So is it reasonable expect every actor in every tv show and movie to do this every time and also know the difference between a blank and a bullet every time as well?

Yes.  It's not hard at all.  Blanks don't have a bullet, the brass is just crimped shut.

What's more, speaking about Alec Baldwin specifically, he has multiple rants on Twitter about how dangerous guns are.  Wouldn't you think he, of all people, would be careful with them?  Except he wasn't.  He's a gun control fanatic, and yet he's shot more people than 99% of gun owners.
