My Take
Jon Hamm gives me hope for late bloomers everywhere. He had even worked as a teacher in Missouri before Don Draper made him famous, and I am convinced the long wait is exactly what made the performance possible; you cannot play a man haunted by reinvention unless you have spent years being overlooked yourself. Losing the Emmy repeatedly before finally winning in 2015 became almost a running joke, and he took it with grace. What seals my admiration is his comedy: a man that handsome being that willing to look ridiculous suggests real security. Hollywood manufactures leading men constantly; it rarely produces ones this self-aware.
