I recently watched the whole series again, and fell in love with Don Draper. I loved the nuanced and deep portrayal by Jon Hamm. He was neither a good guy nor a bad guy, but a multi-dimensional man, flawed and gifted. This actor's intelligence shines through the role.

[peggyolson]

He's a damn good actor, but this usually gets overshadowed by a focus on the good looks.

Just finished the show. It`s so interesting to see clips from the pilot and see how young they all were back then. It feels like you`ve grown up with them towards the end.

Man called his own character a "coward." Real actor dedicated to creating his character.

[ZaydDepaor]

What a fantastic casting decision to put him in as the lead, never seen him before but the subject matter appealed to me and it is one of best series I have ever seen, he was excellent and the whole cast were, it is depressing that it ended.

Legend has it that the chair on the left is still soaked today.

Humble, sweet, not self-conscious, not pompuos, down to earth and... impossibly good looking. I love him

SO TALENTED HUMBLE HONEST AND HANDSOMEST MAN ALIVE

His testosterone bursts right out of his face. :) Such a great actor and I miss watching him regularly.

Jon was perfect for the Don Draper/Dick Whitman role. Very intelligent. Working class background. And he lost his mom at age 10, then lost his dad at age 20. Broken childhood.

[diankreczmer]

Very. Very smart man
Jon really knows the other characters as well as his own

[tidypeaches]

Jon Hamm really is a fantastic actor whilst being incisive, honest, humorous, and realistic. Very interesting person.

I just binged the series - Jon Hamm was the best of it. So entertaining - John Slattery funny. Really enjoyed their work.

[nataliedelagrandiere]

Maybe one day I'll watch Mad Men again. I loved it so much.

[zoialexiou]

He is by far the most charming man i ' ve ever seen.

[michaelspeers]

She's super intelligent, asks great questions, cool, show, talented, handsome man- she never loses key points about the show- her wide eyes and smiling and crossing her legs, just adds to the interview. They are both charming. I like that he is being interviewed by a mature, sexy woman,

[josephouellette]

Damn, John Hamm really, intellectually, thought out DonnDrapers character. Great insight

[natfingerboard]

I connect to Don on so many levels, I guess I'm a coward as well...

My mom started smoking when she was 16. She's been rushed to the emergency room three times in the last six months because her lungs are destroyed. Don't smoke, y'all.

I can SMELL the interviewer from here, bless her... xx SF
