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.
He currently narrates the series The Real A&E broadcast on Sky1 Daily. Chambers will star in the stage version tour of Top Hat, beginning in November 2011. Tom was interviewed in June 2012 with questions about his career and in particular his role in Top Hat

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or career:
“... a supportive husband is an absolute requirement for professional women.... He is something she looks for, and when she finds him, she marries him.”
—Alice S. Rossi (b. 1922)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
