next year he made a showing in Mel
Gibson’s We Were Soldiers he also
continued guest starring on a variety of
TV shows and won a regular position on

as Inspector Nate Basso it’s not about
how I feel it wasn’t until 2007 that Jon
Hamm really made his splash that year he
took the role of the philandering
alcoholic and brilliant ad executive Don
Draper on the AMC drama Mad Men
advertising is based on one
happiness ironically ham went through
seven auditions and almost missed out on
the role because he was too handsome but
his troubled youth helped him portray
the damaged Draper perfectly the show
became an instant hit and ham was
nominated for an Emmy Award and won a
Best Actor Golden Globe ham tried to
replicate his television success in film
with a spot in the low-budget
independent movie IRA and Abie and
alongside Keanu Reeves in the
blockbuster science-fiction remake The
Day the Earth Stood Still in 2008 but
given the speed at which this object is
moving our chances of success are slim
at best to promote that movie ham hosted
Saturday Night Live and showed off his
stellar comedic chops his success on
that show actually earned him a
recurring role on former SNL star Tina
Fey sitcom 30 rock in 2009 I feel like I
should do the right thing here and tell
you that your breast is falling out of
your blouse and I can see all of it for
that hem earned yet another Emmy
nomination it was in 2009 that ham
landed his first leading film role in
the thriller stolen however the film
failed to make a dent at the box office
that year ham decided to take on more
responsibilities in filmmaking by
founding the production house Points
West pictures with his longtime partner
jennifer Westfeldt in 2010 ham appealed
to a new audience by lending his voice
to an ogre and Shrek Forever After that
cupcake eating clown finally leaves the

substantial tendency to corrupt by
arousing lustful desires while still
thriving on Mad Men ham to gun more
movie roles in 2011 he played the high
roller in Zack Snyder’s action fantasy
sucker punch and co-produced the indie
ensemble film friends with kids with his

of the david cross led sitcom the
increasingly poor decisions of Todd
Margaret he’s been named one of the
