Reply | Forward Message #1362 of 18368 |
he's 36 he was 26 when isabella was born. he was married in 1993. he was only 22
when he got married. so yeah he was young. they've been married for 14 years so
despite the young age they must really love each other if they've been married
so long (well long in hollywood anyway) and justin's 1 of 5 kids so i can see
him wanting to have a big family. insteringly enough he has a twin brother.
apprently he agress with the whole young father thing. here's a qoute from an
interview he did: "I've been a parent most of my adult life, so I don't know any
other way," says Chambers, who has coached his twin girls' soccer team. "But
five is enough."

Justin and Keisha have five children. From oldest to youngest, Isabella (b.
1997), twins Maya and Kaila (b. 1999), Eva (b. 2001) and the youngest is their
son Jackson (who is a year or two younger than Eva). and the family beagle,
D'Artagnan, who is named after the lead character Chambers played in The
Musketeer

and here's everything he's done. i loved him in cold case even thought i like
the guy that has his role now. i don't would grey's be as good with out justin?
and would cold case be better with him or they better off with daniel pino?
don't know but here it is:

Justin's young life he was still able to have such a good life with his wife and
children. it also makes since how's been able to play Alex with such easy. alex
who had such a bad early life watchin his father abuse his mother as a kid and
then is able to make a good doctor past all of that. it's just a good
comperison.

Stephie <hornsorhalo@...> wrote: Chambers Shaped By Unique
Upbringing Justin Chambers can take plenty of credit, if you’d call it that,
for Grey’s Anatomy being dubbed “ER on Viagra”.
From the moment the show launched two years ago, Chambers’ arrogant, wise-guy
intern, Alex Karev, became a character that viewers either loved or loathed,
Australia’s Courier-Mail notes.

But Justin Chambers, the Calvin Klein model-turned-actor, couldn’t be less
like his skirt-chasing character.
His career in front of a camera began when a modelling agent noticed him on a
Paris subway, and he has arguably the most settled private life of the entire
Grey’s Anatomy cast.

He has been married to wife Keisha for 14 years and is a father of five -
Isabella, twins Maya and Kaila, Eva and Jackson.

The other surprising fact about Justin Chambers, 37, is that he travelled an
unconventional path to a career in showbiz.

One of five children himself, Justin had a sometimes traumatic upbringing in
small town Springfield, Ohio. As a result of his parents having jobs as
sheriff’s deputies, he grew accustomed to tales of murder and lawlessness.

Never was this darkness more apparent than when Chambers’ high-school friend,
a teenager named Rodney, met a grisly end.

A man from the neighborhood suspected Rodney and other boys were stealing from
him. The man reacted by bursting into Rodney’s home, shooting him, his baby
brother and their siblings.

A second incident, where a woman and her son were butchered by her boyfriend,
also left Justin Chambers rattled.

“It was kind of nasty, some of that stuff,” Chambers says. “I did a movie
about the Zodiac serial killer (in which he played a 1960s detective) and it
(experiences from his teens and having cops as parents) played into that.

“You know, weird things happen in small towns,” he says of Springfield. “The
cities get the brunt of violence, but a lot of funky (twisted) things happen in
small towns. There was, like, a year of murder after murder after murder.

“Three friends of mine were murdered. It’s really awful.”

No surprise, then, that Justin Chambers opted not to follow his parents into a
career in law enforcement.

After being signed as a model by an agent while on holiday in Paris, he scored
contracts to work across Europe, Japan and the U.S.

He had designs on an acting career, however, and moved to New York for four
years of study at the renowned H.B. Studios.

Chambers faced a dilemma when he was signed for the biggest break of his
career - the role of insecure Alex Karev in Grey’s Anatomy.

He was based in Los Angeles during the first year of Grey’s Anatomy filming
while his wife and children stayed in New York. His family has since moved to
L.A.

It is still difficult, he adds, combining duties as a dad with a schedule that
can keep him on set for up to 16 hours a day.

“We’re here a lot of hours, so it’s either here or home. That’s my life,” he
says. But we’re very excited (about Grey’s Anatomy’s success).

“We’re happy people have embraced the show, even though it’s out of our
control, whether people watch us or not. We’ve all had our highs and lows as
actors.

“This is the pinnacle of our careers, but you don’t take it too seriously
because in a couple of years it might not exist. You just ride with it and try
to relish it. It does feel nice though that there’s a little more security in my
life.”

Chambers has lost none of his passion for playing Alex, who has shown glimpses
of humanity that few knew existed.

“It’s great that the show allows the audience to see how these people in the
medical field actually are,” says Chambers, pictured below with co-stars
Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight.
“Yes, the show is soapy and about the relationships. When you (real-life
medicos) work and are forced to be with people a lot of hours, there’s a lot of
sleeping around going on, stuff like that.

“But they (interns) are human, they are fallible, they can be immature.
Sometimes we don’t see that doctors are human and are flawed. This, I think, is
a big aspect of the success of our show.”
