AceShowbiz - With the premiere date coming around the corner, "Mad Men" was thrown a celebration on the red carpet this Monday, August 3. The event that was held at Los Angeles' Directors Guild of America Theater saw most of the primary and secondary cast coming in support of the show.
Jon Hamm became the center of the attention with him stopping for photo sessions and red carpet interviews. Asked by Los Angeles Times what becomes his character in the third season, the actor replied, "I'm in a lot of the scenes but I think everyone works very hard on the show. I don't know about us (he and January Jones, who plays his wife) working harder than anyone else. We're just there a lot."
Hamm and Jones were accompanied by the other depicters of their on-screen family, daughter Kiernan Shipka, and new addition to the clan, Jared Gilmore. Creator Matthew Weiner was also in attendance, accompanied by his family.
Beside the cast, there were a bunch of celebrity guests at the event. They were Steve Buscemi, Stanley Tucci, Sarah Silverman and Fred Armisen who is dating the show's regular, Elisabeth Moss.
"Mad Men" is back for the third season August 16 on AMC. The critically-praised show is up for Best Drama Series at this year's Primetime Emmy Awards.
