{“title”: “LA Noire’s Cole Phelps Role Almost Went to a Different Mad Men Star”, “body”: “

The 2011 detective title, LA Noire, published by Grand Theft Auto creators Rockstar Games, featured actor Aaron Staton in the pivotal role of lead character Cole Phelps. Staton was known for his work on the television series Mad Men. However, a recent insight from one of the game’s writers has revealed that the role might have been portrayed by a different, equally recognizable face from the same acclaimed TV drama.

It has come to light that Jon Hamm, another prominent actor from Mad Men, was also under consideration for the part of Cole Phelps. While Aaron Staton ultimately took on the character of Phelps in the game—having also played Ken Cosgrove on Mad Men—the revelation about Hamm’s potential involvement offers an interesting “what if” for fans of the game and the actors alike.
