Please educate us, what you watch (films/tv)? Easier to position you and your comments. Thx.
I heard he is interested in a project playing Fletch but I don’t know if it is a film or a TV show.

Honestly I'm confused on if this is a joke or not... By definition a cameo is a small role, so it wouldn't have had much impact. And unless he cameo'd as "Jon Hamm" (which sometimes happens) how would you ever expect someone to learn about him?
he cameos as jon hamm and he is shadowing david because he is going to play a character that is just like david. it is pretty memorable.
This is total nonsense! I’ve never seen Mad Men and only really encountered Hamm in his comedic roles where he’s really funny. I think he has a very cartoonish face, he’s like a more handsome version of Phil from Modern Family.
Isn't Pirates of the Caribbean a poor example of your point? The entire franchise comes down to Johnny Depp's decision to act like Keith Richards. The plot was completely disposable in every movie. And as far as Lost goes, like all hit series, it started off well and then had good and bad periods in later seasons because the network had to fill in full seasons to sell more ads. Same problem with all network TV from the past 50 years. You don't see that happen very often with streaming shows because they only write and produce the episodes that are essential to the story without all that filler we grew up watching on network TV. The actors did their jobs fine but the writers screwed up by writing themselves into a corner early on. You can't really blame the writers from later seasons for the mistakes of the earlier writers.
Jon Hamm watches the actors in Apple's productions, supplying criticism, much as Hamlet does in Shakespeare -
Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and, as I may say, the whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
All the world's a stage, all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts ...
and languishing in a space of dimness as Jaques in the Forest of Arden -
Perhaps Apple is more invested in Shakespeare than one would have thought ...

Hamlet, Act III, Scene 2, line 1
Or, Jon is like the other Jon, Jaques commenting melancholically

As You Like It, Act II, Scene 7

Jon Hamm has a 60s kind of handsome.
As Don Draper in Mad Men, he was the quintessential Corporate American executive. Another really good actor was Elisabeth Moss, she went on to do a few movies but her current big hit is the TV series The Handmaid’s Tale. Another wonderful show.
I highly recommend these two drama series. Very worth your time.

The reason I do not watch Apple TV is the same reason that certain topics of conversation of which I am not allowed to mention here are not allowed at MacRumors.
I do not watch too much TV, but of the TV I watch, I prefer it to be free of this [censored].

I was teasing by listing that first yes, highlighted by it being followed up with the obviously more popular and well known Mad Men reference. And he did cameo as himself....
“Who is he” it’s easier to ask Google than typing questions in comments guys.
This is it.
As for Jon Hamm, he appears in a lot of random things (mostly notably Mad Men). The most recent one I can remember is Black Mirror.
Compare the original pirates trilogy, which at least had a director with vision and style, with the latter two movies. All had Depp in, but only the first three are anything like watchable. (I don’t personally massively like any of them, but the post-Verbinski movies are just awful.)
