Every now and then an esteemed actor from the posh theater world decides to make the move over to movies and television to slum it with us nerds. When Carrie Coon did so in 2014 with dual TV/movie roles in Gone Girl and The Leftovers, the unwashed entertainment masses all had the same reaction: “Now where have you been all our lives?!?”
After a successful career treading the boards on Broadway, Coon is now a pop culture mainstay and we couldn’t be happier about it. The Copley, Ohio-native absolutely shines in any role she takes, no matter how prominent or minor. From Nora Durst on The Leftovers to Gloria Burgle on Fargo season 3 and beyond, Coon quite simply goes hard in the paint.
Next up, Coon will be introduced to an even wider audience than ever before with the announcement that she’ll be headlining season 3 of HBO’s The White Lotus.

“Yeah,” Hamm said. “I was down to the very end of that. It was meant to be me, but we had to film the continuing adventures of Mr. Draper.”
At the time, Hamm was still starring as Don Draper in the critically acclaimed drama series “Mad Men”, creating the scheduling conflict.
But the actor explained that he had a direct connection to the character of Nicholas Dunne, because he is also from St. Louis.
“Poor Ben, a Boston guy, had to wear a Cardinals hat,” Hamm joked of Affleck. “He was not very happy about it.”

As Don Draper once said, “If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation.” And that’s just what happened to Jon Hamm, saying he wasn’t allowed to star in David Fincher’s Gone Girl, with the role eventually going to Ben Affleck.
On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Jon Hamm confirmed he was closer than nearly anyone else to lead Gone Girl, but said Mad Men got in the way. “I was down to the very end of that. It was meant to be me, but we had to film the continuing adventures of Mr. Draper.” While no specifics were given, it is believed that Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner wouldn’t let him out of his contract, although Hamm would do a number of movies while production on Mad Men was going on, including Million Dollar Arm, which...

One of Ben Affleck’s most infamous roles was in David Fincher’s Gone Girl, but it actually almost went to Jon Hamm.
During Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Hamm made an appearance with his Mad Men co-star John Slattery. During one of the show’s segments, the actor was answering a question from a fan, who asked if he was initially meant to star as Nick Dunne in the 2014 mystery-thriller.
“Yeah,” he responded. “I was down to the very end of that. It was meant to be me, but we had to film the continuing adventures of Mr. Draper.”
Hamm’s confirmation comes after a 2015 report from Page Six that claimed the actor wasn’t allowed to do Gone Girl because Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner wouldn’t let him out of his contractual obligations to the series.

Emily Ratajkowski announced in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times that she has basically quit acting because Hollywood is so “fucked up.” The supermodel started her acting career in a major way with a supporting role opposite Ben Affleck in David Fincher’s “Gone Girl.” Ratajkowski played Andie Fitzgerald, a student of Nick Dunne’s (Affleck) who is also having an affair with him. She went on to star in films such as “We Are Your Friends” and “I Feel Pretty,” but she hasn’t acted in a movie since 2019’s “Lying and Stealing.”
“I didn’t feel like, ‘Oh, I’m an artist performing and this is my outlet,’” Ratajkowski said about quitting her acting career. “I felt like a piece of meat who people were judging, saying, ‘Does she have anything else other than her [breasts]?’”
After “Gone Girl,” Ratajkowski worked hard with her team to find...

David Fincher's borderline obsessive strive for perfection has earned him a reputation for being one of Hollywood's most meticulous directors. Michael Alan Kahn, who worked under Fincher as the assistant director during the 1995 crime-mystery "Se7en," provided insight into Fincher's mindset when he recalled to The Ringer a telling exchange the two had on set:
"I went up to Fincher and I said, 'Look at this! Look! It's here! We're here! You did it! We're shooting a movie! There's Morgan Freeman. There's Brad [Pitt]. There's Kevin Spacey ... Isn't this amazing? Isn't this wonderful? This is what you wanted.' And he looked at me as though I were from outer space and said, 'No, it's awful.' And I looked at him and I said, 'Why is it awful?' And he said, and I mean sincerely, 'Because now I have to get what's in my head out of all you cretins.
