Hammer was a basketball player at the University of Southern California, and competed in volleyball at the 1964 Summer Olympics. As an actor, he played the role of Captain Richard "Dick" Hammer in the first season of the Jack Webb produced television show Emergency!, which debuted on January 15, 1972. He left the show midway through the first season, because he felt that being a real-life firefighter was more rewarding than playing a fictional one. He returned to the LACoFD and retired with the rank of Captain.

Hammer portrayed the Marlboro Man in cigarette advertisements in the 1970s.
