SpyCity MadMen pic. Even though Hamm became a star for playing a complicated, serious character, he has shown that he is actually a very funny man. In the years since Mad Men went off the air, Hamm has appeared in a wide variety of comedic roles in films like Bridesmaids and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
He has consistently chosen unexpected roles, most recently appearing as the angel Gabriel in the Amazon Prime series Good Omens.
Had a cocktail. Had a meandering, nebulous discussion about things , because I still hadn't been offered the part… and so, OK, we pay the bill and… meanwhile there was this huge football conference.
I was riding down in the elevator with Franz Beckenbauer, as you do; and the women next to me was the executive, and during the elevator ride, she kind of casually leans over to me and says: 'By the way, you have the part. I said: 'Thanks!
You know that, right? But Hamm did do it, and won instant acclaim for doing it, alongside Matthew Weiner and his castmates. Hamm's been nominated for Emmy awards for each of the three seasons that have qualified so far, and won 's best actor Golden Globe. Is he surprised that the world's love affair with both the show, and his role within it, is showing no signs of abating?
We are 52 episodes in now…. Oh, but that's the point isn't it? Draper has affairs and lies about who he is and gets drunk at lunchtime — so that the rest of us don't have to.
The vicarious thrill of his decadence and his misery; it's why men adore the character, quite as much as women. People are thrilled to watch other people doing this, relieved that they don't have to deal with the consequences — there is a vicarious thrill. It is exciting to see people misbehave. That's a big part of cinema and theatre and television. Watching people who are ostensibly good do bad things, and kind of root for them to get away with it, and know that it's bad and yet…".
Jon Hamm is not Don Draper, obviously. Draper's a fictional creation; and it takes me roughly five seconds in his company to establish that Hamm is softer than Draper, more comfortable in his rugged skin, less wary, gentler, much more garrulous. Yet when an actor inhabits a role as completely and as constantly as Hamm inhabits Draper, and when that role becomes such a defining part of his career trajectory, you have to wonder at the degree of crossover between the character and the man. A big part of acting is subverting who you are in the service of a character.
So I understand that. And the similarities between mine and Don's life are well documented. Growing up as a bit of a wanderer, finding my own way, making my own story… Losing my parents early on, albeit not as dramatically and tragically as Don. When Jon Hamm was 10 years old his mother died, suddenly, of stomach cancer. Hamm went to live with his father, who had divorced his mother when he was two. And then, 10 years later, when Hamm was studying English at the University of Texas, his father died.
But I was very fortunate to have really good friends in my life whose parents sort of rallied: 'We're gonna help this kid out, because otherwise there's going to be trouble…'.
You could have lost it? I struggled with chronic depression. I was in bad shape. I knew I had to get back in school and back in some kind of structured environment and… continue.
Which is what therapy does: it gives you another perspective when you are so lost in your own spiral, your own bullshit. It helps.
And honestly? Antidepressants help! He also plays bass guitar to exorcise his negative emotions, like the good Mr. Rodgers says you should. By Andrew Housman Published Jul 19, Share Share Tweet Email 0. Related Topics SR Originals mad men.
