actress Sarah Clarke (Trust Me, Twilight), whose mom was among them (Clarke was also his prom date), recalls that Hamm "was really quite wise at a very early age.... He didn't wear on his sleeve what he was going through, but there was a profundity about him.... He was someone you could talk to about stuff in a different way."

JH: Yeah. I got out here, I’m friends with Paul Rudd. Paul was college roommates with my high school girlfriend’s older brother. So the older brother used to come back for Christmas break, or whatever, and they were the cool, older guys, and that’s how I met him. So I’ve known him since I was 18 years old. http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/08/mad-men-season-3-jon-hamm
Preston Clarke, a friend of Hamm’s from high school, recalls a Paul Rudd–Jon Hamm showdown. Hamm had taken Clarke’s sister, actress Sarah Clarke, to the prom in high school, but when Sarah met Rudd, who was Preston’s roommate at the University of Kansas, there were sparks. Rudd came to St. Louis to visit the Clarkes, of which Preston tells Windolf, “I thought he was coming to visit me, but obviously he was coming to visit my sister. Hamm was there because he was always at my house. And Paul knew that Jon had taken Sarah to prom. He was slightly intimidated. And then we started playing Trivial Pursuit.”

As conversation at The Hollywood Reporter’s Emmy round table turned to twisting plotlines, Mad Men star Jon Hamm revealed he took a former 24 and current Twilight actress to his high school prom.
The reveal came when Touch star Kiefer Sutherland was describing a 24 plotline in which the writers decided to make his costar Sarah Clarke a bad guy.
"That was my prom date, by the way," Hamm told a surprised Sutherland.
“That's hysterical,” Sutherland said when learning of Hamm’s connection to Clarke. “I'm just trying to picture you dancing because she's quite a short girl.”
Hamm, who knew Clarke in their mutual hometown of St. Louis, Mo., replied that it “worked out fine.”
