10 Actors You Had No Idea Were Still Making Movies

3. William Baldwin

The second-youngest of the Baldwin clan, William seemed destined to follow in the successful footsteps of big brother Alec after his career got off to a phenomenal start. His first four movies were Born on the Fourth of July, Internal Affairs, Flatliners and Backdraft, and he was even in the running to be cast as Batman before Val Kilmer ultimately got the nod.

While his career never recaptured the magic of those early years, Baldwin is still working solidly today, although you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that could name some of his most recent efforts off the top of their head. The most high-profile is undoubtedly a straight-to-video Backdraft sequel, but he did also play the fantastically-named Drake Savage in Welcome to Acapulco, as well as Russian actioner Maximum Impact alongside low-budget icon Danny Trejo.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
