In 2007, he was cast as Don Draper on the hit series, "Mad Men". However, it took one role in particular to catapult him into an international star. For the next few years, he would go back and forth between film and television work steadily, appearing in such projects as, "We Were Soldiers", "Gilmore Girls", "The Division", "CSI: Miami", "Point Pleasant", "Charmed", "Ira and Abby", "The Unit", "What About Brian", "Numb3rs", and "The Sarah Silverman Program". He also began appearing in feature films, including "Space Cowboys" and "Kissing Jessica Stein". A one-episode guest-starring role on "Providence", grew to nineteen episodes because of his popularity with audiences. Fortunately for audiences everywhere, he began booking work steadily in 2000. After three years without a booking, he was dropped by his agent, and he decided that if he didn't book anything by age 30, he would go back to his home state, and work a regular job. He relocated to Los Angeles in the mid-90s, and, unfortunately, found little success. Jon Hamm decided he wanted to be an actor while in college.
