Jon Hamm is "Mad Men's" Don Draper, but it could have worked out differently. Thomas Jane ("Hung") almost played the ad-executive, Hamm admitted as a guest on Marc Maron's WTF podcast.
As Hamm tells it, Jane's decision made sense at the time. "It was on a network that no one had heard of for scripted television, they went there to watch reruns of 'Diehard,' or whatever. And it's a very think-y show, which is all not necessarily high up on our current cultural needs," Hamm said in the podcast.
