Is there anything Alec Baldwin can't do?

The actor who recently received two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations for his SNL impressions of President Trump will be starring in NBC’s 2018 live production of A Few Good Men, Variety reports.

According to the publication, Baldwin will take on the role of Col. Nathan Jessep, the character that Jack Nicholson portrayed in the 1992 feature film — starring Tom Cruise and Demi Moore — which Aaron Sorkin adapted from his Broadway play.

“Alec Baldwin is the gift that keeps on giving at NBC, and we’re excited to have him starring in Aaron Sorkin’s towering work as we expand our live theater imprint beyond musicals," Chairman of NBC Entertainment, Robert Greenblatt, told Variety.

“Alec is one of our greatest actors. Having him play this role — live onstage for a television audience — is a dream come true. This will be a brand new take on Nathan Jessep and I expect that Alec is going to bust through TV screens and right into living rooms,” Sorkin added.

As the first actor to be cast, Baldwin will also serve as an executive producer of the live production — which will reportedly air in 2018 — along with Sorkin and others.
