Alec Baldwin's latest role has him starring in a video promoting the sale of his nearly $19 million home in the Hamptons.
In the nearly two-minute video, posted by Baldwin's real estate brokerage firm Saunders & Associates on Monday, the actor, 65, reminisces about the homes he's lived in on the eastern end of Long Island.
"I've had a home out here on the east end of Long Island since 1981," he says. "When I was younger we'd come out here and we'd sleep all morning and lay on the beach all day. When you're young, this place is the best."
He goes on to recall the first house he rented for five years in Amagansett, which borders East Hampton. Then, he bought his first house "around the corner from Atlantic Avenue Beach." In 1995, he purchased the 10-acre property he's now looking to sell.
The 10,000-square-foot "modern farmhouse home," reportedly built in 1740, has five bedrooms – with plans to build two more – nine bathrooms, a pool, barn, home theater, wine-tasting room and a wood-paneled library. In a statement shared with USA TODAY Tuesday, real estate agent Scott Bradley called it "an absolutely stunning hilltop estate surrounded by acres of reserve with wide open skies and soft ocean breezes."

"I fell in love with this place the moment I came here," Baldwin says in the video. "You just can't get this out here anymore."
He adds, "I love coming here. I'm always happiest when I come here."
According to the home's Zillow listing, it was purchased in March 1996 for $1.75 million. In November 2022, the property was put on the market for $29 million, but the price has decreased a few times since. The listing dropped to $24.9 million in January 2023, then $22.5 million two months later before it was taken off the market later in the year.
Baldwin has been embroiled in controversy since 2021 when cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on the set of the film "Rust." Baldwin, the movie's lead actor and co-producer, was pointing a gun at Hutchins during rehearsal when the gun went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza.
He's pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Last year, prosecutors dropped charges against him while maintaining an "active" investigation into the case. New Mexico-based prosecutors have since sought to revive criminal charges against Baldwin, but a grand jury has yet to take up the case and decide whether there is "probable cause" to charge the actor again.
