Ohio, in the town of Springfield. The boy's family was large, and his father worked as an assistant to the sheriff. By the way, Justin has a twin brother.
The young man’s career began completely unexpectedly for himself - during a trip around Paris at one of the city metro stations he was met by an employee of one of the modeling agencies and offered him a job. So Justin Chambers became a popular and famous model.

In 1999, the actor made his debut on the big screen in the film “Heights of Freedom”, where he got the role of Trey. 2001 was quite successful for a talented, but still little-known actor.

The series "Anatomy Gray" and worldwide recognition

By the way, over time, Catherine Heigl became his partner in the series.
