"Success begets success. I've been offered a lot of movies now that '30 Rock' has been successful."
~ Alec Baldwin
A famous actor of the mighty Baldwin clan -- Alec Baldwin is known for his roles in movies such as Blue Jasmine, The Aviator, The Departed, two Mission: Impossible movies, etc. He is also known for his portrayal of Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live.
Alec Baldwin's height is something of a topic because, we guess that he is one of those normal-sized men who come from a "tall" family, and has been fortunate enough to be shorter than his daughter -- in physical stature.
Mr. Baldwin's daughter -- Ireland Baldwin is six feet tall -- which makes her a very tall woman. This generates some interest in even old Alec's height.
We surmise that Alec would have been close to the 6-feet mark himself in his prime. But now in his 60s, he definitely looks a bit shorter.
Some people lose height in their 60s and some just don't do it even in their 70s -- that's just the way of life, and Alec seems to belong to the first category of people. Or perhaps it's just Alec's poor posture that makes him look a bit shorter now.
After taking a careful look at Alec Baldwin and comparing his height to that of some interesting people like Tom Cruise (5'8"), Leonardo DiCaprio (5'11"), Ireland Baldwin (6"), and some others, we think Mr. Baldwin would be lucky to touch the 5'11" mark nowadays.
The height of Alec Baldwin is
5'11" or 180 cm
Height in his prime was 5'11½"

"There's three things: there's masculinity, there's intelligence, there's sensitivity. You've got to bring those three things to a leading man's role: masculinity, sensitivity, intelligence. In some people, there's a little too much in the mix of one or the other."
