up a series of performances in the town I lived in. I remember spending hours preparing for those and rehearsing while the rest of the kids were out enjoying their summer break. I just couldn’t get enough of it. Looking back, I think my parents had no doubt I’d end up becoming an actor.” Spencer also recounts performing at a young age. “I performed in my first professional show on stage at 10, and I had never felt adrenaline like it,” the actress tells INLOVE. “I couldn’t wait to get up on stage again. A year later, I booked my first national commercial in the United Kingdom. I remember feeling like I was in a dream. I was fascinated by every aspect of set life, and at that moment, I knew I wanted to feel that feeling forever.”
