Jon Hamm's journey has an actor is why hes so good at acting. I'm a guy so I might be wrong but I think the "tall dark and handsome" means "a good looking man with an interesting life."
I think the term originally and traditionally applied to a white male over six feet tall with dark features--dark according to white people--to include dark brown or black hair, dark eyes and olive or tan skin. But of course people can use it however they choose these days because the world is diverse and not only caucasian men possess these features. In fact (and obviously) men of other ethnicities possess these features even more so.
My husband! He is 6'1 dark hair, hazel blue eyes. He works outside so in the summer he gets really tan and stays that way for months. He is also of French / Native American heritage.
Yes, there was a film "Tall, Dark and Handsome" (1941) but the term (in Hollywood) was said by
Mae West in the early 1930's regarding Cary Grant's character.

Um, not to me (a girl). Yeah, I know that much of this is subjective, but the phrase in bold above applies more to attractive men, but not "tall, dark, and handsome". These men fit the category of attractive, but not TDH: Robert Redford, Michael J. Fox, Dustin Hoffmann, and I would even say Jeff Goldblum. JG is tall and dark, but not the classic "handsome" looks, but more in the "interesting" category.
When you hear "tall dark and handsome", what comes to mind?
