Early life

Hamm was born on March 10, 1971, in St. Louis, Missouri to Deborah and Daniel "Dan" Hamm.[1][2] His parents divorced when he was two years old, and he lived with his mother in Creve Coeur, Missouri,[2] until she was diagnosed with advanced cancer when he was 10.[3] Although doctors removed two-thirds of her colon, she died soon after and Hamm moved in with his father,[4] but after a few years his father fell ill and died when Hamm was 20.[4] He said that teachers and friends' parents filled in as parental figures.[4]

Hamm attended John Burroughs School in Ladue, Missouri, a private prep academy, where he was a member of the football, baseball, and swim teams.[4] When Hamm was 16, he was cast as Judas in Godspell,[5] and enjoyed the experience, though, he confessed that he did not take acting seriously. "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' job and do acting on weekends or at school."[6] Following graduation in 1989, he enrolled at the University of Texas, but dropped out during his sophomore year,[7] following the passing of his father. Hamm moved back home to attend the University of Missouri, where he studied English.[7] Hamm 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.[4]

After graduating in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English,[8] Hamm returned to teach at his high school teaching eighth grade acting as a gesture of repayment for the school's support during his adolescent years.[2][4] He worked at the school as a faculty drama teacher.[9] One of his students during this time was Ellie Kemper, an actress best known for her role on The Office.[10]

Career

Early work

Hamm moved to Los Angeles in 1996 and struggled as an unemployed actor.[11] He was represented by the Hollywood talent agency William Morris. Hamm settled into a house with four other struggling actors, received work as a waiter and started going to auditions. In 1998 William Morris dropped him as a client and Hamm continued working as a waiter.[4] While discussing being dropped by the agency, Hamm said:

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.[4]

In 2000, after being cast in several unsuccessful television pilots, Hamm landed a role as romantic firefighter Burt Ridley on NBC's drama series Providence, that led to a nineteen episode stint.[12][13] Originally, he was scheduled to appear in one episode, but the show's producers liked him so much that they brought him back for additional guest spots.[2][14] His role in Providence led him to quit his job waiting tables.[11] That same year he made his feature film debut in Clint Eastwood's space adventure Space Cowboys.[15] The film received favorable reviews,[16] and was a box office success, earning $128 million worldwide.[17] The following year, Hamm appeared in a supporting role in the independent comedy Kissing Jessica Stein (2001).[18] Shortly thereafter he played another supporting role in the war film We Were Soldiers (2002).[19][20] His career was further bolstered when he played Nate Basso, a police inspector, on Lifetime's television series The Division, in a recurring role that went from 2002 to 2004.[12][13] Hamm went on to feature in minor roles on the television series What About Brian, CSI: Miami, Related, Numb3rs, The Unit and The Sarah Silverman Program.[12][13]

Worldwide recognition

Hamm received his breakthrough role in 2007 when he was cast as the protagonist character Don Draper in AMC's drama series Mad Men. In the series, set in the 1960s fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency, he plays a suave advertising executive with a shadowy past.[21] 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."[22] He went through numerous auditions, and explained each time to the casting directors what he could bring to the character, if given the part.[4] 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.[23]

The show debuted on July 19, 2007, and was watched by almost 1.4 million viewers.[24] Mad Men quickly developed a loyal audience, with the show and Hamm receiving strong reviews. Robert Bianco of USA Today was complimentary of Hamm, noting that his interpretation of Draper was a "starmaking performance".[25] The Boston Globe's Matthew Gilbert called Hamm a "brilliant lead".[26] For his work, he won a Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Actor in a Television Series Drama in 2008.[27] Also in 2008 he was nominated for both a Screen Actors Guild for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor and an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor.[28] In 2009, Hamm was again nominated for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award in the same categories,[27][29] and received another Emmy nomination for Best Actor.[30] In 2010, Hamm received his third Golden Globe nomination.[31]

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.[32] Although the film received negative reviews,[33] it was financially successful, earning $230 million worldwide at the box office.[34] Hamm hosted the sixth episode of the 34th season of Saturday Night Live (SNL) on October 25, 2008.[35] He played various roles, including Don Draper in two sketches.[36] 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).[37][38] For these performances, he received an Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.[39]

Hamm's film projects after 2009 included the independent mystery thriller Stolen—his first leading role—in which he plays a man trying to find out what happened to his son who was kidnapped.[40][41] 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".[42] He had a voice role in the animated feature Shrek Forever After, released in May 2010, as an ogre leader named Brogan.[43] Hamm's next acting role will be in a supporting role as defense attorney Jake Ehrlich in the independent drama Howl, based on Allen Ginsberg's 1956 poem of the same name.[44][45] Hamm will appear as an FBI agent in the film The Town with Ben Affleck and Rebecca Hall.[46] He will also be appearing in Zack Snyder's 2011 film, Sucker Punch, as High Roller, a man who runs a brothel in the 1950s.[47] Away from film, Hamm will voice an FBI supervisor on Fox's animated series The Simpsons.[48]

Personal life

Since 1997, Hamm has been in a long-term relationship with actress and screenwriter Jennifer Westfeldt.[3] They own homes in Los Angeles and the Upper West Side in New York.[3][18] 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."[49] Hamm, along with Westfeldt, has appeared in Gap related campaign advertisements.[50] In April 2009, Hamm and Westfeldt formed their own production company, Points West Pictures.[51][52]

Although his role as Don Draper requires him to smoke, Hamm gave up smoking when he was 24.[53][54] He revealed in an interview that while on set he does not smoke actual cigarettes, but herbal cigarettes that do not contain any tobacco or nicotine.[54][55]

Internationally viewed as a sex symbol, Hamm was named one of Salon.com's Sexiest Man Living in 2007,[56] and was named one of People magazine's Sexiest Men Alive in 2008.[57] In November 2008, Entertainment Weekly named him one of their Entertainers of the Year.[58] Hamm is an avid golfer and tennis player.[59] He is an avid fan of the National Hockey League (NHL) team, the St. Louis Blues, even appearing in two television spots advertising for the team.[60] He is also a fan of the Major League Baseball (MLB) team, the St. Louis Cardinals.[61]

In March 2010, it was reported by The New York Times that Hamm was hired by Mercedes-Benz as their new voice over for their campaign with the S400 Hybrid vehicle. Hamm replaces actor Richard Thomas.[62]
