Jon Hamm


Jon Hamm enjoyed his Shrek experience.

The Mad Men actor voices the character of Brogan in Shrek Forever After, the fifth movie in the franchise, and reveals that it was a lot of fun.

So I tremendously enjoyed it, and it was a really interesting thing to learn on the fly.

The actor admitted that he learnt a lot during the recording process but was made to feel welcome by the Shrek family.

In an interview with Collider he said: "It was easier, a lot easier. Certainly a lot less demanding on me. My role in the film isn’t nearly as large as my role in the television show, so that was a lot easier as well.

"But a whole different kind of acting and being in a scene, when you’re reading opposite people who have other constructed performances that you haven’t necessarily heard.

"And that again speaks to the incredible competence of the people who put this together, to make that all seem seamless.

"And I was learning as I went along, as who the character was, find the character, it was changing, as it was changing we would go back in and re-do it and tweak it, and the art involved with who this character was because it was a new character was constantly being shifted and there was notes about this and that, and that was a really fun process to be part of.

"Because it’s not happening live, it’s sort of deferred until they get it exactly right. And you’re in the hands of people who want it to be excellent, that’s a very comfortable and welcoming feeling.

"So I tremendously enjoyed it, and it was a really interesting thing to learn on the fly."

Shrek Forever After is released 2nd July.
