“I had a head of this television network tell my representatives, actually, that Jon Hamm will never be a television star,” said Hamm, who hasback in 2012, recalled that he was testing for his seventh network in a pilot season at the time of the executive’s prediction.
The actor, in his 2024 THR Emmy roundtable, recalled hearing about the comments “much later” and revealed that he auditioned “over and over and over again” for the executive and the network. “And for whatever reason didn’t get the part, and didn’t get the part, and didn’t get the part,” he said. “It would always come down to the last two, me and the guy who’s going to get it.
