Actor Alec Baldwin gives ’serious thought’ to political bid

LONDON - Alec Baldwin is considering swapping his acting career with a political one in the US, saying he is giving “a lot of serious thought” to the bid.

The 30 Rock star, in an article on his blog, said that serving voters was “a sacred trust” and that he had the “desire” to run for office.

The 51-year-old Democrat, who has two Golden Globes and an Emmy award to his credit, said that he was yet to decide on a specific political office, reports the BBC.

The actor told Playboy magazine that he would not leave his hometown for a political career, saying: “I’m a carry-me-out-in-a-box New Yorker.”(ANI)
