Before John Slattery became Roger Sterling, the womanizing silver fox of AMC's Mad Men, he was a hard-working New York stage actor, appearing in plays like Rabbit Hole and Three Days of Rain. But when he first got to the Big Apple, he had to live with his sister and take any audition he could get. Even if it involved having to dye his hair tar-black. Long story short…We're glad he's been able to keep his locks their natural color for the past seven seasons on TV.
