Prosecutors claim Alec Baldwin's allegedly volatile temper contributed to safety concerns on the set of Rust.

Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis wrote in a new legal filing that seeing the 30 Rock star's behavior at work "is to witness a man who has absolutely no control of his own emotions and absolutely no concern for how his conduct affects those around him."

Alec Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter.

The prosecutors alleged he'd been witnessed "screaming" on-site. They further accused the embattled actor of repeatedly changing his story about what happened on the day that cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was tragically shot and killed by a prop weapon handled by Baldwin.

Following the horrifying incident, the Boss Baby voice actor insisted he hadn't pulled the trigger — a claim that was later proven false by experts who discovered the gun could not have fired without the trigger being pulled in some way.

Morrissey and Lewis called Baldwin's statement "absurd on its face."

The 66-year-old was indicted for involuntary manslaughter this past January.

The court documents alleged Baldwin was responsible for Hutchins' death "by an act committed with the total disregard or indifference for the safety of others, and the act was such that an ordinary person would anticipate that death might occur under the circumstances."
