Image Source: Warner BrosA career of diversifying complexity is what Jon Hamm has got going. Yes, many still look at him and see the iconic, Emmy-winning television role of Don Draper on Mad Men. But Hamm has never been a one-lane actor. On the small screen, post-Draper, he’s done nothing but vault surprising leaps in different directions between TV hits like The Morning Show and the upcoming Your Friends & Neighbors. To see him on the big screen is to see him go in all sorts of different ways in all sorts of different kinds of movies. One moment, he’s in an action-jammed blockbuster like Top Gun: Maverick; the next, he’s layered narratively — and almost scored like a piece of music — in Bad Times at the El Royale.In The Town (2010), Jon Hamm did not stand out by overshadowing the story but, rather, by becoming part of it. He played FBI agent Adam Frawley with restrained determination—sharp, no-nonsense, and always just a few steps behind the thieves he’s chasing. The film, directed by Affleck, who also acts in it, thrives on quiet tension. Hamm’s role is a big part of its focused, human vibe, and he never plays it too big.The Town tracks a close-knitted team of Boston bank robbers and struck a rare balance—being both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. It grossed $154 million worldwide and holds a solid 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, with its streaming discovery bringing it a whole new audience.FBI Agent Adam Frawley was precise, restrained, and realistic, thanks to Jon Hamm’s performance. The actor trained with actual FBI agents and learned how to handle firearms in a credible, not flashy, way. Hamm carries off this part with the ease of someone who understands that what the Frawleys of this world do is serious business.
