Early life[]

Hamm was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of Deborah (Garner) Hamm and Daniel Hamm.[8] His father managed a family trucking company, and his mother was a secretary.[9][10] He is of German, English and Irish descent; his surname came from German immigrants.[11]

Hamm's parents divorced when he was two years old, and he lived in the St. Louis suburb of Creve Coeur with his mother[10] until her death from colon cancer when he was 10 years old.[12] Hamm then lived with his father and grandmother in Normandy, Missouri.[13]

His first acting role was as Winnie-the-Pooh in first grade.[14] At 16, he was cast as Judas in the play Godspell,[15] and enjoyed the experience, though he did not take acting seriously. He attended John Burroughs School, a private school in Ladue, where he was a member of the football, baseball, and swim teams.[16] During this time, he dated Sarah Clarke, who became an actress.[17] When Hamm was 20, his father died.

After graduation in 1989, Hamm enrolled at the University of Texas. His younger cousin Davy Hamm attended Texas A&M, which led to division within the family. Davy was known for throwing the Texas Longhorns' hand gesture "Horns up" out of embarrassment. whenever he got a chance.[18] He was a member of the Upsilon chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity.

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[19]

Hamm later transferred to the University of Missouri.[18] At Missouri he answered an advertisement from a theater company seeking players for a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, auditioned, and was cast in the production.[16] Other roles followed, such as Leon Czolgosz in Assassins.[20]

Hazing Incident[]

While at the University of Texas, Hamm was arrested for participating in a violent hazing incident in November 1990.[21] The 20-year-old Hamm[21] lit the pledge's jeans on fire, shoved his face in the dirt, and struck him with a paddle over his right kidney, before leading the pledge around the fraternity house with a hammer claw around the pledge's testicles.[20] The incident resulted in the fraternity being shut down on campus. The pledge ended up needing medical care, and ultimately withdrew from school.[21] Hamm made a plea deal and completed probation under the terms of a deferred adjudication, allowing him to not actually be charged with a crime.[21][22][23][24] The charges were dismissed in August 1995.[22][24][23]

Acting career[]

After graduating in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English,[22] Hamm returned to his high school to teach eighth-grade acting.[10][16][24] One of his students was Ellie Kemper, who became an actress. Years later, Hamm appeared in Kemper's Netflix series, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.[23]

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[25]

Not wishing to stay in a "normal career," Hamm relocated to Los Angeles permanently during 1995[26] with an automobile and $150.[17] He moved into a house with four other aspiring actors and began working as a waiter while attending auditions.[16] He acted in theatre, including as Flavius in a production of Shakespeare's Timon of Athens with the Sacred Fools Theater Company.[27]

Looking older than his age, he found it difficult to find work as an actor, despite representation by the William Morris Agency. [17][25][26][28] During 1998, having failed to obtain any acting jobs after three years, he was terminated as a client by William Morris.[9]

Hamm continued working as a waiter[16] and, briefly, as a set designer for a softcore pornography movie.[25] After repeatedly failing to get promising roles, Hamm set his 30th birthday as a deadline to succeed in Hollywood,[15] 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.[16]

During 2000, Hamm landed the role of romantic firefighter Burt Ridley on NBC's drama series Providence.[29][30] His one-episode contract grew to 19,[10][14] and allowed him to quit waiting tables.[17][28] Hamm made his feature movie debut with one line in Clint Eastwood's space adventure Space Cowboys (2000);[29][31] more substantial roles followed in the independent comedy movie Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)[32] and the war film We Were Soldiers (2002).[29][33] During filming of that movie, he turned 30.[15]

Hamm's career was bolstered by his playing the recurring role of police inspector Nate Basso on Lifetime's television series The Division, from 2002 to 2004.[29][30] Other minor roles followed on the television series What About Brian, CSI: Miami, Related, Numb3rs, The Unit, and The Sarah Silverman Program.[29][30] Hamm's Mad Men castmate Eric Ladin said in an interview that he admired Hamm because he was persistent until he became successful as an actor.[34]

International recognition[]

Hamm landed his breakthrough role during 2007, when he was cast from more than 80 candidates[25] as the protagonist character Don Draper, in AMC's drama series Mad Men. In the series, set in a fictional 1960s Madison Avenue (“Mad”) advertising agency, he plays a suave, married advertising executive with an obscure past.[35] He 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".[36] He believes that an actor with a "proven track record" would likely have been chosen if another network had broadcast the show.[26] He went through numerous auditions; each time he explained to the casting directors what he could bring to the character, if given the part.[16] Alan Taylor and Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner initially thought Hamm was too handsome for the role but ultimately decided, "it was perfect to cast sort of the perfect male in this part". Weiner also sensed that the actor had suffered early loss of his parents, which was similar to Draper's backstory.[9][37] Hamm says that he used memories of his father to portray Draper,[citation needed] a well-dressed, influential man of business and society[14] hiding great inner turmoil[9] and experiencing changes in the world beyond his control.

Mad Men debuted on July 19, 2007, with almost 1.4 million viewers.[38] It developed a loyal audience, with Hamm receiving strong reviews. Robert Bianco of USA Today was complimentary of Hamm's performance, describing the actor's interpretation of Draper as a "starmaking performance".[39] The Boston Globe's Matthew Gilbert termed Hamm a "brilliant lead".[40]

For his work, Hamm won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama during 2008.[41] Also during 2008, he was nominated for both the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor and the Primetime Emmy Award[42] for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.[43] During 2009, Hamm was again nominated for the Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award in the same category,[41][44] and received another Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.[45] During 2010, Hamm received his third Golden Globe Award nomination.[46] Mad Men concluded its seven-season run on May 17, 2015.[47] 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 for and producing the series.[48]

Hamm's next film role was for the 2008 science fiction movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, a remake of the 1951 film of the same name.[49] Although the movie received mixed reviews,[50] it was successful financially, earning $230 million worldwide.[51] Hamm hosted Saturday Night Live, season 34, episode 6, on October 25, 2008,[52] and played various roles, including Don Draper in two sketches.[53] He returned as host again on January 30 and October 30, 2010.[54][55] During 2009, Hamm guest-featured in three episodes of the NBC television situation comedy show 30 Rock, as Drew Baird, a doctor who is a neighbor and love interest of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey).[56] For these performances, he received three nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.[57]

Hamm's first leading film role came with the independent mystery thriller Stolen in 2009, in which he played a police officer whose son has been missing for eight years.[58][59] Hamm had a minor voice role in the animated feature Shrek Forever After— released during May 2010 — as an ogre leader named Brogan.[60] Also that year, he appeared as an FBI agent in the movie The Town (2010), with Ben Affleck.[61] After having received "about 40 scripts that were all set in the 60s, or had me playing advertising guys", Hamm was pleased that the movie offered a role "the opposite to Don Draper".[62] The feature received generally favorable reviews[63] and earned $144 million worldwide.[64]

His next acting role was as defense attorney Jake Ehrlich in the independent film Howl, based on Allen Ginsberg's eponymous 1956 poem.[65] On December 12, 2010, Hamm made a guest appearance as an FBI supervisor on Fox's animated series The Simpsons.[66] He featured in Zack Snyder's action-fantasy film Sucker Punch (2011), as the character High Roller and the doctor.[67] He also had a supporting role in the comedy Bridesmaids as Kristen Wiig's "rude and arrogant sex buddy".[68] Hamm was next seen in the independent feature Friends with Kids (2011), which he produced alongside his then-partner Jennifer Westfeldt.[69] The story concerns a group of friends whose lives are changed as the couples in the group begin to have children.

He had a recurring role in the situation comedy The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret in 2012, as the servant of sociopathic billionaire Dave Mountford (Blake Harrison).[70] Hamm hosted the 21st ESPYS Awards on July 17, 2013.[71] The next year, he played sports agent J.B. Bernstein in Disney's sports drama Million Dollar Arm (2014).[72] He co-featured with Daniel Radcliffe in A Young Doctor's Notebook, playing an older version of Radcliffe's character, from December 2012 to December 2013.[73] In December 2014, Hamm guest starred in a special Christmas episode of the British science fiction anthology series Black Mirror, titled "White Christmas".[74] He had a number of roles during 2015, including the comedy show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. He was featured in the animated comedy Minions, as the voice of Herb Overkill.[75][76][77] Minions was a major box office success; despite mixed reviews, it grossed a total of over $1 billion worldwide.[78]

What we have is much deeper and we both know that. To me, people get married when they're ready to have kids, which I'm not ruling out."[89] Along with Westfeldt, Hamm appeared in Gap-related campaign advertisements.[90] In April 2009, Hamm and Westfeldt formed their own production company, Points West Pictures.[91][92]
