Baldwin came closer to Christ and became a born-again Christian after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Since that time he has been a strong supporter and advocate of his faith going to conventions all over the country while spreading the word of Jesus Christ.
"I'm getting ready to direct two or three movies next year that are faith-based films. I'm kind of full-blown faith-based right now and that's just where I'm at in my walk of Christianity," Baldwin told reporter Amy Robach.
"But isn't it weird, that as a Christian, I had a casting director come up to me two years ago and say, 'I'm really sorry because I've brought your name up in castings for a while now and they all just look at me like I'm crazy,'" he added.
Robach then pushed forward with her questions asking "is it possible to be successful in Hollywood and be an outspoken Christian?"
To which Baldwin replied: "Sure doesn't seem like it now does it?"
Religion in Hollywood has seen some interesting developments as of late. When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made their divorce public, several rumours began to spread suggesting that Cruise's highly controversial participation in the cult of Scientology was the reason for the split.
And more recently Angus T. Jones, star of "Two and a Half Men," made headlines after publicly calling the show "filth" following a spiritual revival with the Seventh Day Adventists.
