Oh yes, definately, Jon Hamm is going to be a big movie star, if the women in this country have anything to say about it. But, comparing him to George Clooney? Nah. George was a TV swoon star it is true, but it took him FOREVER to get to the big screen and be the "next big thing". I hope Jon Hamm makes it quicker than that. I think Cary Grant is a better comparison, because Jon is funny too!

My sentiment exactly he's the next Cary Grant he has something that Clooney doesn't have that traditional leading man look as well as a great actor at his core Don Draper is a swine but Hamm makes him completely likeable that's rare talent, he has it beyond charisma he has that thing few actors have especially in this day and age.

Jon Hamm is the total package: looks, charm, humor, talent, humility (so far!)

He's the best thing to happen in "show biz" in ages. I wish him nothing but the best!

I wish he had been cast as the lead in "The Day The Earth Stood Still" even though I'm sure Keanu has done a credible job. I have a feeling that "leading man" roles in future movies are just around the corner.

Jon is a unique and exceptionally talented actor; he'll make his own footprints in the business. I can only hope he gets the right roles to properly showcase his talent. Right now, I'm hoping the MadMen series continues for many more years......

You are so right, silverminx---let's hope Jon H. does the "Movie Star" routine in between seasons of shooting MM! Hope hope hope....

When MM first aired viewers were invited to send e-mails to the cast through this board. I sent one to Jon Hamm and suggested that he is the best "thing" to come along since Cary Grant. It's about time everyone else is catching on. (LOL)

IMHO, Jon is head and soulders above George Clooney in all areas: looks, acting, personality, etc. Why does one outstanding actor have to be compared to an almost has-been, anyway? Jon can stand on his own talent and looks and come out way ahead of the Hollywood bunch.

You said it, rozsie!

just had to chime in re: Jon Hamm. I hope that he is rewarded for all the years he has paid his dues in Hollywood.I read a decent interview in Best Life magazine where he talked about his early days in L.A.He seems like a pretty well rounded guy,I sure hope the pull of the big screen doesn't change him.
I agree with rozsie that Hamm is superior to Clooney in talent,personality,looks,etc.
I understand that all the actors have longer term contracts w/ MM.So it's a pretty sure thing they will remain part of the cast.
No matter what role Jon tackles in another production,I will always be fond of his portrayal of Don Draper.....call it a sentimental favorite.

I like the comment he made a while back (think it may have been when he won the Golden Globe) that he felt like "the guy who finally got invited to the party and he's staying all night long."

I just love the fact that he appreciates his luck. Some luck, sure---but mostly talent!
