Mad Men Lands in Playboy and Best Life

The men of Mad Men are getting attention from all corners, including the Playboy Mansion. Vincent Kartheiser, Rich Sommer, Bryan Batt, Aaron Staton and Michael Gladis -- along with some Playboy Bunnies -- appear in a Playboy Magazine feature that highlights the drama's "vintage cool." Jon Hamm gets the cover boy treatment from Best Life Magazine, plus a nine-page spread that describes Hamm as having a "quiet, athletic, good-looking confidence" In the article, Matthew Weiner compares Hamm to Gregory Peck, saying he "has an old-fashioned leading-man quality."
The Boston Globe profiles hometown boy John Slattery, who was about to go surfing when he heard about his Emmy nomination. He says of the series, "I feel like I'm involved in something that I'm really behind and it turns out that I'm not the only one who likes it."
Colin Hanks, first seen in the episode "Three Sundays," plays Father Gill "with just the right mixture of yearning and humility," according to the New York Post. Hanks lobbied Weiner for a year to get a role and finally getting a part, as a priest, was "a bit of a shock," Hanks explains. "I wanted to look dapper in a great suit."
"He is so far in the closet," Bryan Batt says of Salvatore Romano in an interview with New York's CW 11 morning news. Batt discusses how the men's suits on the show are "very form-fitting," just as "everything was closed-in" during that era. The Associated Press talks to Kartheiser and Elisabeth Moss in a joint interview about the "splendid" drama where "no sweeping term, such as 'likability' does justice to the series' characters, who, even as they share screen time, emerge as complex individuals."
