Joe O'Connor, who plays Trudy Campbell's dad Tom Vogel on Mad Men, compares the life of an ad man to that of an actor then describes what he'd do if Pete were his son-in-law.
Q: Tell me about your decision to join Mad Men.
A: I'd actually gone in for a part as a one-time guest star, for a role as the president of Bethlehem Steel I think it was. [Series creator] Matthew Weiner said that he wanted me to read for some other part, the part of Tom Vogel. This was the first season and the show hadn't been on the air yet. I didn't know much, but I knew that Matthew Weiner had been one of the writers on Sopranos, and he had written two or three of my favorite episodes. So I was just happy and thrilled to get the job.
