Other actors have petitioned directly to carry on their cushty TV work. Mad Men doesn't pay as well as some television acting gigs, but as a consistent job, it's not bad apparently Vincent Kartheiser (Pete) would wind up his fellow actors during the first season by predicting it would never survive, much to Rich Sommer's (Harry) consternation. Another member of the supporting cast, Kevin Rahm, actively pitched a Better Call Saul-style spin-off for Mad Men that would star his character Ted Chaough and Vincent Kartheisers Pete Campbell. Set in the seventies. With the pair of them making a new life for themselves in Los Angeles. It's quite possible that he was kidding but, honestly, the set up is kind of irresistible. The two characters went off to California to seek their fortune with a advertising agency of their own at the end of season seven, with Chaough predicting The Odd Couple in L.A. but theyre both dirty. Two Felixes. Either that, or a cross dressing comedy with the pair. Isn't gonna happen.
