Hamm, who did not wish to pursue a "normal career", moved to Los Angeles permanently in 1995. He moved into a house with four other aspiring actors and began working as a waiter while attending auditions. He acted in theater, including as Flavius in a production of Shakespeare's Timon of Athens with the Sacred Fools Theater Company.
Looking older than his age, he found it difficult to find work as an actor, despite representation by the William Morris Agency. In 1998, after he had failed to get any acting work for three years, William Morris dropped him as a client. He continued working as a waiter and, briefly, worked as a set designer for a softcore pornography movie.
He decided that his 30th birthday would be his deadline to succeed in Hollywood, and has said: "You either suck that up and find another agent, or you go home and say you gave it a shot, but that's the end of that.
The last thing I wanted to be out here was one of those actors who's 45 years old, with a tenuous grasp of their own reality, and not really working much. So I gave myself five years. I said, if I can't get it going by the time I'm 30, I'm in the wrong place. And as soon as I said that, it's like I started working right away."
Education
Hamm attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre. His educational background served as a solid foundation for his acting career, allowing him to hone his craft before making his mark in Hollywood.
His first acting role was as Winnie-the-Pooh in first grade. At 16, he was cast as Judas in the play Godspell and enjoyed the experience, though he did not take acting seriously. He attended John Burroughs School, a private school in Ladue, where he was a member of the football, baseball and swim teams. During this time, he dated Sarah Clarke, who became an actress.
