Alison Herman TV Critic The protagonist of “Grimsburg” looks and acts nothing like Jon Hamm, though the actor lends his voice — and backing as an executive producer — to the lead of Fox’s latest animated sitcom.

Detective Marvin Flute is a scruffy, potbellied deadbeat who’s somewhat skilled at solving crimes, if nowhere near as much as he thinks he is.

Flute is a far cry from the debonair types Hamm is best known for playing, from Don Draper on “Mad Men” to Paul Marks on “The Morning Show.” But with animation, Hamm can separate his voice from his famously handsome face, even roughing up his signature baritone to sound significantly less suave.
