WASHINGTON (CNN) – Emmy Award winner Alec Baldwin is eyeing a post-acting career that could take him off a Hollywood soundstage into the halls of Congress.
Baldwin, who currently stars in the NBC comedy "30 Rock," told Playboy magazine that he is seriously considering running for Congress. But he acknowledged his opponents would have plenty of fodder to use against him.
"I'll put it this way," he told the magazine. "The desire is there; that's one component. The other component is opportunity."
A native New Yorker, Baldwin said he has been approached by an unnamed Democratic law firm who wanted him to run for governor of Ohio, and he has also considered moving to New Jersey or Connecticut to run for office.

I think I was misunderstood. I was looking for the clip of Baldwin’s psychotic rant on Conan O’Brien from a decade ago when he urged Henry Hyde and his family to be murdered. I couldn’t find it on YouTube.
Alec, just because you’re too fat, drunk, and stupid to be an actor anymore (Try to picture that!), doesn’t mean anybody will vote for you.
Unfortunately, CA got to pick first...
It’s for the children. He’s so good with kids, yanno.
