By Haley Martin “Charmed and Dangerous,” By Laura Jacobs http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2013/03/bad-boys-hollywood-alec-baldwin Since this was a piece about a type of character in Hollywood and not a specific person, I like that the writer found a way to incorporate many different actors as examples.
