The year 2008 was a turning point in the actor’s career. He landed his first leading role in a biographical film Billy: The Early Years, where he portrayed Billy Graham. Hammer’s first big role was a huge success. He was even nominated for the Epiphany Prize. The actor was suddenly attacked by armies of fans. Many young girls were hoping to invite Armie Hammer to a birthday or simply get an autograph.
