He told The Hollywood Reporter that "we live in a world now where every word is micro-parsed and sometimes taken out of context, sometimes misunderstood."
Over its run, Mad Men has garnered stellar reviews and won several awards, including the 2011 Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. Hamm personally won a Golden Globe Award in 2008, and received four Emmy Award nominations for his work as Don Draper.
Film and TV Projects
Stepping away from the finely tailored vintage suits, Hamm appeared in the 2008 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still with Keanu Reeves. He also had roles in the crime drama Stolen (2009) and the Allen Ginsburg biopic, Howl (2010). Showing his comedic talents, Hamm also had a recurring role on the hit sitcom 30 Rock. He plays the handsome, but not very bright, neighbor of TV writer Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey).
Wanting to have greater control over his career, Hamm established a production company, Points West Pictures, with girlfriend Westfeldt in 2009. The pair co-starred together in her latest film, Friends with Kids in 2012, which also featured Adam Scott, Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig. Hamm also had appeared in the 2011 hit comedy Bridesmaids with Wiig. In this film, Hamm played Wiig's cruel love interest.
