The television show Mad Men premiered in 2007 and almost immediately developed a cult following. Five years later, its characters' '60s lifestyle is just as engaging and entrancing. Minnesota native Vincent Kartheiser plays Pete Campbell, the love-to-hate-him — or maybe hate-to-love-him — ladder-climbing accounts man on the show. Vincent's been in numerous independent films, feature films and television shows, but he's been making his biggest waves as the troubled Pete Campbell. Jill Riley sat down with him to talk about his take on the Mad Men character and play the songs that he's currently listening to.
