Fresh off his remarkable two Emmy Award nominations last week, Alec Baldwin, a two-time Emmy winner and Tony Award and Oscar nominee who has been on top of the cultural zeitgeist with his performance as President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, has been cast as Col. Nathan Jessup in NBC‘s upcoming live A Few Good Men, from esteemed playwright and Oscar and Emmy winner Aaron Sorkin, who will executive produce and adapt his own play for the broadcast.
Baldwin and Sorkin will join Craig Zadan and Neil Meron as executive producers of A Few Good Men.
A Few Good Men marks NBC’s first live production of a Broadway drama in more than 50 years since the network began reinvigorating live programming in 2013 with the hugely popular production of The Sound of Music Live!, starring Carrie Underwood.
A Few Good Men will air in the second quarter of 2018.
