Armand Douglas "Armie" Hammer (born August 28, 1986) is an American film and television actor featured in the film The Social Network.

Clint Eastwood is currently developing a film on the controversial life of J. Edgar Hoover -which is set to star Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role - and The Social Network's Armie Hammer has just been cast as his GAY love interest!

According to reports, Hammer will play Clyde Tolson, the Associate Director of the FBI, which was founded by Hoover in 1935. Although it's never been proven, many have speculated that the two men were romantically involved.

Hammer was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Dru Ann (née Mobley) and businessman Michael Armand Hammer. His father owns several businesses, including Knoedler Publishing and Hammer Productions (a film/television production company). His great-grandfather was oil tycoon and philanthropist Armand Hammer, who was of Russian Jewish descent. Hammer was raised on the Westside of Los Angeles and the Cayman Islands. As a child, he also lived in Highland Park, a town in Dallas, for several years. He attended Faulkner's Academy in Governor's Harbour, Cayman, Grace Christian Academy in the Cayman Islands (a school founded by his father), and then later went to LA Baptist High School in the San Fernando Valley. He later attended Pasadena City College in Pasadena, California and went on to transfer to the University of California, Los Angeles where he then dropped out to pursue a career in acting.

Hammer is married to television personality Elizabeth Chambers.
