Spencer was born in Sydney, Australia.
Judging from his enjoyment being his Secret Life of Us character in a radio play written by Wil Anderson and also starring comedian Ross Noble at the triple j breakfast OB on April 12th, 2002, and his coming out to watch Tripod on stage, I'd say Spencer enjoys a bit of comedy every now and then.
