Individuals Redefine Words for Their Own Use - Jon Hamm Claims Television Executive Told Him They'll Never Make Him a TV Lead Actor
Actor Jon Hamm, who played the role of Don Draper in "Mad Men," shared how he was once overlooked for TV success. A TV network executive told his agent, "Jon Hamm will never become a TV star," according to the 53-year-old star when talking to "Hollywood Reporter." The man who made that comment no longer holds that position in the network.
Hamm went on to describe his many auditions with this network and their head. "I kept coming down to the final two with the person who eventually got the job," he said. Auditioning itself was nerve-wracking, but it was the only way for actors to get ahead.
Lately, Hamm has appeared in dramas like "Fargo" and "The Morning Show." His career has taken off since his time in "Mad Men," which aired from 2007 to 2015.
