Christina Hendricks appreciates 'Mad Men' for career growth

Christina Hendricks, known for her role in "Mad Men," is thankful for how the series affected her career. In a recent interview, she shared that the show opened many doors for her. After "Mad Men" ended in 2015, she found herself able to choose projects more carefully. Hendricks explained that each new project comes with its own challenges. She mentioned her work on "Good Girls," a show that was quite different from "Mad Men." This role helped her explore comedy, which led to new opportunities in that genre. She has been receiving many comedy scripts since then, something she enjoys. The actress emphasized the importance of thinking long-term about her roles. She considers whether a project is a short-term commitment or something she might be involved in for years, like "Mad Men." Hendricks described her decision-making process as focused on storytelling and whether she can bring something unique to a role. Hendricks recently joined the cast of "Good American Family," where she plays a character named Cynthia Mans. She was cast just 30 hours before filming began, so she had to prepare quickly. This included reading scripts and researching the story. She enjoyed the chance to take on a different kind of character, describing it as a fun experience. Overall, Hendricks is excited about her evolving career and the new challenges it brings. New episodes of "Good American Family" air on Wednesdays on Hulu.
