Alec Baldwin's quick return to work may have moviegoers questioning his "sincerity," an industry expert told Fox News Digital. Baldwin was recently spotted on the set of "97 Minutes" for his first day back to work since the deadly shooting of Halyna Hutchins.
"The title ‘97 Minutes’ is ironic, since it seems like the amount of time that Alec Baldwin actually considered hanging up his spurs after the ‘Rust’ tragedy before jumping into his next role despite him saying he might never act again," crisis PR expert Dave Quast of Red Banyan told Fox News Digital. "Some might question his sincerity when he so quickly goes abroad to shoot a disaster movie on the heels of a real-life disaster."
"Some might question his sincerity when he so quickly goes abroad to shoot a disaster movie on the heels of a real-life disaster," he added. "If Baldwin is going to keep making movies, then he may want to hold off for a more feel-good film that would showcase a softer side."
