Stephen Baldwin Movies
The youngest member of the Baldwin clan,
Stephen Baldwin is one of the few Hollywood actors versatile enough to boast roles in everything from
The Usual Suspects (1995) to
Bio-Dome (1996). Equally adept at comedy and drama,
Baldwin's popularity surged in the '90s and carried the increasingly busy actor into a series of low-budget action thrillers. A Massapequa, NY, native,
Baldwin gained notice in his teens as a successful opera singer and took home top prizes in numerous local competitions. Opting for a career as an actor a few short years later, the aspiring thespian refined his talents at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts before making his way to the screen in the mid-'80s.
Baldwin made his film debut in the 1987 made-for-TV feature The Prodigious Mr. Hickey, with small screen appearances in
Family Ties and China Beach soon to follow. In 1989, he took a featured role in the short-lived television Western The Young Riders. His feature career gained momentum with the adaptation of
Hubert Selby Jr.'s
Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989), and it wasn't long before he was turning up in such highbrow Hollywood fare as
Born on the Fourth of July.
After putting his Young Riders experience to good use in
Mario Van Peebles'
Posse (1993),
Baldwin turned up in the Hollywood sex comedy
Threesome (1994). It was around this time that roles in
8 Seconds and
A Simple Twist of Fate (also 1994) began to catch the attention of the movie-going public. The following year's
The Usual Suspects, however, found the rising star gaining both top billing and the best reviews of his career. Taking top billing as a criminal taken in by police for questioning following a truck hijacking,
Baldwin's kinetic and humorous performance propelled him through such comedies as
Bio-Dome (1996) and
Fled (both 1996). Taking a stab at dramatic action with
One Tough Cop (1998), the film did little to forward public perception of
Baldwin as a serious actor, although he would make a successful transition into thrillers with
Scarred City (1999) and
Mercy (2000). His roles in big-budget Hollywood fare began decreasing after that, but the youngest
Baldwin sibling was still as busy as ever with an average of four films per year. In 2002, he took to the screen for the comedy sequel
Slap Shot 2: Breaking the Ice. Outside of his film work,
Baldwin is well known for charitable contributions to such organizations as the Los Angeles AIDS Project. Married to Kennya Deodato in 1990, the couple reside in Tucson, AZ, with their children when
Baldwin is not on location.
Although
Baldwin continued to work regularly, he gained notoriety with the release of an autobiography in 2006 in which he explained his conversion to born-again Christianity, and began to campaign for different conservative politicians, often putting him at odds publically with his liberal-minded brother $Alec.
Baldwin became enough of a name that he appeared on a pair of reality programs - I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and The Celebrity Apprentice. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A handful of desperate characters come together unexpectedly one winter evening in this comedy-drama. Lefty (Stephen Baldwin) is a luckless sad sack whose life has been in a tailspin since his wife Heather (Faline England) left him two years ago. Lefty has been struggling to win back the right to visit his daughter, but since losing his job and periodically stumbling in his efforts to give up drinking, he's been so broke he can't afford to pay his rent, let alone hire a lawyer, and after a meeting with Heather's attorney goes badly, he decides he needs to get his hands on a gun. Meanwhile, Lefty's aging mother Eva (K Callan) has fallen into a depression as her health has begun to fail her, and she's decided that Christmas Eve would be as good a time as any to do herself in. Elsewhere, Mary (Mary Thornton) could use some help looking after her son Jacob (Dominic Scott Kay), after her husband Rick (Kevin Downes) suffered a severe head injury during a motorcycle accident a year before with his best friend and riding buddy, Mitch (Mitchell Jarvis). And Mark (Richard Fancy), the pastor at a local church, has been persuaded to take a group of kids out Christmas caroling -- a task he does not relish. Somehow, the fates conspire to bring the principles together with Christmas just around the corner to give them the hope that's been lacking in their lives. Midnight Clear was the first feature film from director Dallas Jenkins, adapted from a short film of the same title he made the previous year. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Santa's black-sheep brother gets a much-needed shot at redemption in this holiday comedy reuniting actor Vince Vaughn and director David Dobkin (Clay Pigeons, Wedding Crashers). It's not easy being the brother of a benevolent and beloved saint, and no one knows that better than Fred Claus (Vaughn). After struggling for years to live up to the example set by his younger sibling Nicholas (Paul Giamatti), Fred has finally given up. These days Fred is working as a repo man taken to stealing the items he repossesses, and his shady tactics have just landed him in jail. While Mrs. Claus vehemently insists that Fred fend for himself, Nicholas refuses to sit idly by as his brother rots in jail and agrees to set bail if Fred will repay the debt by coming to the North Pole and help make toys for the upcoming Christmas season. But Fred isn't nearly as productive as your average elf, and he's got quite an attitude to boot. With Christmas fast approaching and Fred threatening to sideline Nicholas' entire finely tuned operation, the brother that always struggled to get out from under his sibling's substantial shadow finds out just how far the patience of a saint can be pushed before jolly old Santa reaches his breaking point. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Tom Selleck returns to the role of small-town police chief Jesse Stone in this prequel to the CBS TV movie Stone Cold. Having been booted from the LAPD for drunkenness (brought on by his divorce), Stone heads to tiny Paradise, Massachussetts, where through the auspices of local banker Hastings Hathaway (Saul Rubinek) he is appointed chief of police. His first assignment is to investigate the murder of his predecessor Lou Carson (Mike Starr), whose death may or may not be tied in with a local domestic-abuse case involving minor mob functionary Jo Jo Genest (Stephen Baldwin). Although his new staff has a lot of trouble dealing with Stone's eccentricities--not least of which is insisting upon taking his pet dog Boomer wherever he goes--Jesse gradually wins them over. Along the way, he also tries to melt the heart of his staunchest adversary, attractive attorney Abby Taylor (Polly Shannon--all the while fending off the advances of banker Hathaway's libidinous wife Cissy (Stephanie March). Based on a novel by Robert B. Parker, Jesse Stone: Night Passage was originally telecast on January 15, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this crime thriller with a kinky undertow, police detective Max Garret (Stephen Baldwin) is a cop with a habit of doing things his own way -- so much so that he's just coming off of a six-month suspension for disregarding orders. Garret's first case after returning to active duty is looking into the death of a drug addict who jumped off the roof of a building. However, as Garret and his partner, Eddie Fulton (Charles Malik Whitfield), dig deeper into the matter, they discover links to a series of murders. The victim jumped from the roof of a loft owned by Laura Cross (Kristy Swanson), a photographer who specializes in disturbing erotic images; as Garret questions Cross, he finds himself increasingly attracted to her and he soon falls into an affair with her, but Fulton suspects her involvement in the death is hardly casual -- and unlike Garret, he has a close familiarity with her notorious past. Bound by Lies was produced and briefly distributed under the title Betrayed. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Celebrity Mole: Yucatan is the official title of The Mole's fourth season on ABC. As in the previous season's Celebrity Mole: Hawaii, a group of high-profile sports and showbiz personalities (eight players, increased from seven) compete in a variety of grueling and sometime hilarious physical and mental challenges, bearing such designations as "El Taxi Loco," "Salespeople," "Moon Over Yucatan," and "Clucks for Bucks" -- this time playing out the contest in the Yucatan Peninsula rather than the Hawaiian Isles. And as before, one of the eight players is the "mole," planted by the producers to insidiously sabotage and undermine the efforts of the other contestants, through such means as bribery, backstabbing, and downright cheating. In order to win the game, one of two finalists must determine the identity of the "mole" -- and this year every one of the celebrities fits the profile of the perpetrator. Returning from the previous season is host Ahmad Rashad, as well as contestants Stephen Baldwin and Corbin Bernsen. The newcomers include Dennis Rodman, Angie Everhart, Mark Curry, Tracey Gold, Ananda Lewis, and Keshia Knight-Pulliam. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The format of the ABC reality game show The Mole undergoes a few alterations as the series enters its third season. As indicated by season three's "official" title Celebrity Mole: Hawaii, the contestants are no longer "civilians," but instead well-known media personalities. Also, whereas in previous seasons the competition took place all over the world, this season's action is confined to the Hawaiian islands. Additionally, the number of contestants has been whittled down from ten to seven, and the physical and mental challenges have taken on a satirical edge with such designations as "Looky Looky Hot Pepper" and "It Takes a Thief" (there's also a repetition of the previous season's infamous "Tiny Bubbles Torture"). Finally, Ahmad Rashad has taken over the hosting duties from Anderson Cooper. This year, the players include actors Stephen Baldwin, Corbin Bernsen, Erik von Detten, Michael Boatman, and Kim Coles, comedienne Kathy Griffin, and supermodel Frederique. Be assured that one of these high-profile players is the "mole," planted by the producers to sabotage and undermine the efforts of the other contestants -- and to methodically squander huge chunks of the million-dollar "grand prize," leaving the winner (that is, the one who finally guesses the mole's identity) with only a fraction of the money. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

It's been 25 years and the minor league hockey team Charlestown Chiefs are still languishing in West Virginia. Player/coach Sean Linden (Stephen Baldwin) has taken the reins from Reggie Dunlop, but he's given up trying to control the "old school hockey" trio of the Hanson brothers (Jeff Carlson, Steve Carlson, and David Hanson), and their violence is the hallmark of the Chiefs -- they even attack the opposing team's costumed mascots. But a new (female) coach (Jessica Steen) is brought in once the team is bought by an exceedingly wholesome corporation run by corrupt executive Dean Claremont (Gary Busey) who intends to use the Chiefs as the hapless foils for the shiny new IceBreakers, hockey's version of the comic Harlem Globetrotters, with choreographed antics, guaranteed losses, and inept, non-violent play against a team of arrogant Ivy Leaguers. Can the Chiefs swallow their pride and actually go along with the scheme, or will their hockey instincts take over on the ice before a vast TV audience? ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

Not many stand-up comedians are openly gay, and fewer still are handicapped, but comic Greg Walloch just so happens to be both, and he's developed a growing cult following for his act, in which he pokes politically incorrect fun at his sexual preferences, his physical condition, and how society and the world around him reacts to both. F**k The Disabled (which is meant not as an epithet, but a polite request) is a documentary about Greg Walloch, in which he discusses his life and career while also sharing highlights from his nightclub act. F**k The Disabled also includes interviews with a number of Greg's admirers, including Stephen Baldwin, Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara, and Michael Musto. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
