I've never seen him "disappear" into a character like all great actors do.
Ironically, combined with his looks, that is the trait of MOVIE STARS.

Tom Cruise is always Tom Cruise. Will Ferrell is always Will Ferrell. RDJ is always RDJ. Bruce Willis is always Bruce Willis. And all of them have bombs at least as bad is Hamm has on their resume. In various ways they also have as bad or much worse bad behavior on there.

I suspect that you showed your hand when you characterized a roughing up that occurred a quarter century ago and for which much of the serious charged were dropped into something more akin to a CIA black site enhanced interrogator of unspoken, possibly recent, vintage.
