Biography |
Jesse Gordon Spencer was to Robyn and Rodney Spencer. Jesse
has two brothers Tarney and Luke and a sister Polly.
He is the son of Dr. Rodney and Robyn Spencer, the founders
of the political party, Australians Against Further
Immigration. His mother was also a prominent supporter of
Pauline Hanson's One Nation party.
Initially better known in Australia and the UK as Billy
Kennedy in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, a role he
played from 1994 to 2000, he has since appeared in the drama
Death in Holy Orders, as well as the movies, Uptown Girls
and Swimming Upstream.
He is currently based in the USA playing the role of "Dr.
Robert Chase", in House, alongside Hugh Laurie in the title
role. Jesse also recently co-starred with his House co-star,
Jennifer Morrison in the movie Flourish. As well as starring
in a film with his co-star, he is, allegedly, dating her.
Although many Australian actors have found success in
