Alec Baldwin posted a social media video tribute to Sam Neill that drew criticism for extensive name-dropping of co-stars. The post referenced their work together on the 1990 film The Hunt for Red October.
Baldwin shared the video tribute after learning of Neill's death. He recalled filming the movie in 1989 and highlighted his role alongside mentions of director John McTiernan and author Tom Clancy.
The actor named more than 12 castmates from the film and shared memories of the experience. He also included an unrelated story about Ron Guttman before closing with condolences to Neill's family.
Social media users on Reddit labeled the tribute narcissistic and focused on Baldwin's own career. Some defended the post as normal rambling from someone of his age.
