Jerry O'Donnell, the actor who plays Peggy Olson's brother-in-law on Mad Men, talks about almost having an out-of-body experience on the set and how his experience in the military informs his work as an actor.
Q: Jerry plays Gerry. Fortunate coincidence?
A: I had originally auditioned for another role. [Series creator Matthew Weiner] was in the room and he asked me about my experience in the army, and I served in Panama, so when I came back for the next audition he said "our man in Panama!" His attention to detail is, as you know, acute. They steered me towards this role.
