Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin says that he will quit acting in 2012 as he no longer has the passion for it.

The ‘Hunt For Red October’ star plans to retire from the industry once his contract for hit US TV show ’30 Rock’ expires as he no longer has the passion for it,Contactmusic reported.

“I don’t have any interest in acting anymore. I’m not young,but I have time to do something else,” Baldwin said. The 51-year-old actor,who is set to co-host next year’s Academy Awards with Steve Martin,also claims his movie career has been a flop because he hasn’t been a huge box-office success.

“I consider my entire movie career a complete failure. The goal of moviemaking is to star in a film where your performance drives the film,and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success,and I never had that,” Baldwin said.

The actor recently revealed that he is not nervous about hosting the Academy Awards because he believes there are higher expectations on Martin,who has fronted the Oscars before.

“It is all on Steve. Steve Martin has done this before,while for me it is the first time. All the pressure is on Steve Martin,” Baldwin said.
