Alec Baldwin looked tired as he stepped out with his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, for a casual dinner in the Hamptons on Thursday.
The 30 Rock alum, 66, who was recently hailed as “the nicest actor” by the mother of two child actors in the film Rust, stopped by Nick & Toni’s restaurant alongside Hilaria, 40, for a tasty meal.
Her latest appearance comes nearly two weeks after her trial for the Rust shooting came to an abrupt end, leaving the star in tears as she heard the judge’s decision to dismiss the case in a Santa Fe courtroom.
Alec wore a light grey plaid shirt, buttoned up at the front, as well as a pair of dark grey trousers during the evening outing.
Additionally, he was wearing a pair of brown loafers and comfortably carrying his wallet in his right hand.

The mother of seven also looked casually chic in a pair of baggy jeans and a long-sleeved black cardigan.
The flared hem of her pants hid the shoes she decided to wear to dinner in the Hamptons and allowed her brunette locks to fall naturally past her shoulders.
Hilaria, who married the Beetlejuice actor in 2012, opted for minimal accessories and added a pair of mini rhinestone earrings and some statement rings to complete her look.
She was seen smiling as she held her husband’s hand as they strolled together outdoors.
Baldwin’s exit comes nearly two weeks after his trial over the Rust shooting was dismissed, prompting an emotional backlash from the star and his wife.
More recently, one of the jurors in the case, which was dismissed on July 12, said: People An article published on Tuesday said that “the case appeared to be mishandled from the start.”
New Mexico resident Martina Marquez said the fatal shooting, which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza, was “an unfortunate accident.”
‘I found the indictment a bit harsh. Based on the videos from the lapel camera, it didn’t make sense that they could point directly at him as a whole.’

Marquez also recalled seeing body camera footage during the trial that showed a variety of people on the set shortly after the shooting occurred.
Lt. Timoteo Benavidez was also seen searching for the prop gun in the footage and eventually received the item from gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was notably sentenced to 18 months in prison for manslaughter.
“It didn’t make sense. We all watch TV and movies. We’re not supposed to touch evidence or move it around,” Martina said.
“That made me question the situation because it could have been in the hands of many people at the time the lieutenant finally confiscated it.”
“I felt like she was responsible for what happened,” Marquez said of Gutierrez-Reed.
Regarding the charges against Alec and the case, the juror told People that “it wasn’t necessary to go that far. And it seemed pointless.”
The widower of the late cinematographer, Matthew Hutchins, issued a statement after the judge’s decision, saying he “respects the court’s decision.”
However, he added: “We look forward to presenting all the evidence to a jury and holding Mr. Baldwin accountable for his actions in Halyna’s senseless death.”
More recently, one of the jurors in the case, which was dismissed on July 12, told People in an article published Tuesday that “the case seemed mishandled from the beginning” — seen earlier this month in Santa Fe.
“I found the indictment a little harsh. From the lapel camera videos, it didn’t make sense that they could point directly at him in general,” Marquez added. Rust seen in October 2021
Baldwin also plans to sue a New Mexico state prosecutor and sheriff after it emerged they withheld evidence from his defense team during their failed attempt to prosecute him for the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.
Manslaughter charges against Baldwin were dismissed after a New Mexico judge agreed that prosecutor Kari Morrissey and Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza withheld evidence about the source of the live ammunition that killed Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
The evidence came from a man who dropped it off at the sheriff’s office in March, more than two years after the shooting, who said it might be relevant.
But investigators believed it was unrelated and unimportant and did not disclose it to Baldwin’s defense team.
Baldwin’s attorneys sent letters to Morrissey and Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza early last week asking them to preserve documents for future litigation, according to copies of the letters seen by Reuters.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it received the letter from Baldwin’s legal team but declined to comment further. Morrissey did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hutchins was killed when Baldwin pointed a gun at him while they were preparing to shoot on a film set near Santa Fe. The gun fired a live round inadvertently loaded by the film’s gunsmith, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
Gutierrez-Reed, who is serving an 18-month prison sentence, filed a motion to dismiss charges in response to prosecutors’ failure to disclose evidence last week on Tuesday.
