Michael Chambers was born as the youngest of four children and grew up in a community of mixed ethnic groups and cultures. From an early age, he became interested in dancing, so he had some roles in commercials before he appeared in the video for Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long” in the early ‘80s.

Chambers’ first on-screen credit came in 1984 in Joel Silberg’s musical comedy called “Breakin’”, in the role of Tony “Turbo”, a story about a young jazz dancer who meets a pair of break-dancers. The film became quite popular all over the globe, and grossed more than $57 million worldwide, which also helped Chambers to increase his net worth significantly. Also in 1984, the sequel “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo” came out, in which Michael co-starred alongside Lucinda Dickey and Adolfo Quinones as one of three street dancers who are trying to stop the destruction of a community recreational center. Although the movie didn’t repeat the success of its predecessor, it still gained popularity among teenagers in the US.

In 1987, Chambers appeared in an episode of “The Dom DeLuise Show”, while from 1990 to 1991, he was M.C. Mike – Announcer in eight episodes of the show called “Fox’s Fun House”.

Chambers’ latest on-screen appearance occurred in 1999 in Hugh Wilson’s film called “Dudley Do-Right” with Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Alfred Molina in lead roles.

Since the start of the 2000s, Michael has focused on other ventures, and hasn’t been active as an actor. However, most recently he returned to the entertainment industry, and at the moment he is filming “Good Vibration” and “Break Dance Revolution”, both of which will be released in 2018.
