Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Justin Chambers, a former male fashion model who was discovered by a modeling scout in a Paris Metro station and went on a campaign to represent Calvin Klein's fragrance, starred as "Dr. Alex Karev" on ABC's Grey's Anatomy (2005).

Justin Willman Chambers was born on July 11, 1970 in Springfield, Ohio, His is one of five children of Pamela Sue (Willman) and John William Eugene Chambers II, and has English, Irish, and German ancestry. He has a twin brother (named Jason), one older brother, and two older sisters. While on vacation in Paris, he was spotted by an agent and soon went on modeling for Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, and others throughout Europe, Japan and the United States. In the 1990s, he settled in New York, where he studied at H.B. Studios for 4 years. That schooling yielded him appearances in several off-Broadway stage productions and a few television roles.

Chambers' first break came in 1995, a four-month gig on a long-running NBC's daytime soap Another World (1964), then appeared opposite Lolita Davidovich in Harvest of Fire (1996), and in CBS's Rose Hill (1997) opposite Jennifer Garner. After that, he catapulted to the "IT" list of the late 1990s and was described as "part-James Dean, part-Marlon Brando" by Harper's Bazaar in 1998. He made his big screen debut in the featured role of a rich WASP who befriended a Jewish kid in Liberty Heights (1999), a Barry Levinson drama. He then starred as "D'Artagnan" in The Musketeer (2001) alongside Catherine Deneuve and Mena Suvari. He co-starred with Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner (2001).

His career slowed down for a few years, yielding little meaningful exposure in films and on TV, with the exception of a supporting role alongside Uma Thurman and Gena Rowlands in HBO's Hysterical Blindness (2002). In 2005, Chambers made a comeback starring as "Dr. Alex Karev" opposite Katherine Heigl on ABC's Grey's Anatomy (2005). He also starred as obsessed police detective, "Sgt. Matt Parish", in the thriller The Zodiac (2005).

Chambers has five children with his wife, Keisha, a model agency booker, whom he met while he was modeling with Calvin Klein. The two have been married since 1993. A longtime New Yorker, he used to travel back and forth from New York to L.A. while his family was still in New York. They now reside in Los Angeles.

Our kids are in a little band, and they like to play video games, and my wife and I do our best to live a low-key, non-Hollywood kind of life.

Musical shows are really popular because there are lots of talented kids out there that can sing and dance.

Every year, I resolve to take good care of myself and stay in shape.

And I strongly believe people should rescue dogs, or, at the very least, listen to Bob Barker and have your pet spayed or neutered.

Oh, I wish I could tell you I was a Mr. Fix-It, but I am not that kind of guy. I get frustrated so easily.

&#39;Grey&#39;s Anatomy&#39; has given me a lot of security, especially as my kids have grown older. Plus, for the last eight years, I didn&#39;t have to get on a plane and go to do a job out of town or in another part of the world.
