CAMPBELL'S SCOOP: Clad in a hipster tee, jeans and Skechers, Vincent Kartheiser looked all of 16 (save for the scruff he was sporting). Holding court in his character's office, he explained to reporters that Pete Campbell rubs Don and the other veteran admen the wrong way because he's "ahead of the curve. Pete's right about a lot of this s--t, and they don't want him to be."


LOL, Skechers? That's so high school!

On the ‘Mad Men’ set, success sells

Vincent Kartheiser, who plays the ambitious account executive Pete Campbell, sees the clothes as a metaphor. “Part of this show is actually boys pretending to be men,” he said. “There’s a large portion of this office of guys playing advertiser. They’re just playing dress-up.”

“I like playing Pete,” added Kartheiser. “I don’t know if I like Pete. But it’s fun to do some of the things he does.” Like trying to blackmail Draper — who viewers learned last season wasn’t who he appeared to be and reinvented himself — into giving him a promotion.
