(Jon) Hamm-ing It Up on Purchase Street
The City closed part of downtown on Monday for filming an Apple TV+ drama starring actor and Emmy Award winner Jon Hamm called Your Friends and Neighbors. Olivia Munn and Amanda Peet were also in town for the filming.
Hamm will star in the lead role as Coop, a recently divorced hedge fund manager who, after being fired, resorts to stealing from the wealthy residents in his tiny upstate New York suburb in order to keep his family’s lifestyle afloat. These petty crimes begin to reinvigorate him until he breaks into the wrong house at the wrong time.
Hopefully life will not imitate art.
Hamm is well known for starring in the AMC series Mad Men. His fictional ex-wife in the series, Betty Francis, lived in Rye. See our recent piece, RyeGPT People of Note: Betty Francis of Mad Men.
