Jonathan Daniel "Jon" Hamm (born March 10, 1971)[1] is an American actor, director, and television producer best known for playing advertising executive Don Draper in the AMC drama series, Mad Men (2007–2015).

For much of the mid-1990s, Hamm lived in Los Angeles, making appearances in television series Providence, The Division, What About Brian, and Related. In 2000, he made his feature film debut in the space adventure film Space Cowboys. The following year, he had a minor role in the independent comedy, Kissing Jessica Stein (2001).

Hamm gained wide recognition when Mad Men began airing in July 2007. His performance earned him the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama in 2008 and 2016 and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2015. He also directed two episodes of the show. In 2008, Hamm appeared in a remake of the science fiction film The Day The Earth Stood Still. His first leading film role was in the 2010 independent thriller Stolen. He also had supporting roles in The Town (2010), Sucker Punch (2011), and Bridesmaids (2011). Hamm has received 16 Primetime Emmy Award nominations for his performances in Mad Men, 30 Rock (2006–2013), and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015–present).

His other television credits include starring in the Sky Arts series A Young Doctor's Notebook and guest roles in Parks and Recreation and Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. He provided his voice to the animated film Shrek Forever After in 2010, and in 2015, he starred in the animated film Minions.

Early life

Hamm was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of Deborah and Daniel Hamm. His father ran a family trucking company and his mother was a secretary.[2][3] He is of German, English, and Irish descent; his surname originates with German immigrants.[4] Hamm's parents divorced when he was two years old, and he lived in Creve Coeur with his mother[3] until her death from colon cancer when he was 10.[5] Hamm then moved in with his father.[6] Hamm's first acting role was as Winnie the Pooh in first grade;[7] at 16, he was cast as Judas in Godspell,[8] and enjoyed the experience, though he did not take acting seriously. Hamm attended the private John Burroughs School in Ladue, where he was a member of the football, baseball, and swim teams.[6] During this time, he dated future actress Sarah Clarke.[9] His father died when he was 20.

Following graduation in 1989, Hamm enrolled at the University of Texas,[10] where he was a member of the Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity.[11] While Hamm was attending the University of Texas he was arrested for participating in a violent hazing incident that occurred in November 1990 in which another student, Mark Sanders, was beaten with a paddle and a broom, where Hamm was leading Sanders around the fraternity house with the claw of a hammer beneath Sander's genitals, and had his clothes set on fire.[12][13][14] The incident led to the fraternity being shutdown on campus.[12][13][14] Hamm completed the terms of a deferred adjudication and the charges were dismissed in August 1995.[12][13][14]

“ Acting was fun, but my grandfather would always tell me, 'It's never too late to be an engineer.' You were supposed to get a 'job' and do acting on weekends or at school. ”
— Jon Hamm[15]

Hamm enrolled at the University of Missouri.[10] At Missouri he answered an advertisement from a theater company looking for players in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, auditioned, and was cast in the production.[6] Other roles followed, such as Leon Czolgosz in Assassins.[16] After graduating in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts in English,[17] Hamm returned to his high school to teach eighth-grade acting.[3][6][18] One of his students was Ellie Kemper, who later became an actress and would go on to star in the Netflix original series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which Hamm had a recurring role in;[19] another was Beau Willimon, who became a screenwriter.[20][21]

Career

Early work

“ I came in the Dawson's Creek era; it was all about tiny guys who looked like teenagers, and I haven't looked like a teenager ever. So I was, like, auditioning to be their dads. At 25. ”
— Hamm, on not finding work as a young actor[22]

Hamm has known actor Paul Rudd for many years,[9][23] and visited him in Hollywood in 1992. Not wishing to stay in a "normal career", Hamm moved to Los Angeles permanently in 1995[24] with an automobile and $150.[9] He moved into a house with four other aspiring actors and began working as a waiter while attending auditions.[6] He acted in theatre, including as Flavius in a production of Shakespeare's Timon of Athens with the Sacred Fools Theater Company.[25]

Finding employment as an actor was difficult, despite representation by the William Morris Agency[26] because unlike other actors his age, he could not be cast in youth-oriented productions like Dawson's Creek due to his older appearance.[9][24][22] In 1998, having failed to obtain any acting jobs after three years,[2] he was dropped by William Morris. Hamm continued working as a waiter,[6] and briefly as a set designer for a softcore pornography film.[22] After repeatedly failing to obtain promising roles, he set his 30th birthday as a deadline to succeed in Hollywood,[8] stating:

You either suck that up and find another agent, or you go home and say you gave it a shot, but that's the end of that. The last thing I wanted to be out here was one of those actors who's 45 years old, with a tenuous grasp of their own reality, and not really working much. So I gave myself five years. I said, if I can't get it going by the time I'm 30, I'm in the wrong place. And as soon as I said that, it's like I started working right away.[6]

In 2000, Hamm obtained the role of romantic firefighter Burt Ridley on NBC's drama series Providence.[27][28] His one-episode contract grew to 19,[3][7] and led him to quit waiting tables.[9][26] Hamm made his feature film debut with one line in Clint Eastwood's space adventure Space Cowboys (2000);[27][29] more substantial roles followed in the independent comedy Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)[30] and the war film We Were Soldiers (2002),[27][31] during filming of which he turned 30.[8] His career was further bolstered when he played the recurring role of police inspector Nate Basso on Lifetime's television series The Division from 2002 to 2004.[27][28] Other minor roles followed on the television series What About Brian, CSI: Miami, Related, Numb3rs, The Unit, and The Sarah Silverman Program.[27][28] Hamm's Mad Men castmate Eric Ladin had said that one of the reasons he looks up to Jon is that while he "made it" later than most actors, Hamm never gave up on acting.[32]

International recognition

Hamm received his breakthrough role in 2007 when he was cast from more than 80 candidates[22] as the protagonist character Don Draper in AMC's drama series Mad Men. In the series, set in a fictional 1960s advertising agency, he plays a suave advertising executive with an obscure past.[33] Hamm recalled, "I read the script for Mad Men and I loved it. [...] I never thought they'd cast me—I mean, I thought they'd go with one of the five guys who look like me but are movie stars",[23] and that an actor with a "proven track record" would likely have been chosen if another network had aired the show.[24] He went through numerous auditions, and explained each time to the casting directors what he could bring to the character, if given the part.[6] Alan Taylor and Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner thought that Hamm was too handsome for the role, but decided that "it was perfect to cast sort of the perfect male in this part"; Weiner also sensed that the actor had not been raised by his parents, similar to Draper's backstory.[2][34]

Hamm in November 2008

Hamm used memories of his father to portray Draper,[35] a well-dressed, influential figure in business and society[7] hiding great inner turmoil[2] and facing changes in the world beyond his control. Mad Men debuted on July 19, 2007, with almost 1.4 million viewers.[36] It quickly developed a loyal audience, with Hamm receiving strong reviews. Robert Bianco of USA Today was complimentary of Hamm, noting that his interpretation of Draper was a "starmaking performance".[37] The Boston Globe's Matthew Gilbert called Hamm a "brilliant lead".[38] For his work, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama in 2008.[39] Also in 2008, he was nominated for both the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor and the Primetime Emmy Award[40] for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.[41] In 2009, Hamm was again nominated for the Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award in the same category,[39][42] and received another Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.[43] In 2010, Hamm received his third Golden Globe Award nomination.[44] Mad Men concluded its seven-season run on May 17, 2015.[45] Hamm received his first Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series on September 20, 2015 after receiving 12 Emmy nominations for acting on and producing the series.[46]

Hamm's next film role was in the 2008 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still, a remake of the 1951 film of the same name.[47] Although the film received mixed reviews,[48] it was financially successful, earning $230 million worldwide at the box office.[49] Hamm hosted the sixth episode of the 34th season of Saturday Night Live on October 25, 2008.[50] He played various roles, including Don Draper in two sketches.[51] He returned to host again on January 30 and October 30, 2010.[52][53] In 2009, Hamm guest starred in three episodes of the NBC situation comedy show 30 Rock as Drew Baird, a doctor who is a neighbor and love interest of Liz Lemon's (Tina Fey).[54] For these performances, he received three nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.[55]

Hamm's film projects post 2009 included the independent mystery thriller Stolen and his first leading role, in which he plays a man trying to demystify the circumstances surrounding his son's kidnapping.[56][57] The Hollywood Reporter's Frank Scheck stated that the feature never came together, and said that Hamm was unable to do much with his "underwritten role".[58] Hamm had a voice cameo in the animated feature Shrek Forever After, released in May 2010, as an ogre leader named Brogan.[59] He appeared as an FBI agent in The Town with Ben Affleck;[60] after receiving "about 40 scripts that were all set in the 60s, or had me playing advertising guys", Hamm was pleased that the film offered a role "the opposite to Don Draper".[61] The feature received generally favorable reviews,[62] and earned $144 million worldwide.[63] His next acting role was as defense attorney Jake Ehrlich in the independent drama Howl, based on Allen Ginsberg's 1956 poem of the same name.[64] On December 12, 2010, Hamm made a guest appearance as an FBI supervisor on Fox's animated series The Simpsons.[65] Returning to film, he appeared in Zack Snyder's 2011 action-fantasy movie Sucker Punch, as the character High Roller, and the doctor.[66] He also had a supporting role in the comedy Bridesmaids as Kristen Wiig's "rude and arrogant sex buddy".[67] Hamm was next seen in the independent feature Friends with Kids (2011) which he produced alongside partner Jennifer Westfeldt.[68] The story centers around a group of friends whose lives are changed as the couples in the group begin to have children.

He has a recurring role in the sitcom The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret as the servant of sociopathic billionaire Dave Mountford (Blake Harrison),[69] the role of which is later revealed to in fact be a fictionalized version of Hamm, complaining that being made into Dave's servant has made him need to be written out of four episodes of Mad Men. Hamm hosted the 21st ESPYS Awards on July 17, 2013.[70] and played sports agent J.B. Bernstein in Disney's sports drama Million Dollar Arm the following year.[71]

Hamm starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe in the Ovation television dark comedy A Young Doctor's Notebook, playing an older version of Radcliffe's character, from December 2012 to December 2013.[72] He had a number of roles in 2015, including the comedy shows Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, as well as the animated comedy Minions as the voice of Herb Overkill.[73][74][75] Minions was a major box office success, despite mixed reviews; it grossed a total of over $1 billion worldwide.[76]

Personal life

In 1997, Hamm began a relationship with actress and screenwriter Jennifer Westfeldt.[77] They own homes in Los Angeles and the Upper West Side in New York.[5][30] In an interview discussion about his relationship with Westfeldt, Hamm said: "We may not have a piece of paper that says we're husband and wife, but after 10 years, Jennifer is more than just a girlfriend. What we have is much deeper and we both know that. To me, people [should] get married when they're ready to have kids, which I'm not ruling out."[78] Along with Westfeldt, Hamm has appeared in Gap-related campaign advertisements.[79] In April 2009, Hamm and Westfeldt formed their own production company, Points West Pictures.[80][81] Hamm and Westfeldt are advocates of animal rescue and have adopted a mixed breed dog named Cora from the Much Love Animal Shelter in California.[82] In September 2015, Hamm and Westfeldt announced they were ending their relationship.[77]

Although his role as Don Draper requires him to smoke, Hamm gave up smoking when he was 24.[83][84] On set he does not smoke actual cigarettes, but rather herbal cigarettes that do not contain tobacco or nicotine.[84][85] In March 2015, Hamm's representative confirmed that Hamm had recently completed inpatient treatment for alcoholism.[86]

Hamm reported developing vitiligo throughout the filming of the show Mad Men.[87]

Internationally viewed as a sex symbol, Hamm was named one of Salon.com's Sexiest Man Living in 2007,[88] and was named one of People magazine's Sexiest Men Alive in 2008.[89] Hamm also won GQ's 'International Man' award in September 2010.[90] In November 2008, Entertainment Weekly named him one of their Entertainers of the Year.[91] He again was named one of the magazine's Entertainers of the Year in 2010.[92]

Hamm is an avid golfer and tennis player.[93] He is a devoted fan of the National Hockey League (NHL) team the St. Louis Blues, even appearing in two television spots advertising for the team.[94] He is also a fan of the Major League Baseball (MLB) team the St. Louis Cardinals,[95] and narrated the official highlight film for the 2011 World Series which the Cardinals won. He is also a cricket fan, having been introduced to the sport by Daniel Radcliffe when filming A Young Doctor's Notebook.[96]

In March 2010, Hamm was hired by Mercedes-Benz as their new voiceover for their campaign with the S400 Hybrid vehicle. Hamm replaced actor Richard Thomas.[97] Also, in 2013 American Airlines debuted a commercial titled "Change is in the Air" featuring Hamm as the voice-over. Hamm is an American Airlines frequent flier and his Mad Men character Don Draper often spoke of aspiring to win such accounts as American Airlines.[98]

Hamm identifies as a Democrat.[99]
