Early Life, Education, and Career Beginnings
Spencer is the daughter of comedian and actor Kelsey Grammer, and is named for her paternal aunt, murdered during the 1970s. She grew up with six paternal half-siblings including Greer Grammer, and also has a maternal half-sister. After matriculating from high school, she enrolled at Marymount Manhattan College located in New York City, but began her acting career as a child, making a guest appearance in the show “Cheers” in 1992, though it was uncredited.
It wasn’t until 12 years later that she formally started to pursue an acting career, following the footsteps of her father. She appeared in guest roles and pilots of several projects, including “Clubhouse”, “Jonny Zero”, and “Third Watch”. She also worked on “The Bedford Diaries”, “As the World Turns”, and “Six Degrees”. In 2006, she made her feature film debut in “Beautiful Ohio” which starred William Hurt and is based on the Ethan Canin short story entitled “Batorsag and Szerelem”. The following year, she had an uncredited role in the film “Descent” which starred Rosario Dawson.
Greek & Rick and Morty
In 2007, she became one of the lead characters in the television series “Greek”, which follows the lives of students at the fictitious Cyprus-Rhodes University (CRU) located in Ohio. The students who are focused in the show follow the school’s Greek system. She stayed with the show for the next four years, completing a total of 74 episodes as her character navigates through sorority drama and a messy love triangle. Concurrently she did voice work for an episode of “Robot Chicken”.
After the serie’s end, she appeared as a guest in episodes of “CSI: NY” and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”, and joined the cast of the television series “Ironside”, but which was cancelled after four episodes. In 2013 she became one of the voices for the adult animated series “Rick and Morty”, which follows the misadventures of mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith who embark on inter-dimensional adventures while maintaining their domestic life. The show originated from an animated parody short of “Back to the Future”; the show has been greatly praised for its creativity, humor and originality.
Recent Projects
Simultaneously Spencer also managed other acting projects; in 2014, she appeared in an episode of both “Royal Pains” and “Chicago PD”, and the following year was cast in the show “Mr. Robinson” starring Craig Robinson, however, the show was cancelled after just a month of airing. She then had guest roles in shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy”, and “Scorpion”, and one of her latest projects is appearing as Beth Miller in the psychological television series “Tell Me A Story”, which is based on the Mexican series “erase una vez”, and set to air for a second season in 2019.
Father – Kelsey Grammer
Spencer’s father is Kelsey Grammer who is known for his two decade long portrayal of the character Dr. Frasier Crane in the sitcoms “Frasier” and “Cheers”. He is also known for being the voice actor of “The Simpsons” character Sideshow Bob. In recent years, he’s been collaborating with Guillermo del Toro for the animated program entitled “Trollhunters”. The series follows the story of a teenage boy who stumbles upon a realm inhabited by trolls and other magical creatures. Over the course of his career, he has won a Tony, three Golden Globe and five Primetime Emmy Awards.

1 | When I went to college, it didn't even occur to me that I should be in a sorority at all. I went to school in New York City, where you don't need to be in a sorority to go to a party! |
2 | My dad has an incredible passion for living life, and he's really, really funny, so he definitely encourages me to enjoy all aspects of life. He's very proud of me and definitely encourages my career path, and we have a good time talking about work. |
3 | Netflix has such a knack for giving a new life to those B-movies that you thought and hoped no one would ever see. Especially when you have a new project coming out and they're looking to mine some of your lesser-known films. |
4 | I loved The O.C. (2003) and I totally watch Gossip Girl (2007), too! |
5 | If you're not adventurous,, you're not really living, I think... especially in college. |
6 | I always thought that sororities were just made up of cheerleaders from high school. And I kind of picked on those cheerleaders! |
7 | I once went to a fraternity house when I was in high school... you know, you would rent them during the summer for really cheap, and students are in there. So I met some people who rented a room. I just remember it being very dirty. |
8 | I love pushing my boundaries and seeing how far I can go without, you know, dying or injuring myself too badly. |
9 | Everyone has their thing, and I was the weird, artsy kid. |
10 | Greek (2007) is basically a show about sororities and fraternities. It follows "Casey Cartwright", played by me, her younger brother, and all the people that are involved in their lives from the different fraternities. |
11 | I think Mariska Hargitay on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) is a really good example of a female lead I'd like to emulate. She's really been able to captivate men and women in a way that's appealing, which is a tough line to follow. |
12 | People are always going to assume I got my roles because of my father. There's not much I can do about that. He and I talk about the business sometimes, but he's my dad. |
13 | I think Mariska Hargitay on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999) is a really good example of a female lead I'd like to emulate. |
14 | I love pushing my boundaries and seeing how far I can go without, you know, dying or injuring myself too badly. On set I was like, 'Give me some stunts! Give me whatever you want. Throw it at me. I want to do it all.' |
15 | I've been learning how to shoot a gun and properly handcuff people so that on the day I need to pull someone down to the ground, it looks and feels natural for me. |
16 | I want to pay my mortgage and go on vacation, so I love working. I want to be able to do independent projects as well, and being on a successful TV show allows you to do some other things. |
