Alec Baldwin said his shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust" has
"taken years off my life" and cost him professionally.

The "Boss Baby" star told CNN he's lost five projects in the aftermath of
Hutchins' death, with industry leaders seemingly not wanting to risk hiring
him.

"I got fired from another job yesterday," Baldwin said. "There I was all set
to go to a movie, jump on a plane ... I've been talking with these guys for
months and they told me yesterday, 'We don't want to do the film with you
because of this.'"

Baldwin, 65, also said he's feared for his life after President Donald Trump
publicly said that he believed he shot the cinematographer on purpose.
Baldwin said the stress from those fears has "taken years off my life."

[At least you're alive, un.like the woman you killed.]

"There is just this torrent of people attacking me who don't know the facts,"
he said.

Baldwin credited his family for helping him push through the tragedy but also
said he likely would've quit Hollywood had he not needed to support his wife,
Hilaria Baldwin, who is pregnant with their seventh child together.

"If I didn't have my wife, I don't know where I would be right now ... If I
didn't have her, I probably would have quit, retired, gone off, you know,
sold everything I owned, got a house in the middle of nowhere and just, you
know, did find something else to do, sell real estate," he told the outlet.

While New Mexico's Office of Medical Investigator officially ruled the
shooting was an accident, Baldwin fully blamed Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who
served as the armorer and props assistant on the film, and assistant director
Dave Halls, who handed him the gun.

"Someone put a live bullet in the gun who should have known better," Baldwin
told CNN. "That was [Gutierrez-Reed's] job. Her job was to look at the
ammunition and put in the dummy round or the blank round, and there wasn't
supposed to be any live rounds on the set.

"There are two people who didn't do what they were supposed to do," he added.
"I'm not sitting there saying I want them to, you know, go to prison, or I
want their lives to be hell. I don't want that, but I want everybody to know
that those are the two people that are responsible for what happened."

In a statement, Halls' attorney said Baldwin is attempting to shift the
blame.

"Baldwin is pointing the finger at others because the evidence is pointing at
him," said Lisa Torraco. "Halls is not responsible. Everyone needs to stop.
People are only pointing the finger at Halls because they don't want the
responsibility of being wrong. Halls is a scapegoat. People need to look at
the evidence."

Gutierrez-Reed, meanwhile, sued the movie's gun and ammunition supplier and
its founder, Seth Kenney, claiming he sold live and dummy ammunition
together, leading to Hutchins' on-set shooting death.

Kenney's attorneys responded in July, denying any allegations and asking the
court to dismiss the case, CNN reported. He did, however, admit that his
company was the sole supplier of ammunition to the "Rust" set.

"We agree with Mr. Baldwin and believe that Seth Kenney as primary ammunition
supplier commingled live rounds with blank rounds in the ammunition provided
to 'Rust,'" Gutierrez-Reed's attorney, Jason Bowles, told CNN.

"We have again asked that the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office and FBI test
the live rounds for fingerprints and DNA to confirm where the live rounds
came from. To date they have not done so on this vital question, which must
be answered to uncover the full truth of what happened."

Yeah, well you took all of Hutchins' years away, so I'm hardly feeling
weepy for you.

I'm really getting tired of his finger-pointing and whining.
