AMBYR CHILDERS

Known For: Childers, who landed a job on “All My Children” in high school, had a memorable role as Philip Seymour Hoffman’s daughter Elizabeth Dodd in “The Master” and currently appears in “Gangster Squad.”

Sundance Moment: As eldest daughter Iris in Jim Mickle’s horror remake “We Are What We Are,” a surprisingly entertaining film about a cannibal family, Childers gives new meaning to the term “bringing home the bacon.” “It’s really about the relationship between two sisters who happen to have a very dark family,” she said.
Up Next: The film “2 Guns” starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg and the Showtime series “Ray Donovan,” starring Liev Schreiber and Jon Voight.
