If you're familiar with both "Mad Men" and "L.A. Noire", you've likely noticed that they share a few actors, most obviously Aaron Staton, who plays Ken Cosgrove in Mad Men, and is L.A. Noire's protagonist, Cole Phelps. Some have noticed there's a few more familiar faces, myself included. After playing through the entire game, I was sure there were more Mad Men actors than most people knew.
I searched LAN's IMDB page, checking each actor for appearances in Mad Men. There's more matches than I expected, with twenty different actors appearing in multiple Mad Men episodes, and a further thirty with single-episode appearances.
Below is a list of those actors, sorted first by number of Mad Men appearances, then by billing order in L.A. Noire.

Missing from both IMDB and the game booklet is the character Stuart Barnes, seen in "Buyer Beware". I'm sure it's Patrick Cavanaugh, who plays Smitty Smith on Mad men.
