Chris O'Dowd: from The It Crowd to Hollywood
18 May 2012 4:09 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Comic hit in The It Crowd and leading man in Bridesmaids, Chris O'Dowd is now pushing at an open door in Hollywood
In January 2009, Chris O'Dowd bought a one-way ticket to Los Angeles. By this point, he was best known for his role in the Channel 4 sitcom The It Crowd, written by Graham Linehan (Father Ted, Black Books), and had acted in a few British films of varying quality – the 2005 black comedy Festival, Richard Curtis's The Boat That Rocked, the as yet unreleased Hippie Hippie Shake, co-starring Sienna Miller. It looked increasingly as though O'Dowd might be yet another good actor destined to drift along in roles of middling quality. He'd also just come out of an eight-year relationship. And so he took a risk. He didn't have any "highfalutin ideas", he recalls. But, hey, why not?
The road to Hollywood may be littered with the dashed hopes of actors from overseas, »

'Mad Men's' Jon Hamm rocks a beard (again)
18 April 2012 10:51 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
This isn't the first time Jon Hamm has rocked a beard, but the "Mad Men" star is sporting a full bushy beard that was on display Tuesday (April 17) at the Can-Do Awards Gala in New York. With girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt by his side, the fuzzy-faced Hamm -- who was also sporting shaggier hair -- posed on the red carpet to show off his newest look.
Hamm also grew in his beard in May 2011 and in 2009-2010. Since it keeps returning, Hamm must be a fan -- either that or he's willing to do as much as he can to distance himself from his clean-cut "Mad Men" character Don Draper.
What do you think? Are you a fan of bearded Hamm or do you prefer the clean close shave version? »

Jon Hamm Finds On Screen Smoking Debilitating - Mad Men Stays True to Era
29 March 2012 9:57 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Jon Hamm admits his on-screen smoking is "debilitating". The 41-year-old 'Mad Men' actor has to plow his way through a raft of herbal cigarettes in his role as advertising executive Don Draper, and says the smoke takes its toll. He said: "Someone actually watched the pilot and counted the number of cigarettes I smoked in that episode and it was something like 74. "You can hear it in my voice, it is a debilitating endeavor. But we're being realistic - people did smoke back then. My father smoked everywhere, even in the car, in the summertime, with the windows up - it was part of life. "I have read that watching the show makes some people at home want to smoke and drink. I think, well, knock yourself out." The former school teacher - who has been dating actress Jennifer Westfeldt for 15 years - also confesses that like most performers, »
Hamm Was Wary Of Mad Men Title
29 March 2012 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Jon Hamm was wary of auditioning for a role in Mad Men - because he thought the title of the show was dreadful.
The star was unimpressed when he saw the premise for American cable network AMC's drama, but soon changed his mind when he read the script.
And he vowed to longterm partner Jennifer Westfeldt he'd do anything to land the now-iconic role of advertising executive Don Draper.
Hamm tells Britain's Esquire magazine, "I remember picking it up (and thinking) Mad Men: s**tty title. AMC: network no-one's ever heard of. Two strikes. Then I read it...
"I said to her, 'This is the best pilot I've ever read in my life'. She's going, 'What? That's never the response to a pilot. Sometimes, at best, you're like, 'Hey! It's not terrible!' And I just thought, 'I have to be in this show'. And thus began the long, winding road to getting cast." »
Why Are We Mad For Don Draper?

Time to put the ashtray on the table, shake up the ice-dispenser and straighten the magazines.
Mad MenSeason 5 is nearly here.
The UK premiere hits our screens tonight on Sky Atlantic, with a level of hype and anticipation unusual for a series that was bumped around the schedule and didn't exactly threaten Downton Abbey for ratings when it first turned up.
So, while higher-minded critics than this debate the morals of the piece, the style of the show and its place in pre-Kennedy-assassination American idealism, we shall content ourselves with a quick look at the enduring totem that is Don Draper, and why, despite his affairs, his crimes and general skullduggery, we can't wait to see him again in all his starch-pressed coolness. There are obviously a million reasons - here are just five...

However, the 41-year-old admitted having a soft spot for his co-star January Jones' six-month-old son Xander.
"Xander is cute as a button!" he said.

Hamm Was Asked To Father Friend's Baby
23 March 2012 5:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Jon Hamm was once asked to father a child by a friend who was desperate to have a baby.
The Mad Men star admits he turned down the request because he was unemployed and broke at the time, even though his pal told him he wouldn't have to be a part of the youngster's upbringing.
Hamm tells Fox411, "I have actually been asked to be a father by a friend who wanted to have a kid. It was kind of weird and out-of-nowhere and I said no. Mainly because I was totally unemployed, and I would feel so responsible, even though they said, 'Don't worry, no strings attached.'"
Hamm has been in a relationship with his partner Jennifer Westfeldt for 15 years and insists he has no plans to start a family of his own. »
Jon Hamm Finds Girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt Truly Inspiring
22 March 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Jon Hamm has a "thing for strong women". The 'Mad Men' star has been in a relationship with actress and screenwriter Jennifer Westfeldt since 1997 and he admits he continues to be "inspired" by her even after 15 years together. He said: "She's a truly inspiring and talented and amazing woman. I have this thing for strong women, you see." Jon is best known for the role of handsome Don Draper in 1960s-set 'Mad Men', and he admits he may have been ''pigeonholed'' since taking on the part as he often gets offered similar characters and scripts. He told The Guardian newspaper: "I get 60 or so scripts about sharp-suited, ad-men in the 60s, sure. But I'm never going to do that again. "This is something that very well could have been a pilot, nothing more. The reason I pursued it was that I was fascinated by this character »
Movie Review: Adam Scott, Jennifer Westfeldt and Jon Hamm are all 'Friends with Kids'

I don't see movies in the theater much anymore, but ever since I heard about "Friends with Kids" — the directorial debut of "Kissing Jessica Stein" writer/star Jennifer Westfeldt, also starring Adam Scott from "Parks and Recreation" and a good chunk of the "Bridesmaids" cast (Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Chris O'Dowd and some guy named Jon Hamm who apparently has a TV show returning this weekend) — I made a mental note to get a sitter and take my wife to see it. We had some childcare mishaps over the weekend, which felt appropriate to the movie's subject, but finally got »
