If you’re watching the final half of the final season of Mad Men, you know that Paul Johansson’s character, the sleazy Ferg Donnelly, sort of encompasses everything awful about the McCann-Erickson world that Roger, Don, Joan, Pete and Peggy now have to live in. On Thursday, we spoke to Johansson about the show and his character, who he playfully defended, in a delightful, wide-ranging conversation that also touched on the Mad Men casting process, Matt Weiner’s obsession with secrecy, his days as a Canadian basketball star, modern technology, and hyper-Americanism, among other things.
