Unveiling Jon Hamm's Shocking Secrets Inside His Mysterious Corner Office [EXCLUSIVE]

Summary

The preview clip introduces Orson offering judgments on his colleagues, highlighting Hamm's exceptional comedic flair as he deviates from his usual dramatic roles.

Hamm's exceptional range is showcased as he continues to venture into different genres, including comedy, drama, and thrillers, defying any typecasting.

Jon Hamm makes a return to the world of workplace narratives in the comedy film Corner Office. Leading the star-studded cast, Hamm portrays Orson, a new employee at The Authority, a corporation, who struggles to connect with his colleagues. However, he discovers a hidden room, which is said to not exist, providing him an escape and the confidence to quickly climb the corporate ladder. Joining Hamm in the cast of Corner Office are Danny Pudi from Community, Sarah Gadon from True Detective, and Christopher Heyerdahl from The Last of Us.

Screen Rant is excited to share an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming movie with a special Corner Office clip. In the video above, viewers are introduced to Orson, played by Hamm, a quirky character who quietly observes his office colleagues while stopping by the water cooler. Orson doesn't hold back when it comes to critiquing his coworkers, even going as far as expressing his disdain for a drawing of the horizon by one of their children, hilariously commenting on its "blatant inaccuracies."

Corner Office Continues Hamm's Best Post-Mad Men Trend

Although Corner Office may place Hamm back into the familiar cycle of his iconic role as Don Draper in Mad Men, the film actually showcases his exceptional comedic talent, which has been on a winning streak since the end of the AMC series. Despite initially leveraging his handsome appearance for more serious projects such as Ben Affleck's The Town and Baby Driver, the Emmy and Golden Globe winner has carved out an even more prominent position in the comedy genre over the past decade. His comedic success began with his highly praised, uncredited role in Bridesmaids.

While Hamm's foray into comedy has been substantial, he has not completely abandoned his dramatic background. He has taken on roles in acclaimed works such as the political thriller Beirut, the neo-noir thriller Bad Times at the El Royale, and the highly anticipated 2022 blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick. His versatility extends to television as well, where he served as the narrator for Legion season 2 and will lead the cast in the upcoming season 5 of Fargo.

Corner Office, in which Hamm's character demonstrates a misanthropic nature reminiscent of Stephen Root's Dilbert from Office Space, further adds to his versatility in comedy. Whether he portrays the smooth business executive Bob Callahan in Tag, the clever private detective in Confess or even a questionable salon owner in The Jesus Rolls, Hamm's refusal to limit himself to one type of role makes him a joy to watch.

Select theaters, digital platforms, and On Demand will offer Corner Office starting in August, with DVD and Blu-ray releases scheduled for September 12.
