And the Walk-On Role on for Season 3 Goes to Justin Zell

Justin Zell's one-of-a-kind version of Joan Holloway was chosen by none other than Mad Men Creator (and Emmy winner) Matt Weiner and Co-Executive Producer Scott Hornbacher as the winner of the You Could Be on Mad Men Contest. Both judges viewed all eighteen finalists the week before the Emmys. Zell's video was actually one of six that the actor submitted. (He created one for each character.)

"Thank you so much. This is so awesome. I was sitting at my girlfriend's computer when I read the news. I was speechless," said Zell. "The feedback from fellow contestants, registered AMCtv.com voters, friends and family has been so positive...It's been a very inspiring experience. I truly love all the characters on Mad Men, especially Roger Sterling. My friends and I all worked collaboratively to make my videos. We even had Mad Men watching dinner parties -- to which, however, I didn't wear a dress. Mostly."

Congratulations Justin as well as the other 17 finalists. (To check out the work by the other talented contestants, click here.) All finalists should keep an eye out in the mail for a small prize. Thanks again for being such great fans and participating in this contest.
