Herstand Ari about Hamm

What was it like working with Jon Hamm?
He was so friendly and very welcoming. We spent six hours shooting this scene and between takes he taught me cribbage, which I never played before. It’s a very complicated game. He said he learned it on the job because it is one of those games that were pretty popular back then. We were the only two actors for the half-day we were shooting. Right when we wrapped the scene, he pulled out his phone and took a selfie of us. That was a full year ago and it was torture not being able to share it with anybody. Matt Weiner was very nice to all us day players, but he all but threatened our first-born child if any details got out. I was very careful not to tell anyone.”

I see that there have been some pretty cool acting gigs you have also done too. Can you tell our readers about some of your favorites?
I was on the third to last episode of Mad Men. My scene only lasted about 2 minutes and was with Jon Hamm. Just the two of us. We spent about 6 hours shooting it, believe it or not. It was fun hanging out with him for the day. Great guy. And it was quite an honor to be on one of the greatest TV shows of all time. 2 Broke Girls was a fun experience for completely different reasons.....
