Ambyr Childers: Movies & Box Office

Ambyr Childers (born July 18, 1988 in Garland, Texas) is an American actress whose career has spanned television, film, and entrepreneurial ventures. She first attracted attention with a small role in the 2003 comedy Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star before landing the recurring part of Colby Chandler on the long‑running daytime soap All My Children (2006‑2008), where her performance helped solidify her reputation as a versatile young talent. After her soap‑opera stint, Childers expanded into genre television, most notably portraying Susan Atkins in the NBC period‑crime series Aquarius and delivering a memorable turn as Ashley Rucker in Showtime’s gritty drama Ray Donovan. Her breakout role came in 2018 when she was cast as Candace Stone, the obsessive and charismatic antagonist in Lifetime’s adaptation of You, a part that was later retained when the series transitioned to Netflix, earning her a promotion to series regular for the second season. In addition to acting, Childers has explored her Native American heritage through fashion; together with fellow actress Kate Bosworth she co‑founded Ambyr Childers Jewelry, a line described as delivering delicate pieces that blend cultural roots with a “cool‑girl” aesthetic. Off‑screen, Childers married film producer Randall Emmett in 2009; the couple welcomed two daughters, one in 2010 and another in 2013. Their marriage endured public scrutiny, with a separation filing in 2015, a dismissed petition the following year, and an eventual divorce finalized in December 2017. Throughout her career, Childers has demonstrated a commitment to challenging roles and entrepreneurial creativity, establishing herself as a notable presence in contemporary American entertainment.
