Jon Hamm Grills Murder Suspect – You Won’t Believe What Happens Next

The Big Fix – A Jack Bergin Mystery is the latest podcast series on Audible Original, featuring Jon Hamm as private detective Jack Bergin. Set in a different era than 2022’s The Big Lie – A Jack Bergin Mystery, this new series finds Bergin investigating a gruesome murder at the behest of an old love interest. Produced by John Mankiewicz, who has worked on House of Cards and Bosch, the show also stars Ana de la Reguera, Alia Shawkat, John Slattery, and Omar Epps.

In this scene from “The Big Fix: A Jack Bergin Mystery”, starring Jon Hamm as Jack Bergin and Sosie Bacon, who has been recognized for roles in productions like the 2022 film “Smile”, we see Bergin interrogating Robin, a character under suspicion. The purpose of this interrogation is to ensure the safety of his sister, Charlie. You can watch the clip from “The Big Fix” here below.

The Big Fix: A Jack Bergin Mystery Continues To Showcase Jon Hamm’s Range

Jon Hamm gained wide recognition through his performances on Mad Men, yet he has demonstrated his versatility in taking up diverse roles. In April 2025, Hamm hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth time, and his role in films like Tag demonstrates his eagerness to display comedic goofiness on-screen. His extended role as the bumbling Dr. Drew Baird in 30 Rock underscores his knack for physical comedy. Conversely, The Big Fix showcases Hamm’s ability to captivate an audience solely with his powerful voice.

Just like “Mad Men,” “The Big Fix” is a series that takes place during the 1950s, but it offers a distinctly unique storyline. The character Don Draper, portrayed by Jon Hamm in “Mad Men,” is quite different from Jack Bergin, even as the narrative of “Mad Men” progresses across its seven seasons. A more apt comparison might be Hamm’s role as Joe Finney, a detective he plays in Steven Soderbergh’s “No Sudden Move,” which is also set in 1954. Despite their similarities, Bergin is unlike Finney due to Bergin’s relentless pursuit of truth, even if it means going beyond the limits of the law.

It’s worth noting that besides The Big Fix and its precursor, Bryan Cranston has also made a mark in other audio dramas. For instance, he starred in the scripted psychological thriller American Hostage, a project currently being adapted into a TV series with Cranston reprising his character. In this production, Cranston plays a radio host turned unintentional hostage negotiator, a role quite distinct from his calculated Jack Bergin character in The Big Fix. While there’s no confirmed news about Jack Bergin making it to the screen, the success of previous podcast projects in transitioning to television might pave the way for such an opportunity.
