Mad Men’s Vincent Kartheiser to star in new series about debt

The series will focus on a man who, having lost “everything important to him,” teams up with a debt collection agency that acts as a front for some do-gooders. These modern-day Robin Hoods collect and repossess from the rich to give to the poor somehow. Kartheiser will likely play said man with nothing left to lose, although we suppose he could easily portray the guy who runs the operation. He’s always looked more than comfortable sitting at the head of the table.

The erstwhile Pete Campbell is also working on Nat Geo’s Saints And Strangers, a scripted miniseries about the “divide between the spiritual and the mercenary motivations of the pilgrims and the lasting impact of the pilgrims on America.” Kartheiser will play William Bradford, one of the titular saints, alongside Ron Livingston, Anna Camp (True Blood), and Californication’s Natascha McElhone.
