Jon Hamm Interview for The Town – Celebrity Interviews
Jon Hamm
“Still A Mad, Mad Man”
The role has garnered Hamm three Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe Award win for Best TV Drama Actor. After success in the hit remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still and a memorable, Emmy-nominated guest stint on the NBC comedy 30 Rock as Liz Lemon’s neighbor and love interest Drew Baird, the 39 year-old actor hopes to parlay his TV acclaim firmly into film with a role as Adam Frawley, an FBI agent pursuing a group of bank robbers, in the crime thriller The Town.
He talks about how he chooses his film roles, now that he’s established himself as a TV star.
“I don’t have any sort of calculus to choosing film roles,” Hamm believes, “I just responded to the story of this and really wanted to play the character. I read a very, very, very early version of this script when another director and another package was attached to it and didn’t necessarily respond to the story then.”
“Once Ben signed on, then I became much more interested as a fan of his first film and a massive fan of this one,” he adds, “No, I just try to pick parts that somehow inspire me creatively and I want to work with people whose work I respect and admire and in both of those cases, both of those boxes were checked for this project.”
Hamm succinctly described for us the experience of working with second-time director and co-star Ben Affleck
“I mostly take notes with whatever Ben says,” Jon states.
Jon also commented on a question posed to fellow TV-based co-star Blake Lively, who is best known for playing Serena van der Woodsen on the hit CW TV drama Gossip Girl about whether she was betting with show co-star Penn Badgeley. This being that Badgeley also has a film role in The Town’scompeting film coming out, the teen comedy Easy A about who’s film will be more successful.
“I have a bet with Penn Badgeley on who’s movies will open… Read the complete interview and see a lot of Jon Hamm pics here Celebrity Interviews
