Actor-producer Alec Baldwin faces a fresh count of involuntary manslaughter in the tragic on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the filming of Rust in October 2021. Baldwin—Rust's lead actor and co-producer—was rehearsing with a prop gun when it discharged, fatally injuring Hutchins (42) and wounding director Joel Souza. Initially charged in January 2023, the charges against him were dropped in April due to questions about the firearm's functioning.
