Baldwin to join 'Nip/Tuck' cast

Oscar and Emmy nominee Alec Baldwin will join the cast of "Nip/Tuck" for the show's season finale next month.
He'll play Dr. Barrett Moore, the ex-husband of "life coach" Ava Moore (Famke Janssen), who has succeeded mostly in disrupting the lives of the show's lead characters. The episode is scheduled for Oct. 5.
Baldwin will be joined in the finale by Joan Rivers, who will come to Drs. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) for an unusual plastic-surgery consultation.
"Nip/Tuck," which was nominated for five Emmys this year (it won the award for best prosthetic makeup at the Creative Arts ceremony last weekend), is developing a reputation as a guest-star magnet. In addition to Baldwin, Janssen and Rivers, the series has also featured Vanessa Redgrave -- the mother of star Joely Richardson -- Aisha Tyler, Jill Clayburgh and Leslie Bibb this season.
Baldwin earned an Academy Award nomination this year for "The Cooler." He has three Emmy nominations in his career, most recently for the 2002 HBO movie "Path to War."
Other credits include "Glengarry Glen Ross," "The Hunt for Red October" and "The Royal Tenenbaums." He'll next be seen in "The Last Shot," scheduled for release Sept. 24.
