>Star in an awarding winning tv series for a number of years
>Now doing shitty commercials
Why does this happen to so many celebrities?
>>
>>215176298
His career peaked early with Mad Men
>>
>>215176298
limited range
>>
>>215176298
because money is awesome and you can do literally whatever you want with it and all that's required is to be handsome af on camera 1-2 weeks a year

Bro he was in a movie with SARAH GADON.

He already won.

you're a blight on this board go away

He made the right choice just living life after earning generation wealth instead of falling for the goy trap of spending his entire life chasing more and more money and never getting to experience the fruits of his labor.

>I'm 65+ years old now and I have done nothing but work, It's finally time to "live my life!" and start enjoying my millions of dollars
So fucking retarded.
>>
Probably because they are in one show for years and then it's harder to get hired for another stuff because everyone only sees you as that character from that show. I'd guess that's part of the reason why actors do many shows and movies at the same time nowadays instead of going for the syndication "I'll do this one show for 10 years 22 episodes per year and nothing else"

>>215176298
He's Clooney with even less charisma and charm
>>
>>215176320

He was trying to make it in acting for decades before Mad Men
>>
>>215176298
Are you asking why celebrities cash million dollar checks for maybe a day or two of work?
>>
>>215176298

I recently returned to the US after living abroad for many years. Even when I lived in the US before, I never watched much television. But now I'm living in a hotel and the tv is on a couple hours every day. There are just nonstop commercials with A listers selling some trash crap. I saw Johnny Galek selling a mobile gatcha game. Courtney Cox and the Phoebe actress too. I saw Samuel Jackson selling car insurance I think. Kaley Cuocou was selling something. I've lost track. But I don't remember it being like this.

>Plays a SINGLE role
>Is actually a shitty actor
>In every single project he was in
He should be glad they are still hiring him.
Most of TV series "stars" are god-awful actors that simply fluked on a single role.
Consider the classic: the Winchester brothers. Permanent pop-culture slot, but name me 3 things both of them were. And then name the not-shit ones.
>>
>>215176657
>He was trying to make it in acting for decades before Mad Men
he did it in less than 5
he literally spoke on this exact timeline in several interviews
you dopey liar
>>
>>215176542
>TV actor of a single show
>Generational wealth
... except he's doing commercials just to stay afloat, for he has no actual income and no amassed wealth
He is in even worse spot in a boomer that worked his ass into a heart failure at the age of 67
>>
>>215176753
how would you know if he has wealth or not?
>>
>>215176298
>>215176753
Is it really that bad? I checked IMDB and he still seems to get work
>>
>>215176298
More like Hammy
>>
>>215176298
Celebrities have bills to pay too. The money vs time equation works out well for commercials. Same reason they do conventions.
>>
>>215176298
>Beat a freshman
>Beat two
>>
he crushed my nuts
>>
>>215176298
he kept free balling and pissing his pants.
weird as fuck
>>
>>215176298
>ITT: anons living in complete delusions
Hamm is perfectly successful, he just got done playing the main character in a big apple TV miniseries. No idea why everyone ITT seems to think he's fallen off somehow
>>
>>215176298
Kill yourself Jew
>>215176320
What career? "He" was always a fucking scumbag
Kill yourself

jason alexander talked about this in an interview, basically when you become an iconic charcater from a popular tv series its pretty much the end of your career as an actor
>>
>>215178120
why? is it because it becomes impossible for audiences to separate you from the character? surely that would be the same thing for people cast as an iconic movie character. unless there's something specific about tv shows that causes this?
>>
>>215176634

He literally had a regular TV gig starting in 2002, (The Division), that lasted 3 years, just a couple years after his first TV acting part.
After that show ended in 2004, he got one off TV episodes, and recurring but nit regular cast member parts in a bunch of TV shows, including The Unit, and What About Brian, until Mad Men came along in 2007, and he still did parts in other TV shows while starting in Mad Men, along with bit parts in movies.
After Mad Men ended, he tried starting in some movies, but it didn’t stick, so he just did a bunch of TV shows, with recurring roles, and bit parts in movies.
He has literally not been out of work regularly since almost as long as he started acting, or after Mad Men ended.

I said it before, this thread is a fucking delusional narrative with no basis in reality. jon hamm is perfectly successful. it is admittedly very true that becoming a major character in a long running tv show can fuck your career as an actor up but this just isn't the case here
>>
>>215176347
Yea every time I see him in something now he's just playing season 7 Don Draper but worse
>>
>>215176542
Don't compare jobs like acting, singing, being an athlete to pleb job
>>
he's in Landman
>>
>>215178049
nah he didn't make that much from Mad Men. It was on AMC which didn't pay that well at the time.
>>
>>215180362
>nah he didn't make that much from Mad Men
Yes. Yes he fucking did retard
>>
>>215180362
he has a 3.5M house that he spends like 1/4 of his time at dipshit
>>
>>215176456

Stop it, faggot.
>>
>>215178093
so fvkin based
>>
the scandal about him torturing that dude during a hazing came out definitely hurt his career post mad men, but he's had quite a few lowkey roles so it's not like he's totally blackballed
>>
>>215178818
Not that anon, but I think it can happen to movie actors too. The issue with tv shows is that they are several hours worth of material and they run and rerun them several times, these characters have a stronger hold in the audience's imagination, I suppose. A strong typecast character for an actor in a movie can be countered by him playing a second strong but different character in a different movie. Otherwise, what kind of movie role could even compete with 9 seasons of George Costanza?

>>215176298
Selling out is a stupid concept that some annoying white guys who grew up in 90s stick still try to call out celebrities for. All the celebrities they thought were cool growing up were just doing their commercials in Japan instead of the US. There is no down side to celebrities doing commercials now
>>
>>215180548
no one gives us fuck you flunkie dweeb
>>
>>215180626
>There is no down side to celebrities doing commercials now

>>
>>215180715
>ask why his career died
>post why

>>
>>215176298
Star the best episode from Black Mirror too.
>>
