John M. Slattery, Jr. (born August 13, 1962)[1] is an American actor.

Aside from his current Emmy nominated role as Roger Sterling on AMC's series Mad Men, some of his more notable television roles have included union organizer Al Kahn on Homefront; Senator Walter Mondale in the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon; guest appearances as Sam Truman, Will's brother, on Will & Grace; guest appearances as Michael Cassidy, Amy's estranged husband, on Judging Amy; guest appearances as urine fetish politician Bill Kelley on Sex and the City; principal Dennis Martino on Ed; and college president Peter Benedict on Jack and Bobby. In March 2007, he began a series of appearances on Desperate Housewives portraying a suitor to Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria Parker), later to be her husband, until his character's death in Season 4.

Slattery played Paul Moore, boyfriend of Katherine Watson (portrayed by Julia Roberts) in the film Mona Lisa Smile. He portrayed "Howie" in David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer Prize winning play, Rabbit Hole. He also appeared as a government promoter in the Clint Eastwood feature Flags of our Fathers and Henry Cravely, a CIA official, in Charlie Wilson's War.

In May 2009, Jon Favreau has confirmed that Slattery has joined the cast of Iron Man 2 as Howard Stark, Tony Stark's Dad. [2]

The actor often energetically portrays men significantly older than he is on account of his prematurely gray hair.

Slattery graduated from The Catholic University of America in 1984.[3] He is married to actress Talia Balsam. They have one child.
