'Mad Men' star Jon Hamm: I'm no Lothario
More News from Ruben V. Nepales
LOS ANGELES—"Mad Men" star Jon Hamm talked about his two new film projects in a recent interview.
Looking dapper as usual in a suit, Jon said he has more time off to make films because the TV series "Mad Men" is produced by a cable specialty channel, AMC, and not by the major networks.
"It's not as hard as it would be if we were running on a network schedule," said the actor who shot to fame playing advertising executive Don Draper in the drama series set in the 1960s.
He added: "I have seven months off and five months on. So I have a movie that I shot a long time ago. I just did some looping on it. It's directed by Ari Folman who did 'Waltz with Bashir.' He's adapting a science fiction novel ('The Futurological Congress') from the '50s. It's a very interesting movie with Robin Wright. That film is still being animated and pieced together. But they hope to have that come out in Cannes next year."
Aside from Jon and Robin, "The Congress," which combines live-action and animation, also stars Paul Giamatti and Harvey Keitel. The film is Ari's follow-up to his acclaimed "Waltz…" which screened in Cannes in 2008.
Jon likewise announced: "I'm also going to start working on a film with Larry David that we're going to shoot in the East Coast. It will be very improvised and very Larry David-y."
Jon plays a villain in the HBO feature film written by Larry—the comedy genius behind the TV series "Curb Your Enthusiasm"—who is also in the cast along with Michael Keaton.
Witty girlfriend
Speaking of HBO, Jon disclosed that his girlfriend, actress and screenwriter Jennifer Westfeldt, is working on a pilot project for the top cable TV network. "They haven't cast it," he said. "That pilot will be produced by our company (Points West Pictures). But we're not working together on it. She's writing it and will star in it if, in fact, it goes through."
Jon said that their production company, which they formed in 2009, "is very active on finding and developing material. Jen is obviously an incredibly diligent, hardworking, multitalented filmmaker. She can write, which I cannot do. It takes me four hours to figure out how to write an e-mail. I can text. That's pretty much about it. I can't sit and stare at a blinking cursor for longer than 30 seconds or I have to walk out of the room."
On marriage
Asked for his opinion on marriage, Jon, 40, said: "It's a strange thing that people want to, for some reason, put a relationship into one box or another. Jen and I have been together, going on 15 years now which is longer than most people that I know have been married. It's as challenging as a marriage is. We share two houses, a dog and bank accounts. We have every other kind of arrangement that a marriage would have."
At present, he added, they don't feel the need to get married. "At some point down the line in the future, when we feel it is a necessity that needs to be addressed, we have a lot of great places that we could maybe go [to] do that."
On his "Mad Men" character's noted seducing skills, Jon quipped: "That's probably a better question for Jen. She did a pretty good job of it … Jen has intelligence and wit. Honestly. She's got that times a million and it's in a nice package as well."
The Missouri native claimed that he's the opposite of Don. "It takes a while for people to realize that I'm not the person that I play on TV," he stressed.
Awkward, shy
"But within five seconds of meeting me, people are usually disabused of that notion. I'm awkward, relatively shy and not very much like Don. When you're put in the category of a sexy guy, you can either play it up and really be that guy or you can play against it. I have chosen to play against it because that's way closer to really who I am. I'm not this Lothario, this lady-killer. It's way easier to do that when the words are written not only for you but also for the other person to say back to you. It's a lot easier to do that."
He jested, "You don't get sued as much."
Told that Matthew Weiner, creator of "Mad Men," said in an earlier interview that he (Jon) is better at keeping the show's plot secrets, Jon explained: "Matt's trouble with keeping secrets is that the easiest way to get him to tell you any secrets at all is simply to ask him. He doesn't quite get that you have an opportunity to not talk. For his 40th birthday, I bought him a gift packet of business cards that just said, 'Stop talking.'"
On his knowledge about "Mad Men's" plot developments, Jon said: "Matt is playing that up a little bit. I don't know everything. But I probably know more than most. Part of it is, I feel like, why ruin the surprise? Matt says it at every table read because we have 10 or 12 guest stars who come in. He says, 'Please don't tell anybody what you're going to hear today. Because it ruins the surprise.' And I think Matt is very cagey and knows how to hold an audience as well. It's harder especially nowadays when everything is instantly available globally."
But Jon obliged, when requested to give an update on some of the major characters in the show's current season:
"We do see, from the beginning, that the company has stabilized. It's not in the precarious position it was in the previous season. And that affects the characters differently.
"For Don, he's in love. He's seemingly very happy. He's not really paying much attention to work. He would much rather be with his wife. You know, lock the door and take her clothes off. Like, why not? His priorities are a little out of whack.
"Whereas you can trust someone like Pete (played by Vincent Kartheiser). He is constantly pressing everybody to work harder and make more for the company.
"Peggy's (Elisabeth Moss) version of getting more responsibility and having a bigger footprint creatively at the firm is contrasted with her still not having the respect that she deserves. She can't work on Jaguar. She can't quite close the Heinz account. She's in this nebulous place. She's continually being taken for granted by Don whom she looks up to tremendously. She feels that it's time to spread her wings."

The tragic murder of Kasandra Perkins at the hands of her boyfriend and professional football player Jovan Belcher was more than preventable, it was the product of a culture that refuses to treat domestic violence as the public health emergency that it is, choosing instead to coddle and fetishize a gun culture that makes such deaths commonplace. Don't believe me? Consider the facts:
The number one cause of death for African American women like Kasandra Perkins is homicide at the hands of a partner. Family and intimate assaults involving a firearm were 12 times more likely to result in death than non-firearm associated assaults between family and intimates.
• More than 12 times as many females were murdered by a male they knew (1,689 victims) than were killed by male strangers (137 victims).
• Almost a thousand female victims were wives or intimate acquaintances of their killers.
• More female homicides were committed with firearms (52 percent) than with all other weapons combined. Of these, three quarters were committed with handguns.
And while we've lost 6,614 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, during the same period of time 11,766 women were killed as the result of domestic violence in this country.
Those are the facts.
Yet despite these facts, here's the narrative of Perkins' murder as it unfolded over the weekend and through today. Belcher, who shot the mother of his child in their home, with their daughter present and in the next room was a "happy, proud, father," a "family guy" who was clearly pushed to the edge by Perkins who one outlet described as a "catalyst" in her own murder.
Then came the explaining. Belcher must have a head injury, a concussion, some kind of diagnosis that would explain why this lovable family man pumped nine gun shots into the body of a woman he claimed to love. I'm not the first to point this out, but funny how that concussion, or whatever injury didn't result in Belcher shooting and killing his own mother who was in the next room when he murdered Perkins. Funny how Belcher managed to not turn the gun on his coaches or the security guard at the stadium before he killed himself.
It couldn't be that Belcher was an abuser and easy access to guns is the reason he killed Perkins. Of course not. And when, during halftime of NBC's Sunday night football game just after the murder-suicide, NFL commentator Bob Costas endorsed part of a column written by sportswriter Jason Whitlock that rightly blamed gun culture for both Perkins' and Belcher's deaths, predictably the right went nuts.
Costas said: " 'Our current gun culture," Whitlock wrote, 'ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience-store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead.' " Costas later added: " 'But here,' wrote Jason Whitlock, 'is what I believe: If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.' "
Media Matters for America has this synopsis:
Fox News' Fox & Friends repeatedly questioned whether it was "appropriate" for Costas to be "lecturing America on gun control." Other right-wing sites including the Drudge Report, Fox Nation, and the Washington Free Beacon also attacked Costas, railing against what they described as Costas' "gun control rant."
For the right, there is never an "appropriate" time to talk about gun violence or domestic violence, a reality the National Football League must be counting on given that this year alone of the 32 teams in the NFL, 21 have had at least one player who's been charged with either domestic violence or sexual assault.
Like the NFL, the National Rifle Association has its own agenda its pushing at the expense of women's lives. "Up until the moment Javon Belcher executed Kasandra Perkins in front of her mother with a handgun, he was precisely the type of 'law-abiding gun owner' that the National Rifle Association loves to portray as infallible." said Ladd Everitt, Director of Communications for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. "Had anyone questioned Belcher's mental state – about which we will certainly learn more in the days to come – the NRA would have been the first to tell us that Belcher's guns were none of our business and certain to make both him and those around him safer."
The reality is gun culture depends on, and is built upon, open misogyny. It's what fueled the immediate victim-blaming of Perkins, the eulogizing of Belcher, and the reason the single-greatest threat young African-American women face is death at the hands of a partner.
Was Perkins' death preventable? Absolutely. Will this country get serious about preventing another senseless homicide thanks to easy access to guns? That's a much more difficult question. "Americans frequently struggle with mental health issues and when they do, firearms are readily available" said Everitt. "Only an involuntarily commitment or adjudication by a court as a 'mental defective' prohibits one from buying a gun based on mental health background. What percentage of severely mentally ill Americans fall into either of these two narrow categories?"
Clearly not Belcher, which is exactly how the NRA and other domestic violence apologists intend it to be.

Karl M & John H- absolutely. Not sure how the NRA has anything to do w/someone going off like that. I guess they were responsible for the stabbing to death of Kitty Genovese in the late 60's?
Everyone likes to blame the gun instead of the psychopath.
Do we call for beer to be outlawed when a drunk driver kills someone? No, we blame the driver, the person who used the alcohol irresponsibly.
Also notice that no one ever mentions the pharm industry as being a potential cause of these problems.... notice that most of these crazies that go on shooting sprees are taking a bunch of medication that we don't know the long term effects of. When I see commercials for these drugs and they mention increased suicide risk amongst other wild mental side effects, I really have to wonder if these drugs are needed by anyone. Anxiety and depression are very real illnesses, but I think the drugs they are using to treat the issues are doing more harm than good.
Stop blaming guns and start blaming the people that are committing the crimes. If you want to blame someone other than the individual, then start looking at what drugs they are on and who got them taking the drugs in the first place.
annmariL just speak for your self just because you do not want to defend your self and become a victim does not mean every one else must be like you. and yes the gun banners have put a label on certain rifles that are still civilian copys of military rifes does not mean they should be banned. lots of people use them for target shooting and possible self defence in areas where gangs are active so don/t talk with a bias and with something you know little of. the most corrupt states ban guns the most that says it all
John D.: When you learn to spell, I might be able to make something out of your rants.
The rest of you gun crazies: There are more people shot by mistake than by criminal acts. Fathers shoot their kids when they arrive home late, children get their hands on loades guns at home and kills their siblings, people are careless handling their weapons ) Like the father that "mistakenly) killed his son in the car just a couple of weeks ago.
NRA and their friends fight with any means possible (blatant lies and stupid analogies) to keep arming the public. Having checks done of gun buyers is good, but what about all these people that haven't committed a crime yet, but will? It's too easy to get your hands on a firearm. Why on Earth is it a right to buy assault rifles? You can't hunt with them and what sport is it to hit a target at a gun range with a weapon like that? They are made for one thing only and that is to kill. Noone in their right mind would buy such a weapon and use for self defence. Stop defending this crazy mentality of the Wild West and misinterpret the Second Amendment!
god bless the NRA. its the common person that needs them more than ever the wealthy will have their body guards gated villages. big fancy cars with tinted windows they are sheltered from the real world they are not likely to be exsposed to criminals. or unstable persons they can even get a gun no matter where with their high paid lawyers. all the crazy shootershad one thing in common they were on powerfull pharacuical drugs give to the doctors. then then blame the guns its all in the plan for the invisible goverment to have complete control of the people. they bring in GMO foods give harmfull drugs that shorten life it all goes together.and the stupid average joe six pack can not see this.most of the same crooked politicians that want to restrict and ban guns are the same crooks that vote to ban supplements hide labeling of GMO/s and force vaccinations on people guys like chuck shumer bob menendez lautenberg. the most corrupt states like NJ NY ILL MASS are first to ban guns. you put Low income people in the getto vaccinate them sell them LOts of alcohol and drugs and then you wonder why they shoot each other up all the while disarming the law abideing person seems like something they do in NJ and NY
Thank you for sharing.
I have three words for the NRA. Go to Hell!
This was not the gun's fault. It happened because these guys have come up with everyone has made them feel as though they are entitled and can do anything they want.

There is nothing in firm evidence to prove that Shavers had more power than any other heavyweight, and plenty to say that he was overrated beyond all reasonable amount. At no point did he produce a single one punch knockout in the manner of Tua v Wilson, Wlad v Chambers or even Foreman v Moorer. Ellis was the closest he ever got, and that's simply not enough to justify his rep.
Muhammad Ali knocked out better fighters than Shavers. Does that make him a harder puncher?
Shavers lacked the "body" of other hard punchers because he also lacked the skills. There are so many more factors to a knockout than just pure power. Shavers is rightfully never mentioned among punchers, he's mentioned among the hardest punchers.
There's a huge difference between a good puncher and a hard one. History shows that good punchers get more knockouts over top competition than purely hard punchers.

Ryan and Jimmy: And the Well in Africa That Brought Them Together (CitizenKid)
Title: Ryan and Jimmy: And the Well in Africa That Brought Them Together (CitizenKid)
Author: Herb Shoveller
KDL Description:
Tells how Ryan Hreljac, the young Canadian boy who at the age of six was determined to provide clean water for an African village, became pen pals with Akana Jimmy, a young orphan in Uganda, how Jimmy came to join Ryan's family in Canada, and the continuing achievements of Ryan's Well Foundation.
Amazon Description:
It costs a lot of money to build a well in Africa—a lot more than Ryan Hreljac had thought. Still, the six year old kept doing chores around his parents' house, even after he learned it could take him years to earn enough money. Then a friend of the family wrote an article in the local newspaper about Ryan's wish to build a well to supply people with safe, clean water. Before long, ripples of goodwill began spreading. People started sending money to help pay for Ryan's well. Ryan was interviewed on television. His dream of a well became an international news story. In Agweo, Uganda, villagers were used to walking a long way every day in search of water. What they found was often brown and smelly and made a lot of people sick. But when Ryan's well was built, life in the village changed for the better. A young orphan named Akana Jimmy longed for a chance to thank Ryan in person for this gift of life—clean water. When they finally meet, an unbreakable bond unites these boys from very different backgrounds, and a long and sometimes life-threatening journey begins. Ryan and Jimmy is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.
