Early Life & Education

Justin Chambers was born on July 11, 1970, in Springfield, Ohio, where he was also raised.

As a child, he aspired to become a dentist. He and his fraternal twin brother experienced frequent hospitalizations due to persistent bouts of pneumonia.

Career

Justin Chambers began his professional journey as a fashion model in the early 1990s after being discovered during a trip to Paris. He modelled for high-end brands such as Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, and Armani, gaining international exposure through campaigns across Europe and Japan.

Transitioning into acting, he made his television debut in 1995 with a recurring role on the soap opera Another World. His early film appearances included Liberty Heights (1999) and The Wedding Planner (2001), where he starred opposite Jennifer Lopez, while also taking on guest roles in series like Cold Case and Private Practice.

His breakout role came in 2005 when he was cast as Dr. Alex Karev on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. Initially a short-term character, Karev quickly became a series regular, and Chambers portrayed him for 15 years across 16 seasons, appearing in more than 340 episodes before departing in 2020.

His performance earned widespread acclaim for transforming Karev from a cocky intern into a compassionate pediatric surgeon and leader.

After leaving Grey’s Anatomy, Chambers took time off to focus on his family and personal life. He returned to acting in 2022, portraying Marlon Brando in the Paramount+ limited series The Offer, which chronicled the making of The Godfather. Since then, he has continued to appear in independent projects and remains selective about his film and television roles.
