Salvatore is my favorite character. I hope his role is expanded in season two.

I love Sal (Bryan Batt) too. It would be great to expand his role in this next season. I would love to see he and Elliot(Paul Keeley) meet again. I think it would be interesting to see where that relationship could go. To explore how one lived as a gay man in that time period. Especially to explore two men in a relationship during that time. The difficulties and the joy of living ones life truthfully. We have already seen portrayals of gay men who have to sneak around to meet other men on TV and Film. Men who seem to lead very sad and lonely lives. Lets see something different this time. The secrecy and shame that gay men in the 60's experienced is a tragedy, and my hope is the writers and producers will not keep him in the closet, but allow for him to come out. The confidence and sensitivity that Elliot's character brought to the show could help Sal to come to terms with his sexuality.

Thanks, Mr. Batt, for the insights -- and for your work on this lovely show.

Regarding the scenes Mr. Batt mentions in the Hobo Code episode, between Salvatore and Elliott: that may have been the best writing in all of Season 1. Everything was tamped down, sub-rosa: it was this beautiful dialogue, in a completely different kind of "code".

Until Elliott invited Salvatore back to his hotel. Then the kid gloves came off -- so to speak.

Thanks to the writers, and to the actors, for this terrific episode. It offered a window into a way of life that I had never seen ... but men I know from that generation tell me it hit all the right bittersweet notes.

Can't wait for Season 2. Thanks again, Mr. Batt!

I loved the episode Hobo Code and the writers twist on Sal and Elliot's secret gay code language. I agree with Mark above about the secrecy and shame that gay men in the 60's experienced. It was a tragedy, and my hope is the writers and producers WILL keep him in the closet. We can't brush over history and pretend being gay in 1960 was something to shout out in the streets with glee and not suffer any consequences. As much as we all think we are a progressive society, ask a gay man today and he will tell you about the great deal of homophobia and discrimination that still exists. I say, "hold true to the era MM writers, that's what keeps us tuned in!". Let's experience some reality TV, but not 2008 reality TV but 1960's reality TV. Keep hitting those bittersweet notes and keep it real. You're doing an great job!!

From the premiere episode, I was intrigued by Mr. Batt's character. I do enjoy how Salvatore gets some of the best lines, but he wasn't given nearly enough exposure in Season One. The Hobo Code episode was, admittedly, a standout. My favorite part is Sal's stunned reaction to Elliot's blatant gesture of sipping from Sal's glass ... INCREDIBLE! It was then that Sal realized how deep the waters were. Flirtation was titillating, but he grew extremely uncomfortable with such dangerous public behavior. Nevertheless, I ache for Sal. I'd adore to see him in a happy, satisfying romance, but such was rare in those days. And for someone leading a professional career ... no way would an openly gay man be accepted in the (outwardly anyway) uberstraight ad game. One of many ugly historical examples of the dangers of ignorance and intolerance. Don't even go to how women were treated!

SEMI SPOILER WARNING:
The Season 2 premiere shocked me to my core. All I'll say is ... "it's a sham!" There is so much we'll all need to "catch up on" via flashbacks this season. Much love and appreciation to the producers, writers and of course, actors for the ongoing history lesson packaged in quite shiny, addictive entertainment! Particular kudos to Mr. Bryan Batt. Epitome. Of. Class.

I really enjoyed this interview with Bryan, I remember him in Jeffrey- his character was very memorable. I like MadMen, and hope AMC will start repeating the first season as other cable shows do. The Hobo episode was well done, and I applaud the writers and others for how they handled that situation. After all it was 1960. I would love to see Bryan's character have an on-going relationship with a married executive and/or a person of color from the mailroom or lower echelon of the company. Thanks

I used to enjoy the show...I think you just lost middle America with the over the top gay scene. I'm also selling my BMW

Bryan is definitely a great actor on the show. I am such a big fan of the show. He is definitely my favorite on the show. It seems like the show gets better each week. reverse number lookup

I'll agree a little that the gay scene was a bit over the top (a bit "oh look, gay because we can!" rather than genuine), but I appreciate the inclusion of his character, for sure. And I think he plays it very well.

GREAT, great article. He is doing very well for himself, and hopefully, he can get better! I also agree though- they gay scene was a little bit crazy!

I read yesterday and I had NO idea Bryan Batt was gay. Shows how much I keep in the loop.

What really got me in the scene where Sal is acting out the Bye-Bye Birdie scene and you can scene the realization slow wash over his wife's face (Kitty I think her name was?) and the scene where she threw the Ginault in the bin? haha hilarious.
