Ambyr Childers was 12 years old when she debuted on the small screen in the season two episode, ‘Clever Camp’, of BBC’s ‘S Club 7 in L.A.’.

In 2006, she joined the cast of ABC’s daytime soap opera ‘All My Children’ as Colby Chandler. The daughter of Adam Chandler (David Canary) and Liza Colby (Marcy Walker, Alice Haining, and Jamie Luner), Colby is introduced as a rebellious teenager who gradually becomes a sensible adult over the course of the series. Childers is one of the several actresses to play the character. She left the show in 2008 after appearing in 139 episodes.
