Jon Hamm’s schedule these days is a happy frenzy. During his downtime from “Mad Men,” the Missouri native keeps busy with movie roles.
His latest film, “Stolen,” is a mystery in which he portrays a sullen detective with a missing son. The Sundance hit, co-starring Josh Lucas, opens Friday in New York and is available on demand through IFC.
Three more pictures are on deck for release this year. In “Shrek Forever After,” Hamm will be heard as a handsome ogre named Brogan who assists Princess Fiona. He’s the lawyer for poet Allen Ginsberg in the biopic “Howl.” Plus, Hamm is part of the acting ensemble in Ben Affleck’s sophomore directorial effort, a crime story called “The Town.”
“Having the opportunity to be involved in various projects is nice,” says Hamm, who turns 39 today. “I’ve been unemployed and underemployed for the majority of my career, so it’s great to work on such diverse projects in various genres. From ‘Howl’ to ‘Shrek,’ from a gay-themed art film to a big, animated family comedy, is a pretty wide swath.”
