The Mad Men - and Women - are back! Vincent Kartheiser is Pete Campbell
BBC Interview with Vincent Kartheiser 03.02.2009

Do you enjoy the fashion?
I never really wore suits before this. It does look amazing. The thing is, now when I go to get a suit fitted, or I go to pick out a shirt, I am looking for a suit that really fits. I am so used to being strapped in on set, so if it is not tailored I feel like it is wearing me.
I have learned a lot about fashion on this show and Janie Bryant is a true artist. She is a perfectionist and has helped define our characters and the story
Is it true that you have to shave three to four times a day?
I think Jon Hamm has to shave three to four times a day. I have to shave twice a day. I will shave in the morning and, if I have a long day, then 10 to 12 hours later I will shave again.
Does it feel like you live in the Sixties when you get on set everyday?
Well I think this show in general is about insight into where we are now. Part of it is about comparing and contrasting how we have changed or not and how the human drama stays consistent no matter what generation we are in.
That being said, if you are going to look at the Sixties and the 21st century, there are definitely things that you can take from this show. Some things are tongue-in-cheek and some things are more profound, but I don't get to set and feel like we are in 1960 because I have an iPhone in my pocket. (mehr )
