Dean Cain reacts to Alec Baldwin's ABC interview: 'There was negligence here'

Dean Cain provided reaction to Alec Baldwin's interview on ABC, the first time the actor spoke out publicly since the shooting on the set of 'Rust.' Cain questioned why Baldwin participated in the interview at all and said Halyna Huntchins' death was the result of negligence.

DEAN CAIN: I'm still trying to figure out why he did the interview. I think he's just trying to get ahead of the narrative here and go, 'Look, you know, here's the here's what it is' and maybe get the court of public opinion on his side. But you know, he violated – there was negligence here all the way through. Halyna Hutchins lost her life, and it was because of negligence. Now, his response or his reason why he did it – pulling back the hammer – if he's using a single action weapon and he pulls back the hammer and lets it go, that's the same as pulling the trigger. Anybody who has any knowledge of guns understands that. …

Somebody brought that live ammunition on set, and that's a problem. … Anybody who's experienced, even as Alec Baldwin is, should have opened and checked the cylinder. There should have been a safety meeting beforehand. It's standard protocol, and it wasn't followed. So there is negligence, without a doubt. The fact that he doesn't feel guilt? That's a tough one for me because if I had been in the same position, and I'd done that myself – even though it was a complete accident, and I believe it was an accident – I don't know how you don't feel some semblance of guilt. I don't understand that.
