Jon Hamm actor

“The only reason I picked this is because I used to be on a TV show called Mad Men, it's about advertising. This is a movie called How to Get Ahead in Advertising. The title is a pun, I love a pun in a title. How to Get Ahead in Advertising is about a guy who grows a head that has really interesting opinions. Bruce Robinson, from Withnail and I, maybe you know that one. A lot of people like that movie, I like that movie too, but this is equally spectacular and weird.”
