Sound of Music - Nicholas Hammond
Nicholas Hammond, the son of an actress, began his
acting career at the age of 10 when he appeared in
the movie "Lord of the Flies." His first
major role, however, was as Friedrich von Trapp, the
oldest son in the singing family.
Hammond continued acting after "The Sound of
Music," appearing on television soap operas, on
Broadway and in the leading role on "The
Amazing Spider-Man" television series for two
years (1977-1979). Even though he had a busy career,
Hammond also managed to earn a degree from Princeton
University.
Several years after the Spider-Man series, Hammond
moved to Australia and continued his acting career in
Australian television, often appearing in miniseries.
Today, Hammond writes for Australian television as
well as continuing to act on TV shows.
