Trivia / Munro Chambers

• The Cast Showoff: He's an award-winning trampolinist. He even gets to show off his skills on The Latest Buzz in one episode. Him and his twin brother, Thomas Chambers, are both trampoline coaches.
• Dawson Casting: On Degrassi, his character Eli, is supposed to be around 17 or 18 in its current season. In real life, he's actually 22, despite not looking as half as old.
• Dyeing for Your Art: He had to dye his brown hair much darker for his role as Eli on Degrassi.
• Playing Against Type: His role on Degrassi is a lot more dark and intense contrast from his role on The Latest Buzz as more funny and laid back.
• What Could Have Been: His character Eli was originally supposed to be killed off in the tenth season of Degrassi. In part 2 of All Falls Down, Fitz was originally supposed to stab Eli to death at Vegas Night, but the writers thought that idea was too similar to the Season 6's Rock This Town where JT was stabbed to death by one of the Lakehurst kids. Then the writers decided that he would die in the Season 10 finale Drop The World where he drives completely insane on the road while on the phone with Clare. He would get into a car accident and he would be pronounced dead, but then they start to realize how popular Eli has become in the fandom and since he's become more of a Breakout Character, they changed their minds and decided not to let him die on the show.
  • Before auditioning for Eli, Munro originally auditioned for the role of Drew, but lost out to his best friend Luke Bilyk. He then finally auditioned for the role of Eli. He nailed it and got the role that became one of the most popular characters on Degrassi.
  • There was actually an unaired Spin-Off series of The Latest Buzz called Meet The Wilders. If that show would've gone through, Munro wouldn't gone off to do Degrassi.
