5 Actors Who Were Almost on Mad Men

On Marc Maron's podcast, Hamm revealed that he almost lost out on Don Draper had Thomas Jane taken the role first. Hamm knew his unknown status was working against him: "Nobody knew who I was. The casting directors didn't know who I was. I wasn't on anybody's lists. The funny thing was, I think they went to Thomas Jane for it, and they were told that Thomas Jane does not do television." Jane would go on to star in HBO series Hung.
