As a teenager, Spencer learned how to act at the New York Film Academy. He then went on to star in a total of seven films, including “At Middleton,” “Jamesy Boy,” “Unbroken” and “King Cobra.”
Spencer’s final work on the big screen was in the 2018 Kevin Connolly-directed crime thriller “Gotti,” in which the late actor played John Gotti Jr. alongside John Travolta (who portrayed John Gotti Sr.) and Kelly Preston (DiGiorgio Gotti).
That same year, Spencer revealed that he was homeless with his dog.

In a YouTube video shared that June, the actor-turned-street-artist ate a “pizza mukbang” while sharing that he was currently living on the Venice Beach boardwalk.
Though Spencer said sleeping on the beach was nice, he admitted that he was “fully exposed” because everyone is “always walking around.”
“There’s no privacy,” he shared, adding that it’s like he lives “in a glass house.”
