Briefly about Justin Chambers
Born in Springfield, Ohio, Justin initially launched his career as a model after a scout approached and signed him in Paris.
This led to a number of collaborations with various prestigious brands and designers, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein and Armani. Justin kicked off his acting career in 1995, with a recurring role in the series “Another World,” followed by parts in TV series and made-for-TV movies such as “Swift Justice” (1996), “Rose Hill” (1997), and “Four Corners” (1998).
He made his movie debut in 1999 in the comedy movie “Liberty Heights”, alongside Adrian Brody, Ben Foster and Orlando Jones.
Justin stepped into the new millennium portraying Massimo in the 2001 romantic-comedy film “The Wedding Planner”, sharing the screen with Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey. The movie was a significant box office success, grossing over $95 million against a $35 million budget.
Additionally, he was cast as the main character d’Artagnan in the action-adventure film “The Musketeer,” which came out just a couple of days before the September 11 attacks, and so heavily underperformed at the box office. Continuing to build his profile, he starred in the TV movie “Hysterical Blindness” and the drama film “Leo” both in 2002, then in the procedural/police series “Cold Case.” In 2005, he landed his most notable role as Alex Karev in the medical/drama series “Grey’s Anatomy,” alongside Ellen Pompeo, Katherine Heigl, and Patrick Dempsey. Created and written by Shonda Rhimes, the series has run for 18 seasons, although Justin exited the show after 16th season, reportedly leaving the show to diversify his roles, and introduce some variety into his acting career and life.
His performance as a surgical intern who later became a pediatric surgeon earned him praise and critical acclaim, receiving over 10 nominations for multiple People Choice Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2006, he and the other cast members garnered the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
During his lengthy stint on “Grey’s Anatomy,” he starred in several movies, including “the Zodiac” (2005), “Lakeview Terrace” (2008), and “Broken City.” In 2009 he made a guest appearance in the “Private Practice.”
In 2022, he is set to appear in the biographical-drama mini-series “The Offer,” alongside Miles Teller, Matthew Goode, and Juno Temple.
