34!! His work provides examples of:
35
36* BaritoneOfStrength: His voice is very deep and he's played a few {{Action Hero}}es in his time.
37* GeniusBruiser: His characters may be big and muscular but that doesn't mean they're stupid.
38* MrFanservice: He is very attractive and in some of his roles this quality is often exalted.
39* OneHeadTaller: Hammer is extremely tall and usually towers over his male co-stars, to say nothing of the female cast.
40* TheOtherMarty: Completed filming a role in ''Film/{{Next Goal Wins|2023}}'', but after his public reputation was ruined by controversies, the role was then reshot with Creator/WillArnett. Reportedly the part was originally a cameo but then expanded upon once Arnett took over.
41* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: A series of scandals, including numerous abuse allegations and even accusations of [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic]] fantasies went viral in early 2021, leading him to be dropped by his talent agency and publicist and abandon numerous film roles, putting his career in jeopardy (his remaining projects were shot in 2019, with ''Film/{{Death on the Nile|2022}}'' waylaid by the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic). He was investigated in 2023 by the LAPD on the allegations made against him, but the department announced that further investigations were stopped due to lack of evidence. Despite this, his career is pretty much over and he was last seen by photographers [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen selling timeshares in the Bahamas]].
42* StarDerailingRole: Just about averted. The successive flops of ''Film/{{The Lone Ranger|2013}}'' and ''[[Film/TheManFromUNCLE2015 The Man From U.N.C.L.E.]]'' killed off his predicted career as an action movie leading man, but he made a successful transition to character roles in smaller-scale but still successful films. Unfortunately it didn't last (see Role Ending Misdemeanor above)....
43* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
44** He was cast as ComicBook/{{Batman}} in Creator/GeorgeMiller's ComicBook/{{Justice League|Of America}} film, ''Script/JusticeLeagueMortal'', before the project was scrapped.
45** He was set to star in the movie ''Film/{{Shotgun Wedding|2023}}'' with Music/JenniferLopez, but leaked texts and accusations of abuse and cannibalism caused him to drop out, being replaced by Creator/JoshDuhamel. He [[TheOtherMarty would also be dropped from]] the Creator/ParamountPlus series ''The Offer'' (replaced by Creator/MilesTeller), the Broadway production of Creator/TracyLetts's ''Theatre/TheMinutes'' (replaced by Creator/NoahReid), the Creator/{{Starz}} series ''Series/{{Gaslit}}'' (replaced by Creator/DanStevens), and Creator/TaikaWaititi's ''Film/{{Next Goal Wins|2023}}'' (replaced by Creator/WillArnett).
