Actor Alec Baldwin says he will quit acting in 2012:

Evidently, he says he considers his movie career is a failure or something along those lines.
Personally, I don't think anyone who has won all the awards he has won (2 Emmy Awards, 2 Golden Globe Awards, A Oscar Nomination, etc.) could be viewed as a failure. Even if he had never won an award, his movie career is a highly respected and honored body of work, I believe from having seen many of his films, etc. And, many other gifted and talented actors who have done even more and better things than Mr. Baldwin have NEVER won any award or recognition for their careers. But that is just my opinion.
Ironically, I can also understand why he says he feels this way regarding the type of film that he mentions he never had. Every actor probably desires a film like that. But you never know, the next film may be just the one that will be it.
I also understand his desire to do other things. I'm wondering if a career in politics may be next for him????
What do you think, should he stay with acting or try a new career in politics or something else?
And, if I remember correctly, didn't he also say that he would leave the US if Pres. Bush won during the election of Pres. Bush's last term, but when Bush won, he didn't carry out that threat or suggestion? So, I wonder if he will actually quit acting or is this just more talk.
