Kevin Rahm Talks ‘Mad Men’

6 May 2013 10:21 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

**Spoilers from Sunday’s episode follow.**

Ted Chaough has been infatuated with two characters on “Mad Men” — Peggy Olson and Don Draper — and Sunday, in a sense, he kissed them both.

The actor who plays Chaough, Kevin Rahm, has spent more than a decade in TV and is in his third season appearing on AMC’s “Mad Men,” but in a very real way, the bigtime really hit with Sunday’s season-six sixth segment, “For Immediate Release.”

“I was elated,” Rahm told Variety on Monday. “When they offered me the chance to join the cast on a more regular basis, Matt (showrunner Matt Weiner) said that some good things were coming. Lizzy (Elisabeth Moss, who plays Peggy) had read the script before me, and she said, ‘I can’t wait for you to read episode six — you’re going to be so excited about the great thing that happens.’ “

Guess Who?

Long before they were co-workers at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, "Mad Men" stars Jay R. Ferguson (Stan Rizzo) and Vincent Kartheiser (Pete Campbell) were teen heartthrobs in the '90s.

As Pajiba recently pointed out, native Texan Ferguson was plucked out of obscurity to play the role of Ponyboy Curtis in the TV adaptation of the feature film "The Outsiders" in 1989. He moved out to Los Angeles at the age of 14 for the part and has been working pretty steadily since.

Here he is in 1990:

And another picture of young Ferguson with David Arquette, who played Two-Bit in "The Outsiders," at the Earthwalk Benefit in 1990:

Ferguson was quite the teen magazine regular:

After "The Outisders" was cancelled 13 episodes in, Ferguson was cast in the Burt Reynolds-fronted sitcom "Evening Shade." He starred on the CBS comedy as Reynolds' character's eldest son throughout the show's four-season run. »

Allan Arbus obituary

Character actor who played the psychiatrist Major Sidney Freedman in the TV comedy M*A*S*H

The long-running Us television comedy M*A*S*H, set during the Korean war, was often perceived as an allegorical look at the Vietnam war, which was still being fought when it began in 1972. But the television show focused less on the specific mindsets of Vietnam which had driven the nihilistic Robert Altman film on which it was based, and in tone was much closer to Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22, with its comedic take on the intrinsic absurdity of war.

No character brought that home more clearly than Major Sidney Freedman, the psychiatrist who appeared in 12 episodes over the show's 11-year run. Freedman was played by Allan Arbus, who has died aged 95. His approach to the mental health of the soldiers, and medics, at the 4077th mobile army surgical hospital unit relied »

Allan Arbus, who ran a photography business with his wife Diane Arbus before becoming an actor who starred in “Mash,” died April 19 in Los Angeles. He was 95. His daughter Amy (pictured above) confirmed his death to the New York Times.

Born in New York City, he left college to work at Russek’s Department Store, where he met Diane Nemerov, whose parents owned the store. The couple married and shot fashion photographs before Arbus served as a photographer in the Army Signal Corps in Burma during WWII. After the war, they began shooting for magazines including Glamour and Vogue, »

Barbara Hall Joining Homeland as Co-Executive Producer

22 February 2013 8:15 AM, PST | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »

Homeland showrunner Alex Gansa has picked the woman (hopefully she won't be the only woman) to replace Meredith Stiehm who last year was the lone woman writer on staff. Stiehm left to work on her new FX series, The Bridge. Barbara Hall, who has worked on Judging Amy, Army Wives and was also the creator of Joan of Arcadia, will be joining the Homeland staff as a co-executive producer. She’s signed a two year contract. Hall is also currently developing a script for CBS, and if that gets picked up for the 2014-15 season, Hall would leave Homeland to work as showrunner for the new project.  So it would be smart for Homeland to hire more than one woman so they won't be in  a position of again having no women writers on a show that clearly needs a woman's voice as part of the writing team.

How are you feeling at the end of 'Private Practice'?
