A rep for Emmy-winning actor Alec Baldwin says the 30 Rock star has no plans to challenge former Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman for his Senate seat.

Matthew Hiltzik, Baldwin’s rep, tells The Associated Press that the actor has no plans to move to Connecticut to run against the Independent senator — and despite recent comments, Alec doesn’t want to see Lieberman leave his seat “because there are so few moderate Republicans in the Senate.”

In an article published in Playboy last week, Baldwin remarked that he had “no use” for Joe — and discussed the possibility of a future in politics. “I have sometimes thought I could move to New Jersey or Connecticut and run,” the actor told the publication. “I’d love to run against Joe Lieberman. I have no use for him.”

Lieberman reacted to Baldwin’s comments in a CNN interview on Saturday, saying, “make my day.”

“You know, I mean, I must say that I respect Alec Baldwin as an actor and as a comedian, and if he wants to run, that’s his right.”
