Early life
Hammington was born on 31 July 1977 in Wellington, New Zealand, the son of casting director Jan Russ.
While in business school, he decided he needed to take up an Asian language to help build up his resume. Due to the popularity of Japanese and Chinese language courses, he decided to study Korean. He studied the Korean language for 18 months before becoming a transfer student at Korea University in 2002.
Personal life
In October 2013 Hammington married Korean Jung Yumi. They had two wedding ceremonies, a traditional Korean one in Korea and another in his home country, Australia, at the Melbourne Zoo. The couple welcomed a son named William on 12 July 2016. On July 2017 Sam and his wife announce on "The Return of Superman" that they are expecting their second child early next year.
