Television shows are not just given to actors. Sometimes you have to take risks to get them. Chambers learned that lesson when he heard about this innovative new kids show Funnybones. He knew he was perfect for the part of the title character. But the producers felt that Chambers was just not right.

So Chambers stole the script from the casting director’s office and crashed the audition. From the moment he burst in the room it was obvious to everyone that they had found their guy. “It was no doubt in our minds that he was the one!” said producer/director Diane Hartman.

Funnybones was created by the incredibly talented writer Dennis Drake (Down with Love, Legally Blonde 2). Starring alongside Emmy Award winner Michael Earl, Funnybones gave Chambers a chance to really show his acting chops. Working with puppets and animation, Funnybones is a robot with a lot to learn. Funnybones went on to win numerous Emmys.

After the show was completed ETV decided to create a sequel, GeoScout. Equally successful, Chambers again played the title role and went on to be nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Achievement Individual Excellence: Performer.
