[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve worked on many movie sets and several things went wrong to culminate in an accident like this.  Several people f-ed up.  Alec Baldwin, as the actor, is completely blameless.  No actor can or should ever examine the firearm.

Alec’s Baldwin, a producer on this film, may well bear liability however.  [/quote]

Thank you. The actor never inspects the fire arm. That’s crazy talk.

Then an actor should never touch a firearm. [/quote]

PP, it may be that in the future there are better gun safety protocols and less gun use on set.  I hope so.

But that is a different thing than stating what the rules/protocols are currently.  If it is not the norm for actors to have anything to do with checking safety, and to rely on those that are hired to do so, then there is no culpabiltiy here for AB.  What you think SHOULD be, is very different from what actually is.[/quote]

This is a guy who wrote the script, produced and starred in the movie. Sounds like there is not much he thinks he cannot do. Many men are like that.

Exactly, why would they rely on actors to know enough about a gun to check it?  [/quote]

Why wouldn’t an actor take on the personal responsibility of knowing that he/she is handling a dangerous weapon and learn?[/quote][/quote]
