Hamm's first acting role was as Winnie the Pooh in first grade;〔 at 16, he was cast as Judas in ''Godspell'', and enjoyed the experience, though he did not take acting seriously. Hamm attended the private John Burroughs School in Ladue, where he was a member of the football, baseball, and swim teams.〔 During this time, he dated future actress Sarah Clarke. His father died when he was 20. Following graduation in 1989, Hamm enrolled at the University of Texas, where he was a member of the Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity. While Hamm was attending the University of Texas he was arrested for participating in a violent hazing incident that occurred in November 1990 in which another student, Mark Sanders, was beaten with a paddle and a broom, where Hamm was leading Sanders around the fraternity house with the claw of a hammer beneath Sander's genitals, and had his clothes set on fire. The incident led to the fraternity being shutdown on campus.〔〔〔 Hamm completed the terms of a deferred adjudication and the charges were dismissed in August 1995.〔〔〔 Hamm enrolled at the University of Missouri.〔 At Missouri he answered an advertisement from a theater company looking for players in a production of ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'', auditioned, and was cast in the production.〔 Other roles followed, such as Leon Czolgosz in ''Assassins''.
