Amber Chaney, a talented individual, was born in the vibrant city of Atlanta, Georgia. As she entered her twenties, she made the bold decision to relocate to the bustling metropolis of New York City to pursue her passion for the performing arts. She enrolled at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, where she successfully completed her studies and earned her degree.
Amber's early career in the entertainment industry was marked by a notable starring role in the 2005 Sundance Grand Jury Prize-nominated film, Somebodies, where she played the character of Aunt Eva. This early success laid the foundation for her future endeavors, and she went on to build a loyal fan base with her memorable performances in popular franchises such as The Hunger Games and The Walking Dead.
In addition to her work in the entertainment industry, Amber has also explored her entrepreneurial spirit. In 2013, she and her husband opened Sean's Harvest Market, a successful outdoor sandwich shop located on the Beltline of Atlanta's Piedmont Park. Amber was instrumental in the daily operations of the business, baking fresh pastries, including biscuits, cookies, cakes, and brownies, every morning.
Amber's path crossed with her former Hunger Games co-star, Elizabeth Banks, in 2016, when Elizabeth happened upon Sean's Harvest Market by chance. Amber warmly greeted Elizabeth, and their chance encounter as served a testament to the power of serendipity and the enduring bonds formed through shared experiences.
