Alec Baldwin Shooting

[The Grand Nudger]

It's not as an actor that this poses any legal risk to him.  

As a producer, it may be argued that it's incumbent upon him to hire people who are...and, people who can be responsible for props - especially dangerous ones...like guns....  

If I had to guess, he was a producer in that he signed a check, and that would be his inevitable (civil) defense.  He'll be able to show that he didn't personally select the team, and didn't personally select them for cutting costs even if he did sign off - and probably argue that he believed they weren't doing a great job for his money.  That he, at least as far as the law is concerned, is also a victim in all of this.

If he needs to, ofc, if it escalates that far - full on dirtbag lawyer mode.

This. Exactly this.

The producer is effectively the CEO of a movie. Ultimate responsibility rests there. It's not him pulling the trigger that is the problem.

The trouble, for you and for society, is that no one actually believes this - you certainly don't.  You probably don't believe, for example, that the ceos of some company are legally responsible for the use of their products even when they aggressively market that use specifically. Say.... in the case of shooting a man with a product marketed explicitly to the fantasy of shooting a man - which isn't what alec baldwin did but certainly does accurately describe most (purportedly) accidental shootings.

For what it's worth, neither do I at the end of the day.  Somebody want to hold the ceo of winchester accountable for gun death, I say pound sand - so do you, so does society, and so too will this be incorporated in his defense...if he even needs one, which I'm guessing he won't (at least not criminally. though it'll be part of his civil case too, when minimizing the risk of financial damages).
