Category: Trivia Fact

To physically represent Pete Campbell's escalating corporate anxiety, fading youth, and miserable marriage, actor Vincent Kartheiser committed heavily to the role's cosmetic demands. Rather than wearing a bald cap or relying strictly on makeup, he grabbed an electric razor and actively shaved his actual hairline back a few inches every new season. This drastic physical change made Pete's transition from a fresh-faced junior executive to a balding, bitter partner feel incredibly authentic.
