| Sure, Justin Chambers plays a sexy Seattle Grace resident
on Grey’s Anatomy, but did you know he was first discovered on a subway in
Paris? Oui, theece eez twue (we say with our sad-excuse-for-a French accent). Chambers
began his career as a professional model working throughout Europe, Japan and
the U.S. with contracts at Calvin Klein and Armani, among others. But, he is an
American born and raised—in Springfield, Ohio, to be exact. Setting
his sights on acting, Chambers moved to New York and studied for four years at
H.B. Studios and Ron Stetson Studios. His training garnered him several television
roles, including Another World, New York Undercover, Rose Hill, with Jennifer
Garner, and Four Corners, with Ann-Margret. Described as "part James
Dean, part Marlon Brando" (Harper's Bazaar, 1998), Chambers got his big break
when he was cast in his first feature film, Liberty Heights, directed by Barry
Levinson. As a privileged but good-hearted troublemaker, he proved that he had
the acting chops to hold his own opposite co-star Adrien Brody, and soon went
on to play the lead role of D'Artagnan in Universal's action/adventure, The Musketeer.
Additionally Chambers starred in the hit romantic comedy The Wedding Planner with
Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey, the thriller The Zodiac with Philip Baker
Hall, and HBO's critically-acclaimed Hysterical Blindness, in which he played
Uma Thurman's love interest. Chambers currently resides in NY with his wife
and five children. - description by ABC.com |
