Alec Baldwin: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

3. Mr. Conductor - Thomas And The Magic Railroad

Playing the role of Mr. Conductor, the stand in honcho of Sodor Railway, is the kind of role a waiter at El Rey Theatre would probably turn down, but for reasons interviewers are more than likely too scared to ask, Baldwin took this gig and - seemingly - gave it his all, with near disastrous consequences. The film itself is forgettable kids fodder - everyone's favourite steam puffer goes buffer-to-buffer with an evil steam engine by the name of Diesel 10 - with our man Baldwin turning in a campy, lacklustre performance that could, if we're being kind, probably be blamed on his terrible outfit. Throw in an oddly off kilter Peter Fonda and Thomas And The Magic Railroad remains a big campy dud for all involved.
