Alec Baldwin Apoligizes for Rant on The View

Alec Baldwin gave a public apology for his irrate voicemail to his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, during an appearance on The View taped Wednesday.

"Obviously calling your child a pig or anything else is improper and inappropriate and I apologize to my daughter for that," Baldwin said.

"There's nothing wrong with being frustrated or angry about the situation," he went on. "It's the way you do it, and as people often do in this world, I took it out on the wrong person."

Baldwin indicated that the voicemail was an isolated incident.

"In my own case, with this message, I had never done this before in my life," he said.

Baldwin revealed that he has asked NBC to release him from his contract for 30 Rock because he doesn't want the show or its cast and crew to be negatively affected by the incident.

"If I never acted again I couldn't care less," he said. "I would like to devote myself to the cause of parental alienation."
