Alec Baldwin in talks to play Rob Ford-like mayor

[Little Star]

Alec Baldwin is in talks to play a new leading man character in a drama series with NBC Productions — a Rob Ford-like mayor who fights personal demons and addictions while serving as the lead executive of New York City.

Deadline Hollywood first reported the development and said the show is a near take-off of Mr. Ford’s high-profile and scandalous mayoral service in Toronto, which most recently saw him emerge from rehab for reported alcohol abuse. Mr. Ford’s also made worldwide headlines for crack use and his most recent quote, as reported in Mashable: “[I’ve used] every drug you can probably think of.”

I hope this is a go. Sorry Toronto but I like to be entertained.

1. A great vehicle for Alec Baldwin

This would give him a chance to comment on celebrity, politics and perpetual intrusion by the press (paparazzi).

And social media.

I would watch this show.
