"4 Facts : Jon Hamm"
9/21/10
BY MICHAEL GOODPASTER

(FOUR) TEACHER
Hamm graduated from the University of Missouri in 1993 with a Bachelors degree in English. After this he returned to his old high school to teach eighth grade acting as a form of repayment for all the school’s support while growing up. You have to really admire and respect that kind of loyalty and character. One of his students ended up “making it” as well. Ellie Kemper, famous for playing “Erin” on The Office, was a Hamm pupil.


(THREE) ODD JOBS
We know he’s “Don Draper”, but he’s had many more jobs than that. Once he got to LA, he got a job as a waiter to make ends meet in between auditions. For a few years he scraped and scratched to get some gigs and at one point was a set designer for a softcore porn film.


(TWO) RUDDY-BUDDY
What feels like forever ago, Keith Evans and I decided that since we were both such huge fans of Paul Rudd that we’d start an unofficial fan club of sorts called “The Ruddy-Buddies”. It’s basically a club in name as we don’t have a website, handshake, or anything other than enjoyment of Paul Rudd’s work. I mean, how could you NOT like Paul Rudd? Well, Jon Hamm has been friends with Paul Rudd for well over twenty years. Hamm visited Hollywood in 1992 to see him and hang out. I think this had an effect on him as he’d move to LA himself soon after. Rudd, being the stand up guy he is, hooked Hamm up with his agent.


(ONE) PLAYER
Jon Hamm doesn’t shy from letting the world know he’s a huge St. Louis sports fan. He has done spots for NHL team St. Louis Blues and is a huge Cardinals fan. He grew up in the area and took to sports in school. He played football, baseball, and swam. His baseball skills have been showcased on the past few “Celebrity and Legend” Games during MLB All Star Weekends.
