Career
Umbers' first professional appearances were in 1997's BBC dramas The Student Prince and Berkeley Square. His debut was in a revival of The Pirates of Penzance, which later performed at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in London.
In their multi-award-winning 1999 season at the Royal National Theatre, Trevor Nunn and John Caird performed Umbers, including The Merchant of Venice, which was later filmed for broadcast by the BBC. Umbers returned to the National to play Freddy in the acclaimed 2001 revival of My Fair Lady, later transferring to Theatre Royal Drury Lane after playing Lord Sidney opposite Richard E. Grant in the BBC series The Scarlet Pimpernel. Zoe Williams' Evening Standard review suggested that Umbers was "known around the western world as the most beautiful man ever seen."
Umbers appeared alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor in The Vortex, Michael Grandage's debut at the Donmar Warehouse in 2002.
In 2004, he was cast opposite Scarlett Johansson in A Good Woman.
In 2005, he appeared in Perkin Warbeck's Channel 4's historical drama Princes in the Tower. He appeared in These Foolish Things with Anjelica Huston and Lauren Bacall, and his third appearance that year was alongside John Malkovich in Colour Me Kubrick. In the mini-series Blackbeard (2006) opposite Jessica Chastain, he portrayed Lt. Robert Maynard.
Umbers appeared in The Gentleman Caller in the West End in 2007, to critical acclaim. In Che: Part Two, Steven Soderbergh played Umbers as Roth. He appeared in the second series of BBC drama Mistresses and the BBC film The Turn of the Screw the following year, opposite Michelle Dockery as the Master.
Umbers were cast in their revival of Sweet Charity, the first performance of the series to feature only one leading man, with Umbers as the love-interest characters. In 2010, the production was moved to the Theatre Royal Haymarket. Michael Coveney wrote in The Independent that "it's rare to have such a good show in a musical...and it raises everybody else's game."
Frank Hunter appeared in the ITV drama Eternal Law in 2011, portraying Anna Chancellor at Chichester Festival Theatre. In April 2012, the performance was presented on a double bill with David Hare's latest play South Downs and later transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre in London.
Umbers returned to the Menier Chocolate Factory in November 2012 to star Franklin Shepard in Maria Friedman's multi-award-winning revival of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along. On May 1, 2013, the original cast returned to the Harold Pinter Theatre, receiving (at that time) more 5 star reviews than any other West End performance, as well as the Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical, and the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival. The film was shot and then screened in theaters around the world.
In the ITV and PBS World War Two drama Home Fires, Umbers played Wing Commander Nick Lucas between 2014 and 2016. Georg played Georg in She Loves Me at the Menier Chocolate Factory in 2016, and Carey Mulligan appeared in David Hare's Netflix series Collateral.
In August 2017, he reprised his role as Franklin Shepard in Merrily We Roll Along in Boston, which was also directed by Friedman. His Boston Globe performance was described as "purely extraordinary." Stephen Sondheim was quoted by Huffington as saying that Umbers was the best in the role he had ever seen. "For the first time in my life, Frank is the beating, shattered heart of the show," Ben Brantley wrote in the New York Times, a result of Mr. Umbers' startlingly sympathetic portrayal of a (usually unsympathetic) man to whom fame comes."
In the HBO Hervé Villechaize biopic My Dinner with Hervé, Umbers played Roger Moore. For the film, Umbers and Peter Dinklage recreated James Bond's fight scene with villain Nick Nack from The Man with the Golden Gun.
