His acting career took a serious turn when he answered an ad for a theater production in which he got a major role. Upon graduating college with a bachelor's in Arts, Jon Hamm and then-girlfriend, Sarah Clarke, separated and he returned to his hometown to teach acting at his high school Alma mater.

Any actor or actress who's made the decision to come to the city of dreams understand that it takes more than the bright lights in their heads to make it big. And the story of Jon Hamm is no different. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, Hamm obtained a job as a waiter and began auditioning for acting roles while living with his uncle. As soon as he could, he rented his own apartment and set out to be a star. The acting jobs did not come easy for Hamm and giving up was not an option he could take. In order to not lose hope in his career dreams, Hamm made a pact with himself. If he did not "make it" by his 30th birthday, he would return home and continue his mundane average Joe life.
