Jon Hamm feared Rob Lowe would snag his Mad Men role after a disappointing West Wing audition

[hewontgo]

Jon Hamm really wanted to play Sam Seaborn on 'The West Wing,' but Rob Lowe won the part. He worried that Lowe would play Don Draper on 'Mad Men' too. https://t.co/Y3e41s6x8h

Hamm worried that he would lose out on the job quite possibly to Rob Lowe, who had snapped up another part that he really wanted,

I hope Jon Hamm is cast in Rob Lowe’s biopic.

Right? Every man mentioned in this article is garbage, dear God. An assaulter, a statutory rapist and a sexual harasser.

i just finished his season of Fargo, and he was deeply upsetting in it! so...good for him? lol. not surprised that Roy [Spoiler (click to open)]was FLOURISHING in prison smh

[anterrabre]

He only flourished for a minute, because the JJL character visited him there and told him that she was going to pay people on the inside to make his life a living hell, lol. He wasn't cheesing after that!

oh my GOD that was great! especially when at first i was bummed he was still alive lol

The scene with [spoiler] Dot and Roy fighting in the cabin while he's screaming Bible scripture to her was pretty intense and terrifying.

Rob would have never fit into that era so you were safe Don.
