Starting the interview off on the right foot, John Hamm reminds Kevin Pollak that contrary to Pollak's memory, the two had spent an entire afternoon together playing golf five years ago. Embarrassed, Pollak backpedals by saying that he was the "best golfer of the day" while Hamm responds with a comment that Pollak was "preforming".

To progress the chat, Pollak and Hamm talk about "the George Clooney effect" where emerging actors are often subjected to preforming in a countless number of pilot series before a reliable character is formed on a long standing show. Hamm recounts that this is how he was cast for Mad Men and that his breakout story isn't unique, rather that a number of "pre-reads" were required before being considered for the role of Don Draper.

John Hamm and Kevin Pollak talk about the grinding casting process and the effort that an actor must put in over and over again to obtain gainful, regular employment until Pollak pulls out a Martini shaker from under the desk. In true Mad Men style, Pollak refills Hamm's coffee cup with water while highlighting the subtle humor of the show.

Included in this interview are clips from Mad Men and a deeper discussion about the impact that the show and Hamm's new found influence on the entertainment industry.
