Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t watched Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt yet, then what is wrong with you. Go watch it now. For the rest of you lets, talk about Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne. Recently, Mad Men’s own Don Draper, Jon Hamm opened up about the difficulties of playing the cult leader/kidnapper and the dangers of onset Karate.
Jon Hamm recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about filming the final scene for the season:
"The series of flashbacks on the reverend's secret videotape were pretty challenging. Not only were they ridiculous, culminating with me humping the couch, but those were the last setups of the show. Everybody was wrapped, and I was there with the crew, who'd been working together for 13 weeks. I was the new guy going, 'Sorry, everybody, I'll try to get these done fast.' There was a lot of pressure.”
Hamm had a plan to deal with the pressure as went on to detail:
“I figured the more ridiculous I was, the better, and they provided me an excellent opportunity to be ridiculous with a capital 'RIDIC.'”
However, Jon Hamm’s genius plan quickly backfired, as he describes:
“When I was doing the karate, I was like, 'I think I'll do a kick and the flip-flop will come off. That'll be funny.' They were like, 'Just don't kick it into a light.' I'm like, 'Come on, what am I, an idiot?' And of course, on the first take, I kicked the flip-flop right into a fluorescent prop light and shattered it all over the place. That was super great."
