A Michigan-native studied Musical Theater at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York and studied under Terry Schreiber. As a result of a booming film industry in Michigan, Spencer moved back to Michigan for a brief period. During his time in Michigan, he gained credits in big studio films, playing featured roles in Red Dawn and Real Steel, as well as booking principle roles in numerous national commercials.
