Other than sleeping with the director or producer, it is hard for an actor to get a breakout role off the cuff. You have to put in the dirty work. Enter Mad Men’s Jon Hamm. Watch the 25-year-old Hamm pay his acting dues on a dating show in 1996.
With bad hair too boot, Jon Hamm was one of the contestants on the show ‘The Big Date.‘ The then 25-year-old Hamm was a waiter and a far stretch from the suave ladies man as we have come to know him.
He didn’t even get picked… harsh.
