James takes a look at Jon Hamm’s split personality of handsome, cold, serious dramatic actor\u00a0and funny, down-to-earth goofball<\/em>. Originally run on July 9th, 2011.<\/em><\/p>\n A few weeks ago Mad Men fans rejoiced at the news that Jon Hamm signed a 3-year, 8-figure contract to stay with the hit AMC show. After negotiations between the creator of the show, its star and the cable channel\/Lionsgate TV had looked a little rocky, everything seems to have worked out. And while all the Mad Men fans were saying \u201cwham, bam, thank you Hamm\u201d for letting the show continue as we know it, I was rejoicing about something else. I was smiling about his well-executed, well-received role as Kristen Wiig\u2019s selfish lover Ted in Bridesmaids. As Hamm is most widely known as cold, stone-faced Don Draper from Mad Men, some were surprised to see him acting in a comedy and doing it well. These people must not have seen any of the 3 episodes of Saturday Night Live he hosted in the last 3 years.<\/p>\n
