Coincidentally, the fictional character had a disconcerting history of heart problems. An only child of a working-class family (his father was a truck driver who never finished grammar school and his mother was an occasional waitress), both of his grandfathers were alcoholics. His character on the show was also an alcoholic. Spencer was also a regular on the televison program L.A. Law and was featured in several films including WarGames, The Protector, Hiding Out, Presumed Innocent, L.A. Law, Forget Paris, The Rock, Cop Land and The Negotiator.
