Caity Lotz about Jon Hamm

http://aboutactorjonhamm.blogspot.fr/

You had a role in season four of Mad Men? What was that like?

- I didn’t realise what a big deal it was to be on the show. It was my first acting job. I didn’t realise what a great, cool role it was, which helped me because I wasn’t nervous. But it was amazing.
What was Mad Men’s Jon Hamm like?
- He was awesome, very sweet, a really genuine guy – not at all like a Hollywood type. He is a man’s man.
You actually turned him down – well, his character, Don Draper.
- That was the point of my character, because he always gets every woman he wants. She represents the new youth [in the Sixties], the new way of thinking for women breaking out of the Fifties. And my scenes show him getting older. But I wouldn’t have minded being able to kiss Jon Hamm.  I was definitely a little smitten.

You are best known for your roles in Mad Men & Death Valley so how has your time on these shows really prepared you to make the move into film?

- Well working in general helps because the more that you work the better you get and you learn more. Death Valley was an interesting one because I was one of the lead characters and so you really get that feeling of being there all the time.
It's nice to be a lead on thing because you get allotted more creative freedom and it's the same when you are working on a film as you get more freedom and you get to try more things.
- Mad  Men was one of my first jobs and that was a huge learning experience to watch how the likes of Jon Hamm interacted with the director and how the set worked with all the props and lights and all that stuff. So I guess I learnt a lot from both.

TCC: You’ve worked with a lot of guys like Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Josh Holloway (Lost, Battle of the Year) who know how it feels to be on shows with intense fan bases. Did they give you any advice about the experience? 

CL: No, I don’t think so, we never really talked about that. I don’t see them as very big social media people, maybe they are, I’m not sure. But both of them were really awesome to work with, just really cool dudes.

Moving away from ghosts for a moment, you appeared in the third and fourth seasons of Mad Men [during Don Draper’s return to his past life]. That must have been a fantastic early acting experience?

- It was awesome. My character had quite an important part in portraying the evolution of American history and the way that era ushered in a new type of liberated, idealistic woman. Don Draper is seeing and experiencing that change for the first time via my character. Working with Jon (Hamm) was great. I was a really nice guy and to watch him work and act alongside him was an incredibly gratifying experience.

Some viewers will forever think of you as Stephanie on “Mad Men.”

- “Mad Men” was my first job, and that legitimized me. Thank God, I didn’t realize what a big deal it was at the time, or I would have been very nervous. I was pretty green, and I remember Jon Hamm pulling the back of my shirt because I kept leaning forward and messing up the shot.
You two certainly had chemistry.
- What else I remember is that he felt creepy having to hit on Stephanie, because she was so young. He didn’t want to have to come on so strong. I think the audience thought she was too young for him, too. Ha.

Lena : Yes, you were even in Mad Men. The clothing on that show is gorgeous.
Caity Lotz : Oh yeah, that is like the best part. Even the undergarments are vintage.
Lena : Did you see the skit where Jon Hamm plays Sergio on SNL ?
Caity Lotz : I don't think so. Jon Hamm is actually really funny. As much as he's a dramatic actor, he's hilarous. He's a really nice guy. He's so down-to-earth. He's a man's man.
