Daniel Baldwin - Marlboro cowboy in the fight against vampires

On October 5, a boy named Daniel Baldwin was born in a large family (which will be the order of the time and, probably, the parents). It happened in the small town of Massapeka, in the state of New York. Mom and Dad were convinced Catholics and zealously engaged in public work, that is, they were 100% citizens of their country. Daniel has five brothers and sisters, it's easy to get to know celebrities - Alec Baldwin, Stephen Baldwin, William Baldwin. Our hero is the third oldest among the children of a large family (older than his brother and sister).

Personal - wives, children ... drugs

Popularity is not always in the teeth of people who have achieved it. Unfortunately, Daniel Baldwin, whose biography is described in this article, did not avoid scandal. In 1998, the actor was in the dock in connection with the addiction to cocaine and almost was not deprived of all the benefits that gave him life. The judges took orders from him not to approach the drugs, otherwise he would be imprisoned. Daniel as the son of respectable citizens agreed and changed the violent lifestyle to the approximate one.

Officially, he was married three times. With his first wife, Cheryl, he lived one year (they were married in 1984), they have a daughter Kylie. In 1990, he married again and lived with Elizabeth Baldwin for six years. From this marriage, the daughter of Alexandria was also born. In 1995, he met with the actress Isabella Hoffman, from this connection the son of Atticus was born, and they lived in a civil marriage for 10 years. But 2007 reassured the rebellious actor's soul. He married Joanne Smith-Baldwin, and today they live happily and raise their daughters Evis and Finley.

Mama

But with the actor's mother, there was a disaster - most likely due to strong feelings about children, she received breast cancer. In 1996, she founded the organization The Carol M. Baldwin Research and sponsored basic breast cancer research.

Youth - sport and study, about cinema - not a word!

No wonder that in a family where half of the children received an acting profession, Daniel Baldwin went through life in this fairway. In 1979, Daniel graduated from the Alfred Werner High School. And he studied well, and was obsessed with playing football - a talented guy was often selected to compete for the honor of an educational institution. On the actor and directing the young man somehow did not think much, however, in 1988 he hosted his film debut (a small role in the TV movie "Too good for the truth"). Perhaps the laurels of his elder brother did not give rest, or maybe just decided - and why not? And according to conscience, in the movie he started quite successfully - he acted as an actor in more than 100 films. The first years of his film career did not bring him any fame or wealth - his role remained unnoticed.

Career - in the shadow of the glory of the brothers?

And then came 1991. Mastodons "Metro Golduyn Meyer", penetrating the essence of the audience requests of the current time, invited the popular director Simon Winser. According to the idea of the management of the film company, he had to remove the "action" with elements of comedy. At the same time, the budget was stretched to an incredible size. Thus, Harley Davidson and Marlborough Cowboy appeared, where such well-known actors as Mickey Rourke, Don Johnson and our hero Daniel Baldwin appeared. In America, the film failed at the box office, but after the release of the video acquired a cult status among bikers and eventually gained world popularity. About Daniel wicked that, they say, only because of his star brothers Alec and Stephen, he and "leaves", but no talent ...

But wait, you crooks! The starry hour of our hero did not fail to come! From 1993 to 1995 there was a series "Slaughter Division", and his character Bo Felton, who was brilliantly and brilliantly played by Daniel, became a visiting card of the actor and a ticket to a real big movie. And the truth is, they say - in order to gain glory and rest high on our laurels, one must comprehend bitterness and visit the bottom.

In 1994, Daniel starred in the film "The Queen's Go", critics praised his work (here he also plays a representative of the law). In 1996, the actor also noted - the films "Perverted Passion", "Rock Mulchland" and "Yesterday's Target" gave him small roles.

But after the cult film "Vampires" in 1998, Daniel Baldwin rose to the peak of his fame. This year in general stood out for the actor very rich - in addition to the "Vampires" were such projects as "Patrol car 54", "At the border," "Mission in Space." That's when the problem with drugs arose (but, thank God, I decided).

Then there were roles, scenarios in which Daniel Baldwin worked actively. His filmography turned out to be quite rich - he was pleased to take part in interesting film projects for him, and successful films in his career are more than failures. Most of all he was remembered by the spectator as an actor not of the first plan - well, everyone has his own role!

Script writer, director

In 2001, he made his debut as a filmmaker - he shot the film "Fall", in 2014 Daniel took (and simultaneously wrote the script) the film "The Wisdom to Know the Difference". This general favorite Daniel Baldwin - photo very truthfully demonstrates his popularity and fame - also took place as a producer. In 2002, he released the film "On the Plank", in 2008 - "Dark Reality". Nevertheless, despite his fruitful work in the field of film business, Daniel could not surpass the popularity of his brothers Alec and Stephen. But it already remains on the conscience of his admirers.
