Shooting incident in lead

Should the shooting incident be still considered in lead? Especially now charges have dropped, I don't see the need for keeping it in the lead section especially as time progresses. The incident was in 2021.The One I Left (talk) 20:03, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shooting incident in Personal Life

Shouldn't the subsection on the shooting incident be under his Career section, as it's directly involved with his career? Sink Cat (talk) 05:42, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The charged will be reinstated (in November)

The investigation determined Baldwin actively pulled the trigger (and then lied that he didn't). https://www.reuters.com/world/us/prosecutors-aim-recharge-alec-baldwin-with-involuntary-manslaughter-nbc-news-2023-10-17/ 5.173.90.39 (talk) 13:50, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Replace casting change under Career section

Under "2014-Present" subsection of the "Career" section, it's stated that Baldwin starred opposite Jamie Dornan, however Dornan was swapped with Joshua Jackson at some point during development.
