Vincent Kartheiser starred as Pete Campbell in "Mad Men," an ad agent who was always trying to prove himself and eventually did when he was named junior partner. Kartheiser had been in the entertainment industry for well over a decade when he was cast in "Mad Men," with some of his notable works including 2002's "Angel" and 2004's "Dandelion." Since "Mad Men" ended, Kartheiser has had episodes-long arcs on multiple television series such as 2016's "Casual," 2019's "Proven Innocent," and 2021's "Titans."
"Mad Men" didn't just give Kartheiser a paycheck and name recognition — it also introduced him to his future wife, Alexis Bledel, best known for her work on "Gilmore Girls." Kartheiser and Bledel met in 2012 when Bledel had a three-episode part in the show. By 2014, the couple married and in 2015, they welcomed their first and only child together. In 2022, however, the couple announced that they were getting a divorce.
"They didn't have a huge circle of friends but they both made up for it with very thriving and busy careers — almost to a fault," a source told Us Weekly of Kartheiser and Bledel's relationship. "Vincent has always been a little bit of a lone wolf and he's going to benefit from time on his own," the source added.
