I would say that not everyone has the ambition to be high profile. Not everyone wants to live that life. Jon Hamm makes a shit ton of money doing VO commercial work and is never followed by paparazzi. Michael C Hall will retire rich and stress free making network TV. Justin was known as a writer first before he was an actor. Not everyone wants to be picked apart.

Jon Hamm is also in movies and other TV shows regularly, frankly. He’s working plenty, even as a regular actor too, though often more in comedy lately.

I mean he was recently in Top Gun: Maverick, I'm pretty sure he's doing well for himself.

That’s a good point, but man it’s sad to see them not in other roles

I think Justin also got a taste of fame dating Jennifer Aniston and wanted no part of it.

He was in an Apple series called Mosquito Coast. It's on Apple so you might not have heard of it.

I think Hamm hasn’t done serious drama since Don. He doesn’t need to, he’d get comparisons, he wants to explore his comedy side.

For a more clear cut, often announced, career path look at the indie actors who do occasional mainstream films for the paychecks. Daniel Radcliffe is one, a few people from Marvel and DC have said the same. Adam Driver?
