The balding, lanky actor usually appeared in films as a doctor or reporter, as he did in Them! (1954). He appeared in a number of science fiction and fantasy themed movies, including reporter Ned Scott in the horror classic The Thing from Another World, in which he uttered the film's final line: "Keep watching the skies!". Spencer also had a memorable role as Martian in The Twilight Zone episode, "Mr. Dingle, the Strong", and played the role of Mr. Kraler, a protector of Anne Frank, in the 1959 movie The Diary of Anne Frank.
