YAY!!! John Slattery the woman loving, heart attack having, milk and vodka drinking, ad exec in Mad Men, and formerly in “Ed”, did an interview with OK! Magazine and here are some tidbits for ya.
On how people acted then vs. now in the show
“I think people are still just as filthy-minded as they were then,” the Emmy-nominated actor explained to OK! at the Writers Guild Awards in New York. “Only you just can’t act on it now.”
In fact, the 46-year-old feels that it’s this dark, conniving side of humanity that audiences are relating to. “I’m being glib, but I think what anybody responds to is that it’s truthful and it’s universal,” said John. “These are people who are thinking the stuff people are thinking today.”
Why is the show popular?
“It’s just a really well-written show… And I think the cast felt similarly that we didn’t do the show because it would be a huge success, we did it because we liked the writing.”
