J. Robert Spencer is no stranger to North Texas, having moved to Plano with his family in 1980, where he spent four years in the Plano school system before moving to Oklahoma City. While in Plano, in the eighth grade, Spencer was cast in Plano Senior High School's production of Working the Musical.

Spencer explains, "We moved around a lot growing up because of my Dad's job in retail. My family still lives in Texas! When I was in eighth grade, I was cast in Working and I was the youngest amongst the cast. The cast consisted of high school acting students, mostly junior and seniors, who were soon graduating and moving onto a life in the arts."

Spencer enjoys a successful musical theater career and is best known as Broadway's original Nick Massi in the Tony Award and Grammy® Award-winning show Jersey Boys.
