In Mission: Impossible – Fallout, which actor plays CIA director Alan Hunley?

Alec Baldwin plays CIA director Alan Hunley in Mission: Impossible – Fallout.

Hunley begins the film as a senior CIA official who distrusts Ethan Hunt’s judgment after the loss of the plutonium. His position puts him in conflict with Ethan, but the expanding threat eventually requires cooperation. As the story progresses, Hunley becomes an important authority figure within the operation against the Apostles.

Baldwin first played Hunley in Rogue Nation, where the character was the CIA director who opposed the IMF. That earlier role helps explain the tension between Hunley and Ethan in Fallout. Laurence Fishburne plays Secretary of Defense Bernstein, while Angela Bassett plays CIA director Erika Sloane. Jeremy Renner plays William Brandt in earlier entries but does not portray Hunley.
