"30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin doesn't like photographs. At least, not when he's finalizing a marriage license. The 54-year-old actor reportedly punched a photographer in the face when the guy tried to get a shot of him leaving the Marriage License Bureau in New York City on Tuesday. Unlike the Bieber incident, this beatdown has some convincing photos to back it up. Still, Baldwin refuses to back down.

Photographer Marcus Santos told The Daily News, "He comes after me, starts shoving and punching me —- one time, right in the chin. And then he started shoving me, and pushing me. He lunged at me like raging bull." Baldwin stuck to his guns on Twitter. He wrote, "A 'photographer' almost hit me in the face with his camera this morning #allpaparazzishouldbewaterboarded ... I suppose if the offending paparazzi was wearing a hoodie and I shot him, it would all blow over." Do you think Alec Baldwin's attack was OK, or was it just a juvenile assault?

Paparazzi are disgusting. Giving people no respect or space, and yelling out the stupidest junk. Back off.

Of course. Have you said things to a family member that you regretted later?

Nothing that bad. Screaming at his daughter...he's crazy.

I agree in someways but I don't know him personally. Since he is a public figure he stands out more. The airline incident does tell us something more about his personality.

This is why I could never be a famous actor or actress. The lack of privacy and nosy paparazzi? No, thanks. I'd end up an agoraphobic. Or in prison for murder.

I get that it's the paparazzi's job to take pics and annoy, but I just don't like them.
The photographer invaded his privacy, so Baldwin invaded his space.

The paparazzi Have no boundaries and no respect for anyone's personal space, I'm surprised they don't get beaten more often.

I say this about every celebrity who attacks paparazzi.

If you don't want to get punched in the face, don't follow them around and take pictures of them.

Alec, Alec, Alec, grow up already. I really think he is mentally ill.

Hard to say really. On one hand, it's almost like it's typical of Alec to react that way, on the other, Paparazzo seem to have NO BOUNDARIES these days.

Anything for that damn money-shot. Next they'll follow celebs into a public stall.

But, really... it looks staged. Obviously SOMEONE ELSE was there to take that picture there of Alec getting a good shove at him.

I hope the jack wagon doesn't press charges on Alec. He knew what dangers he faced when he picked up that camera.
