Jon Hamm has captivated audiences with his versatile performances across television and film. In celebration of his latest role in the Apple TV+ series “Your Friends & Neighbors,” here are our five favorite roles of his.
Don Draper in Mad Men
No Jon Hamm list is complete without his defining role as Don Draper. In Mad Men, Hamm brought the enigmatic advertising executive to life with emotional depth and steely charisma. The performance earned him critical acclaim, a Golden Globe, and a permanent place in TV history. We love him for the same reason everyone love Tony Soprano. We all know he is a damaged, flawed person and we see ourselves in him.
Monty Miller in Landman
In Landman, Jon Hamm delivers a phenomenal performance as Monty Miller, a powerful oil executive caught in the crossfire of greed, ambition, and deep-rooted family tensions in West Texas. His character was gritty, emotionally complex, and central to the story—making his sudden death feel both jarring and senseless. Hamm’s portrayal was nothing short of brilliant, and his presence was a vital part of what made the show so compelling.
