Wanted: Sleazy Ad Type For 'Mad Men' Walk-On
PSSSSST? WANNA WORK AT STERLING COOPER?
These folks do.
They're the finalists who will compete for your votes to win a walk-on role on Mad Men -- and clearly, almost all of them want to be Joan Holloway.
People, people, PEOPLE: there can only be ONE Joan Holloway (much to Roger Sterling's chagrin).
Although, I have to say, I am loving the modern-day interpretation of her as a Swimming With Sharks-type character, portrayed by Jacob Crumbine —and the inventive “How to be a Perfect Secretary” mini-film done by Sabina Maschi.
Jacob's interpretation shows a deep understanding of Joan's inner workings, while Sabina's shows an excellent grasp of the era in which Mad Men operates: a repressed, yet seemingly happy time wherein everything had to be perfect.
There are also a few awesome portrayals of Pete the Slimeball, and one scene where Peggy gives birth. I kind of wish someone would have taken a stab at Kinsey (no, REALLY – someone stab that insufferable poseur fuck), though. Would have been interesting to see him in today's era as a skinny jeans wearing, Parliament smoking hipster dude.
I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH ONE TO VOTE FOR. AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!
So, dear readers, I'm leaving it up to you. Visit AMCTV , choose wisely, and make me proud.
