We continue our interview with Mad Men’s Michael Gladis where we find out how he got started as an actor. We talked about his favorite scenes playing Paul Kinsey. There is footage from different Mad Men shows including scenes from Season 3 which are not yet available on DVD, but AMC TV was kind enough to provide us with. We asked Michael if he will be in Season 4, and we asked him to sing for us like he did on the show.
Michael is skilled in boxing, fencing, chess, art and several other activities. He is a Renaissance Man of sorts. Michael is certainly an example of how pipe smokers are special people. We also continue to talk about pipe smoking and discuss Michael’s thoughts on how the political environment has drastically changed for smokers.
On Mad Men, in the 60’s, you could publicly smoke anywhere, and now there is almost nowhere you can smoke in public. We asked about New York City’s ban on all flavored tobaccos. Find out what Michael had to say about that. You might be surprised. We conclude Part II with more Mad Men Trivia at the end.

Really enjoyed the second part of this very cool interview. I am glad AMC had the good sense to realize they have a hit on their hand. I am sure they got some negative mail for the smoking and drinking. I have been told that the show is doing well in the U.K. I am waiting for Netflix to start delivering season 2 today. I look forward to seeing Michael’s character on the show developing. Thanks Kevin. Good work.

Thanks dunendain.
As you can imagine, I have Season 1 & 2 on DVD.
What’s really cool is that they are releasing season 3 on DVD early.
Usually, the last season comes out on DVD right before the season airs, which is August.
Season 3 will be out on March 23. Let’s race to see who gets it first!
