Eric "Doc" Hammer (born February 2, 1965 in Ledyard, Connecticut) is an American writer, artist, voice actor, director, producer, and musician best known for The Venture Bros. (alongside co-creator and real life Heterosexual Life Partner Jackson Publick).
Due to a pigmentation condition, his hair naturally grows in both black and blonde, giving him his unique trademark look. He was injured in an accident that left him a paraplegic for a time, but regained the use of his legs.
Hammer was formerly married to Lisa Hammer (née Houle), a singer and musician (Mors Syphilitica, Radiana) who was also the voice actress for Triana Orpheus on The Venture Brothers.
Voltaire is a long-time musical collaborator and the two have a Friendly Rivalry situation.
