Why Jon Hamm thinks 'Superman' can be kind of boring?

Jon Hamm, who has played plenty of villains onscreen, including in 'Fargo,' 'Baby Driver' and others, recently shared how he makes "bad behaviour look extremely attractive" onscreen. "I think people can relate to characters making bad decisions, because we've all made them," Hamm told The Hollywood Reporter, noting that he leans toward playing the bad guy in film and TV projects. "My history of characters isn't exactly the saints; it's more on the sinner side of the equation," he continued. "But Superman can be kind of boring. No offense to the new Superman [David Corenswet], who I hope is a delightful person." While the Mad Men actor has had turns playing all types of roles throughout his career, some of his most notable performances were as the villain, including Sheriff Roy Tillman in Fargo season five, Buddy in 2017's Baby Driver and tech billionaire Paul Marks in The Morning Show. Hamm previously said his iconic Mad Men character Don Draper was actually more of a villain. "Jimmy Gandolfini, whom I knew a little bit, had a similar relationship to Tony Soprano, and Bryan Cranston had it with Walter White." "The character got celebrated for the wrong reasons," the actor explained. "People thought that Don was this paragon of masculinity or whatever. There were so many think-pieces, and you go, 'Wait, he was pretty f****d up.' And I was very happy with how Matt ended the story, but it was also hard," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Watch: Jesse Williams plays fixer in 'Hotel Costiera' trailer

June 13 (UPI) -- Grey's Anatomy alum Jesse Williams portrays fixer Daniel de Luca in Prime Video's upcoming series Hotel Costiera, which arrives on the streamer Sept. 24. A trailer released Friday shows Daniel, a former U.S. Marine, interacting with guests at an Almalfi Coast luxury resort. "In addition to dealing with the wealthy guests' problems, Daniel is also on the trail of Alice, one of the owner's daughters who disappeared a month earlier," an official synopsis reads. "Daniel must do everything he can to bring her home, but facing those who kidnapped the girl will be more challenging than any problem Daniel has ever faced." Hotel Costiera, which is directed by Fargo's Adam Bernstein and Giacomo Martelli, will arrive on the streamer with six episodes. Maria Chiara Giannetta, Jordan Alexandra, Antonio Gerardi, Sam Haygarth, Tommaso Ragno, Amanda Campana, Pierpaolo Spollon, Alejandra Onieva and Jean-Hugues Anglade also star.
