fey's 30 Rock, and others might recognize Alec from Knots Landing or Great Balls of Fire. He's played in action films like The Getaway and animated films like The Boss Baby, there's no denying that this guy has range.
There is one man on earth that Alec Baldwin is predestined to play on screen and he's the 13th President of the United States of America in Millard Fillmore, who was the last president of the Whig Party in the White House. Fillmore definitely had his hands full during a sensitive time in American history and of course, he participated in d***head behavior while also doing some right as well. Alec should definitely hit his agent about developing a story around his doppelganger.
