Professional Career
Chambers attended the National Youth Music Theatre and Guildford School of Acting. He has starred opposite Matthew Rhys and Kate Ashfield in the British film Fakers.
Tom's interest in dance led him to recreate the sequence from the 1937 RKO film A Damsel in Distress in which Fred Astaire tap dances with a drum kit. The video was sent to casting directors and led to Tom gaining a part in Holby City as cardiothoracic registrar Sam Strachan.. A video of the performance was posted on YouTube prior to Tom's appearance on the BBC TV pro-celebrity dance show Strictly Come Dancing. He later uploaded a video diary of his rehearsals for the recording. On leaving Holby City they honoured him with a montage of his three years work.
In May 2009, it was announced by Denise Welch on Loose Women that Tom would be joining the fifth series of BBC drama, Waterloo Road as new Executive Head Teacher, Max Tyler to which he appeared in 10 episodes.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or career:
“The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the child’s needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
