Lane Pryce from Mad Men
Lane Pryce (Jared Harris) spent much of his time on the series acting as a voice of reason among the chaos of Sterling Cooper. However, a number of misfortunes took their toll on Pryce, like his family’s homesickness, the abuse of his father, and the weight of his own financial situation, which eventually led him to embezzle from the company. Pryce was so wrought with guilt and humiliation over the debacle that he committed suicide in lieu of facing the embarrassment of being exposed to his colleagues.
