Billy Baldwin is dictating the following to me, while he prints a script here at EW headquarters:
"Sundance. Well. Let’s start with, obviously, I’m the darling of the festival. One film at Slamdance, one film at Sundance. What can I tell ya. [Long pause.] I don’t know what bothers me more about Sundance: all of the free s— that they give to the rich and famous who don’t need it, or the way that I behave when thrown into the den of swag. I can sit here and pretend that I’m above it all, but in reality, after being given free iPods and Razr telephones, jewelry and vacations, if my grandmother — may she rest in peace — stood between me and the last Philips flat screen television, I’d lay her out right on her ass for that bad boy.
"I hired a publicist to come here with me because I had two films in the festival. I figured because I had two pictures I probably would need somebody to wrangle all of the various media outlets — print, electronic, etc. She wound up becoming my swag mule, schlepping the hoards up and down Main Street so that I didn’t look like the gluttonous whore that I am in front of the throngs of media and paparazzi. Sure, I threw her a bone for her troubles — tossed her a couple of t-shirts, a hat, and a digital picture frame. I’ve got a heart. And in the final analysis, those thousands that I shelled out for this publicist turned out to be a windfall because not only did she organize my press schedule, but she also sheltered me from embarrassment and humiliation in front of the cameras by doubling as my swag mule.
"Look for American Fork and Adrift in Manhattan at a theater near you."
See? Told you I’d get Billy Baldwin.

Billy who???
That is hysterical!! Similar persona to his brother’s character on 30 Rock …
Ha ha…that was good.
I realize he’s trying to be funny, but what if he’s not. What if he really is that much of a jerk. I’ve never known Billy Baldwin for his acting chops.
A Baldwin (who isn’t Stephen) just made me love him. I think I’m in shock.
Remember that show on TV in the early 90′s…like Young Guns, with Stephen Baldwin…he was so cute. All the baldwins lost it at the same time…except for Alex.
I appreciate the honesty of his comments. I don’t understand why some people (I’m looking at YOU, Edward Norton) jump on a high horse about swag. If you don’t want it, don’t take it and (most importantly) shut up about it!
Man, today is like Baldwin day. I just read about Alec being open to trying online dating and read the first chapter from Stephen’s holy roller book and posted about it on JDatersAnonymous.com.
