Crushable Interview: Mad Men’s Danny Strong
When we first saw Danny Strong at a party last year, our first thought wasn’t “That guy looks like he’s going to be on Mad Men!” We were too busy freaking out that we were actually meeting Jonathon from the trio, the nerdy villains that dominated season six of Buffy, and who fangirls like me usually have to go to Comic-Con to see.

Crushable’s Guide to the New Guys On ‘Mad Men’
Don’t think that we haven’t been paying attention to you this season, Mad Men.

Vietnam! But most importantly: a lot more 20-somethings goofing off in the lounge. We may have lost Kinsey and Sal, but now we have “that jock-jerk art guy,” “the really cute but definitely an asshole freelancer,” “the Jew” and “the lesbian.” Here’s Crushable’s guide to the new guys and gals on the show!
