Alec Baldwin is known for hating media but in his next outing on small screen he is playing a newspaper columnist in an upcoming episode of 'Law & Order: SVU'.
The 55-year-old actor will play Jimmy McArthur, who questions the SVU squad's motives during a hate crime-rape investigation, reported the New York post.
Baldwin has a long and volatile history with the media.

The episode will go on air on March 19.
Baldwin labeled former MSNBC colleague Joe Scarborough "neither eloquent nor funny" and called host Rachel Maddow as "a phony who doesn't have the same passion for the truth off-camera that she seems to have on the air".
