To infuse his character of Mason Skiles with that pragmatic, horse-trading demeanor, actor Jon Hamm drew inspiration from real-life statesmen. "I've had the good fortune to meet several career diplomats in my life and it's always interesting to hear their take on situations," Hamm said. "When people live in a country not their own they need to have tremendous respect for local culture and local politics to understand what's actually happening on the ground. That's pretty much what I tried to do with the character of Mason. He's a facilitator. He wants both sides to win. He's not there to undermine the other government at all. There's a great deal of respect and intelligence that goes along with that approach."
