In his first interview since a film set shooting left a cinematographer dead, a director injured and Hollywood stunned, actor Alec Baldwin appeared emotional, insisting that he didn't want to portray himself as a victim and tearing up several times while being questioned by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in a broadcast aired Thursday.

Baldwin, who authorities have said was practicing with the gun when it discharged, also said he bore no responsibility for the shooting and felt no guilt about it.

21, the crew was preparing for a shootout inside a church when Dave Halls, the assistant director, passed Baldwin a Colt .45 and said “cold gun,” indicating it didn’t have any live rounds, investigators said in a search warrant affidavit.

“That was the moment the gun went off,” he said, adding that everyone on the set was "horrified" and "shocked" at what happened.

The lawyers provided no evidence to support the theory, and Baldwin said it was “overwhelmingly likely” that the shooting was an accident.

Baldwin said Luper thanked him for his position on the possibility that film employees may strike amid stalled contract negotiations — Baldwin publicly backed the union — and said: "We have issues here.".

"My men need better hotel rooms," Baldwin recalled Luper saying.

Baldwin, who was also a producer on the film, said his production responsibilities were strictly creative.

Baldwin claimed that one of the plaintiffs told him immediately after the shooting that he had "no responsibility for what happened here." Baldwin declined to say who made the comment, but he said it was "unsettling" that the suits were filed before Hutchins' husband had had a chance to sue and obtain a settlement from a limited pool of insurance funds

Hutchins' husband, Matthew Hutchins, hasn't said he intends to file a lawsuit, but Baldwin said he would be "stunned" if he didn't

He insisted that he bears no responsibility for the shooting, and when asked whether he felt guilt, he said, "No."
