Alec Baldwin looked weary as he stepped out with wife, Hilaria Baldwin, to grab a casual dinner in the Hamptons on Thursday.
The 30 Rock alum, 66 – who was recently hailed as ‘the kindest actor’ by the mother of two child actors in the film Rust – stopped by Nick & Toni’s restaurant alongside Hilaria, 40, for a tasty meal.
His latest outing comes nearly two weeks after his Rust shooting trial came to an abrupt end, leaving the star in tears upon hearing the judge’s decision to dismiss the case in a Santa Fe courtroom.
Alec sported a light gray, checkered shirt that was buttoned at the front, as well as a pair of dark gray trousers during the evening excursion.
He additionally slipped into a pair of brown loafers while easily carrying his wallet in his right hand.

The mother-of-seven was also stylishly casual in a pair of loose-fitting, denim jeans as well as a black, long-sleeved cardigan.
The flared hem of her pants concealed the shoes she opted to wear for the Hamptons dinner, and allowed her brunette locks to flow down naturally past her shoulders.
Hilaria – who tied the knot with the Beetlejuice actor in 2012 – opted for minimal accessories, and added a pair of mini, rhinestone earrings and a few flashy rings to complete her look.
She was seen flashing a smile while holding hands with her husband as they strolled outdoors together.
Baldwin’s outing comes nearly two weeks after his Rust shooting trial was dismissed – causing an emotional reaction from the star and his wife.
Most recently, one of the juror’s on the case – which was dismissed on July 12 – told People in an article published on Tuesday that ‘the case seemed mishandled from the get-go.’
Martina Marquez – a resident of New Mexico – added that the fateful shooting, which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza, was ‘an unfortunate accident.’
‘The indictment charge seemed a little bit harsh. Just starting from the lapel cam videos, it didn’t make sense how they could point fingers directly towards him as a whole.’

Marquez also recalled seeing body cam footage during the trial which showed an assortment of people on the set not long after the shooting had occurred.
Lieutenant Timoteo Benavidez also was seen looking for the prop gun in the footage and was finally given the item by armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed – who notably was sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter.
‘It didn’t make sense. We all watch TV and we watch movies. You’re not supposed to really touch evidence and move it from place to place,’ Martina said.
‘So that made me iffy about the situation because it could have been in so many people’s hands by the time the lieutenant actually confiscated it.’
‘I felt like she was liable for what happened,’ Marquez said of Gutierrez-Reed.
In regards to the charges against Alec and the case, the juror expressed to People, ‘that it didn’t need to go this far. And it did seem pointless.’
The widower of the late cinematographer, Matthew Hutchins, released a statement after the judge’s decision and said that he ‘respects the court’s decision.’
However, he also added that, ‘We look forward to presenting all the evidence to a jury and holding Mr Baldwin accountable for his actions in the senseless death of Halyna.’

Baldwin is also planning on suing a New Mexico state prosecutor and sheriff after it emerged they withheld evidence from his defense team during their failed bid to prosecute him over the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set for Rust.
Charges of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin were dismissed after a New Mexico judge agreed that prosecutor Kari Morrissey and Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza withheld evidence about the source of the live round that killed Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
The evidence came from a man who dropped it off at the sheriff’s office in March, more than two years after the shooting, who said it may be relevant.
But investigators believed it was unrelated and unimportant, and did not disclose it to Baldwin’s defense team.
Baldwin’s lawyers sent letters to Morrissey and Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza earlier last week on Monday asking them to preserve documents for future litigation, according to copies of the letters seen by Reuters.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it received the letter from Baldwin’s legal team but declined further comment. Morrissey did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hutchins died when Baldwin pointed a gun at her as they set up a camera shot on a movie set near Santa Fe. The gun fired a live round inadvertently loaded by the movie’s chief weapons handler Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
Gutierrez-Reed, serving an 18-month prison sentence, filed a motion for dismissal of charges in response to the prosecutors’ failures to disclose evidence last week on Tuesday.

They claimed prosecutors failed to disclose evidence on the live rounds, testing of Baldwin’s gun by firearms expert Lucien Haag and an interview with the movie’s props supplier Seth Kenney.
After the dismissal of the case, Alec broke his silence and penned on Instagram, ‘There are too many people who have supported me to thank just now.’
‘To all of you, you will never know how much I appreciate your kindness toward my family,’ he added.
Over the past weekend on Saturday, Alec also made his first red carpet appearance since the end of the case while joined by wife, Hilaria, in East Hampton.
He held a smile on his face as he attended the HamptonsFilm SummerDocs screening of War Game.
Baldwin donned a pair of dark gray trousers as well as a light blue shirt and black blazer on top. The actor completed his ensemble for the weekend outing by slipping into a pair of black, leather loafers.
Hilaria also dressed for the occasion wearing a figure-hugging, pink dress that clung to her frame and was held up with thick straps that wrapped around her shoulders.
