Mad Men's Premiere Featured My So-Called Life's Brian Krakow — 20 Years Later!

Even the biggest My So-Called Life fan may have missed the gigantic Easter egg on the Mad Men premiere this week: Brian Krakow. Actor Devon Gummersall appeared on the episode as Peggy's date, Stevie Wolcott. In an interview with Vulture, Elisabeth Moss explained her (totally natural) reaction to finding out Gummersall would be playing her date: "I f*cking flipped out. I don't remember if I ever told him that, but I was thrilled and very, very excited I was able to play with him. He's so great on the show, he's perfect." We agree, and in his honor, let's take a look at his later years — post giant curly hair phase.
