Swapping 30 Rock for classic rock, Alec Baldwin has been announced to join the star-studded cast of Rock of Ages as Dennis Dupree, the aging rocker still holding on to shreds of his former glory. Will Ferrell and Steve Carell were both offered the role, but I think Baldwin will bring a nice, understated subtle touch to the part, rather than going broad and huge like Ferrell and Carell might’ve. Baldwin joins Julianne Hough, Tom Cruise, Anne Hathaway and probably at this point tomorrow, your Aunt Millie in the Broadway adaptation directed by Adam Shankman. [ THR ]
