JIMMY BARRETT
Does anyone watch Burn Notice on USA? I was watching a rerun last night and recognized the actor who played Jimmy Barrett on MM - can't think of his name. He was tied up and had a gag in his mouth, but I recognized him right away!
His character was name - you guessed it - Jimmy!

There is a great interview with Patrick Fischler over on the Blog. He sounds like a neat guy. Apparently he loved playing Jimmy Barrett, even getting socked by Don Draper. Every actor that talks about their role on Mad Men seems to really appreciate that they were part of something special, as indeed they were. I hope Jimmy Barrett shows up occasionally in future episodes, if only to irritate Don. It adds more spice and depth to the show when characters like his show up once in awhile and don't just disappear like they never happened. A Jimmy B. and Joan Holloway affair could be very interesting - he surely noticed the lovely redhead when he visited the Sterling Cooper offices, right? Anything to get Joan away from the rat doctor.
I watch "Southland" a police drama and Patrick Fischler aka Jimmy Barrett has a recurring role as a straight up play by the rules detective on that show. He is good actor.
