We recently read Alec Baldwin’s autobiography “Nevertheless” and it was a fast & great read. Highly recommend it. Mr. Baldwin is not only someone who’s very complimentary of others but, based on his book Mr. Baldwin appears to be a deep thinker who’s astute in personal reflection. The Outer Limits of Inner Truth would like to interview Mr. Baldwin and hopefully help him discover aspects of his persona & soul that he’s actively seeking. We want to give Mr. Baldwin the same type of interview that Mr. Baldwin has give in his performances: memorable, unique, and original. Below are the questions we would ask Mr. Baldwin

NOTE: If Mr. Baldwin is reading this now, I (Ryan McCormick, the host) guarantee you a fair & professional interview. I’m a fellow Long Island native and love Massapequa.
