Remy Auberjonois, who plays Dr. Emerson on Mad Men, talks about staying true to the family business (acting) and compares Mad Men to Star Trek.
Q: In the first episode of Mad Men that viewers ever watched, you're shown on screen smoking a cigarette in the examining room. Tell me a little about this moment.
A: It's funny it's such a memorable scene... whenever I tell anybody I was on the show and they ask me who I was, I say I was the smoking gynecologist and everybody knows who that is. I think it signaled that what the show was doing was really interesting.
