BALDWIN: 'I'M TOO OLD FOR MOVIE LEADING ROLES'

Oscar nominee ALEC BALDWIN fears he is washed up in Hollywood at 49 - because there are too many actors competing for too few roles. The Departed star has turned his back on starring roles in the movie business to concentrate on TV comedy show 30 Rock, because he worries he's getting too old for the big screen. Baldwin says, "The industry now is largely about young people. If you look at the number of films that star people over 40, there seem to be a lot less of them now. "So the issue is competing to get good roles. Dustin Hoffman said something great to me once: 'We're all in line. Some of us are just in a shorter line.'"
