I really loathe Alec Baldwin. I have to admit, however, that he is a fair actor. AFAIK, he made the only movie ever made from a James Lee Burke novel; Baldwin played the role of New Iberia Deputy Sheriff Dave Robicheaux.
There was also a straight-to-DVD movie made of In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead with Tommy Lee Jones as Robicheaux.
IMHO, neither one comes close to capturing Burke, my second-favorite author after Stephen Hunter.
By the way, am currently reading Feast Day of Fools, Burke's latest. It features Hack(berry) Holland. So far, very good with the usual assortment of sociopaths and sinners seeking redemption.
