Spencer Leigh

Born: 1963-01-01

Born in Liverpool, Spencer Leigh is an actor who first came to prominence in the 1980s as Icky Higson in the Willy Russell series One Summer. Face Magazine called him one of the Brit Pack actors, alongside the likes of Tim Roth, Colin Firth and Gary Oldman, tipping him for international fame. However Leigh favoured arthouse overall, and worked almost exclusively with Derek Jarman in a series of the auteur's films from the mid '80s through to his death. Moving to the States Leigh commenced a secondary career directing TV commercials and resurfaced in 2012, taking the part of Nunzio in Hitchcock.
