Alec Baldwin appeared to lose his composure as he was riled up by a comedian impersonating Donald Trump.
Actor Alec Baldwin has regularly played President Trump in a mocking fashion on Saturday Night Live which may be a reason a comedian chose to target him.
Comedian Jason Scoop shared a video on his Instagram page on Monday showing him taunting the actor as he unloaded his car outside of his New York City home.
Baldwin initially ignored the comedian as he rattled on, but later appeared to lose his temper and threatened to break the neck of Scoop.

The comedian made reference to the 2021 Rust shooting where cinematagrapher Halyna Hutchins was accidentally shot and killed.
She died as a result of a prop gun Baldwin was holding went off. He was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter and pleaded not guilty, however this was eventually thrown out by a judge last year in July.
During the interaction, Scoop said: “Look, Alec, I will offer you a total pardon ’cause I wanna be friends, right? I wanna be friends. I will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring.”
He then proceeded to hold up a comically large ring and repeatedly told the actor to kiss it.
Scoop continued: “Look at Alec Baldwin, right? He did that impersonation of me. It was not too hot, not too good. But look, we’re back in office.
"You [the Democrats] lost. Kamala [Harris] lost. She’s somewhere getting intoxicated.
“Well, Alec, if you don’t want that pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood — you can call it first-degree, you can call it whatever you want, but it was not good.
"She’s looking down on me right now, smiling, happy. ‘Thank you for confronting the man who took me out, who killed me.”
This proved to be the last straw for Baldwin who then approached Scoop and demanded he look at him.
He added: “You got a camera on me here? You realize my kids live in this building? But I want you to know something. I want you to be real careful. If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f**king neck in half and break your f**king neck right here. You know that, don’t you?”
Baldwin then returned to unpacking his things with Scoop remaining in character and responding: “OK, Alec Baldwin. All right, Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin, ladies and gentlemen! Class act! Believe me.”
