Actor William “Billy” Baldwin has been spending some time in and around Sacramento for his role in the upcoming film “No Address,” a movie about a “group of individuals who fall into homelessness unexpectedly.”
The full-length feature film was shot in locations across the area, including Land Park and Woodlake, and stars Ashanti, Beverly D’Angelo and Xander Berkeley. The film is produced by Robert Craig Films , based in Rocklin.
During an interview at The Sacramento Bee on Thursday morning, Baldwin said he hopes the movie “will raise awareness and some compassion” about the homelessness crisis.
The company is also producing a documentary called “ Americans with No Address ,” narrated by Baldwin, and a book, too.
Here’s what Baldwin said about the movie, homelessness and his time in the capital city:

Who does William Baldwin play in “No Address?”
Baldwin’s character, Robert, is “a troublemaker,” he said.
Robert is married, with a child, home and job in real estate. He’s tasked to insensitively remove a homeless encampment so that the company he works for can build a multipurpose facility. After many failed attempts to move the encampment, Robert ends up fired and his family becomes residents of the same homeless encampment he was trying to move.
