I think he'd fit in nicely to the type of stuff Ed Harris or William Hurt usually do. Also, he'd make a fine Jack Ryan IMO.

While I won't disagree with your characterization of him, I've never seen anyone other than John Hamm in everything he's done. While it's true that the Don Draper character is certainly much "weightier" than his comedy or other dramatic roles, I just can't get past the idea that it's John Hamm.
I've never seen him "disappear" into a character like all great actors do.
