Early life
Hammington was born on 31 July 1977 in Wellington, New Zealand, to Bruce William Hammington and casting director, Jan Russ. He is of English descent, tracing his ancestry back to Berkshire, England.

While studying a business degree in university, he decided he needed to take up Asian-language courses to help build up his resume.
