'Mad Men' star: 'Pete is more confident' to be overshadowed by Don Draper (Jon Hamm).
However, the actor insisted that Pete will become more confident as the fourth season of the show continues.
"There's only one Don Draper," he told TV Guide. "When you work alongside somebody like that, you make your peace with being a beta male."
He added: "Pete got a promotion, he's feeling more comfortable with his status, and he knows more about who he is. His angst is down and his confidence is up."
He also explained that the womanising aspect of the character would be reduced in the new episodes.
"It was as if Pete had to take on the image of the playboy only to realize he isn't really that guy," he suggested.
Kartheiser, who previously admitted that he rides the bus in LA to avoid being recognised, confirmed that he still takes public transport to work, despite the success of Mad Men.
He said: "People see me on the streets of LA and they must think, 'Hey, there goes that guy from Mad Men. But look at him, he's all sweaty.' "
