* BadassBaritone: He has a very deep voice.

* TheCharmer: Don Draper is the most notable example but most of his characters qualify as this trope.

* MrFanservice: Near-universally regarded as one of the handsomest actors currently working.

* PunnyName: Many puns have been based on his last name. He even did an ''[=SNL=]'' sketch hawking "Jon Hamm's John Ham, the ham you can eat in the bathroom."
** Mentions in Travel Man that he was born in the year of the pig. "Hamm, get it?"
* RatedMForManly: With roles alternating suave and rough charm. Don Draper is ''the'' man and inaugurated a throwback to the 50s model of stoic masculinity.
* StarMakingRole: Redefining modern masculinity in the process, Don Draper put him on everybody's radar, and in the cover of plenty of magazines about fashion, style and general handsomeness.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He pretty much epitomizes this trope.
