Jon Hamm will be pulling double duty when "Mad Men" goes back into production in August.
The actor, who stars as the hard-drinking advertising whiz Don Draper, will direct the Emmy-winning drama's fifth season premiere, TVLine reports.
"The wheels have officially been set in motion to make that happen," Hamm says. "It's a very exciting challenge that I'm looking forward to with a mixture of utter fear and excitement."
Well, perhaps not too much fear. Hamm claims he gained confidence after observing his co-star John Slattery direct an earlier episode.
"I figured if he can do it, s—--, I can do it too."
Season 5 will premiere in March 2012.
