One day, he plays the most famous twins since the Olsens on 2010’s “The Social Network”. A few years later, he stars alongside Johnny Depp in the lead role in 2013’s “The Lone Ranger.” It is possible that young actor Armie Hammer may not have many big and small screen credits to his name yet, but his success in recent years shows that he is a promising force to be reckoned with.
Born on August 28, 1986 to parents Michael and Dru Ann Hammer, Armie spent her early childhood years moving between Los Angeles, Texas, and the Cayman Islands. By the time he reached his teens, the family had moved back to Los Angeles, where Armie still makes her home. Armie’s immediate family includes his younger brother, Victor, and his wife, Elizabeth Chambers.
Armie comes from a prominent family that includes her great-grandfather, oil tycoon, Armand Hammer, maternal grandfather and real estate developer from Tulsa, Doug Mobley, and Russian-born paternal great-grandmother and actress, Olga Vadina. His own parents are no strangers to prominence, as they run the Armand Hammer Foundation, a philanthropic organization named after his great-grandfather. His entrepreneur father is also the owner, founder, or board member of many other organizations and companies, including the Hammer International Foundation, Los Angeles Dream Center, Pepperdine University, Oral Roberts University, Hammer Galleries, and Hammer Productions. Mom Dru Ann serves alongside her husband on many of his business and board involutions.
It was Armie’s father’s love for the movie “The Firm” that started the family’s relationship with the Cayman Islands in the 1990s. After frequent travel, the family moved to the Cayman Islands in 1993, where Michael founded Grace Christian Academy, a private school. While there, Armie’s father also founded a Christian radio station that served the Cayman Islands. Armie attended the school her father founded while living in the Caribbean.
After the family returned to Southern California, Armie attended Los Angeles Baptist High School before dropping out of the eleventh grade to pursue acting. Although her parents run Hammer Productions, a film production company, Armie’s decision to enter that industry, especially after leaving school, left a bit of a rift in her family. However, as Armie grew in his acting career, he became involved in college-level studies at both Pasadena City College and UCLA.
Armie grew his acting career organically, beginning with one-off appearances on a variety of television shows. Between 2005 and 2007, she appeared in “Arrested Development”, “Veronica Mars” and “Desperate Housewives”. He also had a minor role in the 2006 film version of “Flicka.” His cast fortunes began to change throughout 2008 and 2009, when Armie landed recurring roles on the television shows “Gossip” and “Reaper,” as well as roles of increasing importance in the films “Blackout,” “Spring Breakdown. “and” 2081 “. Armie also played Billy Graham in “Billy: The Early Years.”
Ever since landing the roles of the two Winklevoss twins on “The Social Network,” Armie’s star has been in the ascendancy. He followed “The Social Network” with roles in 2011’s “J. Edgar” and 2012’s “Mirror Mirror” opposite Julia Roberts. He made a big hit when he landed the role of the Lone Ranger in the film of the same title, a film endowed with the epic acting weight of Johnny Depp playing Tonto. “The Lone Ranger” also stars Hollywood stars William Fichtner and Helena Bonham Carter, leaving Armie surrounded by decades of acting excellence.
The next few years look just as bright for Armie Hammer. He has been named by the casts of the films “The Man from UNCLE” and “2:22” and is rumored to be linked to “Serpent Girl” with actresses Helen Hunt and Malin Akerman. Armie has also tapped into his acting talents in recent voice acting roles on “The Simpsons” and “American Dad.” As her popularity continues to grow by leaps and bounds, it is increasingly clear that Armie can look forward to exciting opportunities in the future. Having already co-starred against some of the biggest names in Hollywood, one can only wonder who he will pair up with next.
Armie married his wife Elizabeth Chambers on May 20, 2010 after a nine-month engagement. Chambers, who also spent her formative years in California, has gained recognition as a model and actress. Most recently, Chambers has served as a reporter for Current TV, with additional spots for on-air feature stories with The Speed Channel, NBC, Fox, and E! Entertainment. The couple divided their time between Los Angeles and Chambers’ hometown of San Antonio, Texas. As Armie travels to her filming locations across the country, Chambers has opened a bakery in the Alamo Heights neighborhood.
