Baldwin of "The Boss Baby"

Answer:

ALEC

Hint:

This Emmy-winning actor also played Jack Ryan in The Hunt for Red October and has a famous family of actors.

Explanation:

This clue refers to Alec Baldwin, the actor who voiced the title character in the animated film The Boss Baby. The name "Baldwin" is a direct hint to his last name, while "The Boss Baby" narrows it down to his role in that movie. Since the answer is just his first name, you drop the last name and fill in "ALEC."
