Jon Hamms’ your friends and neighbors asks: When is enough enough?

play

Let’s be honest. It’s good to be Jon Hamm.

For the beginning, the guy bumps like a modern Cary Grant: it looks good and able to switch on the drama and comedy with the same ease.

In addition to his impressive film and TV creation, he now orders eyeballs as “Landman” as a four-time moderator of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend and starts his latest streaming series, Apple TV+’, “Your Friends & Addbors” (first two episodes that now stream on Friday, starts his last streaming series.

Compliments the guy, safe. But just don’t call him happy.

“I love what i do, and yes, I’m fortunate to get to pick and chose what i do, but i’ve Earned it, and i that with that without any slame,” Says Hamm, 54, whose performance as ad man Don draper 2007-15 Series “Mad Men” Shot Him to Stardom, where he was. Through Standout Roles in Movies Such as “Bridesmaids” and “Baby Driver” and TV Shows Including FX’s “Fargo” and Apple’s “The Morgenshow.”

This time he is back with a vintage hamm, which connects its ability to convey both ceremony and humor as Andrew “Coop” Cooper, a recently divorced hedge fund manager and father of two children, who loses his job and decides the easiest way to support his expensive lifestyle, is to rob his Tony friends and neighbors. The series also plays a convincing Amanda Peet as an ex-wife of Coop, Mel, and a convincing Olivia Munn as his tortured lover Samantha.

With a remarkable lightness, Coop repeatedly creates into the mega cabins of his suburb in New York and stood with wildly expensive pockets, wines and watches, whose absences are usually unnoticed in view of the excess.

“One of the slogans for the show on an advertising table just said: ‘You don’t know what you miss,” says Hamm, before Hamm giggles. “As a former fictional advertising man, I really enjoyed this slogan.”

Hamm hopes that ‘your friends and neighbors’ ‘Mad Men’ will repeat magic

Speaking of “Mad Men”, which ended a decade ago, says Hamm, he not only appreciates how the show made it a well -known name, but also how the audience fascinated it in the past with a modern show in the past. He hopes that “your friends and neighbors” can also grasp today’s zeitgeist today.

“‘Mad Men’ was a show that had entered culture, and although a lot of happiness and real place/real time.

Theft is not exactly an honorable thing, but for Coop the deed is less a crime and rather a way to show, as not the ultra-rich can no longer be if you do not know if you don’t know if a watch is missing for $ 350,000.

“This is an absurd amount of money for most people, but for a very isolated group of people it is not even worth thinking about it,” he says, shaking his head.

The actor holds his next words before he offers his measured social comment. “We are in a strange moment in our collective culture with capitalism in late stage and frantic materialism and so many billionaires, um, interesting things with their money, which apparently could be better chosen to make the whole world a better place instead of just buying a bigger boat or going more into the room.”

Almost the Gordon Gekko “Greed is good” from the 1980s look picturesque?

Hamm laughs. “Yes, (convicted junk bond king) Michael Milken is now almost a non -profit figure.”

Hamm says this rich entertainment age is “a great time to be an audience”.

There is one aspect of our current age that makes Hamm positively delighted: the selection of entertainment selection for actors and spectators alike.

“It does not matter whether the project comes from a studio or a streamer when the script has something convincing. Look, Julia Roberts appeared on TV, Sean Penn and Harrison Ford are on TV and Nicole Kidman is further, everything. The line is not even blurred, the line is just gone.”

Hamm adds that as an actor and producer, he is soil from the depth and width of the storytelling. “I have just seen the (Netflix) show ‘adolescence’ and Wow, what an enormous performance, not only the story, but also filmmaking. And look at shows like ‘Baby Renteer’: There is just so much to get the pike from so many sources.

In view of this comment, one could think that Hamm would agree that today’s tariff is far above everything that Hamm was in front of a television in front of a television in St. Louis, Missouri. And then they would be put down immediately and politely, as well as Hamm’s way.

“No, no, I would say it wasn’t worse, it was just different,” says Hamm, before he on the riffing of his favorite shows from the 70s and 80s. “I liked ‘Welcome Back, Kotter’ and I liked ‘Fish’ and ‘Barney Miller’. I loved ‘Three’s Company’ and ‘The Love Boat’. There are good things in all of our periods, although some were better than others.”

Is there an old show for which Hamm will not criticize? It turns out that it is there.

“I’ll tell you what, ‘Miami Vice’ still holds up,” he booms with a smile.

Here is root for a hem-led restart of Miami Vice. Don Draper, meet Sonny Crockett.
