Abigail Spencer is just 33 years old, but has already been making a name for herself on television and in movies. Some of her best performances include films like Cowboys & Aliens, The Haunting in Connecticut 2, Oz the Great And Powerful, and This Is Where I Leave You. Recently, this star was in the news because in apparent nude video appeared online and quickly made the rounds. The video, which was quite graphic, was apparently the work of hackers that released thousands of nude photos of celebrities around the same time.
Other than posting nude videos of herself, Abigail Spencer has been busy with her role on HBO’s True Detective. Before that, she could be seen in television shows like the Gilmore Girls, Ghost Whisperer, How I Met Your mother, Bones, Mad Men, and The Glades. According to sources, she has been active actress since 1999. Since she has only been cast for True Detective in the second season, there is a lot of work for her to do if she hopes to stay on.
Kelly Reilly, has also been on the short list of actresses that were invited by creator Nic Pizzolatto for the female lead on True Detective. The lead role was eventually given to Rachel McAdams for season 2. The show revolves around three officers and a career criminal, played by Vince Vaughn. For fans of the show, it appears that they were less than happy with Rachel McAdams, becoming the lead, and might have hoped that Abigail Spencer was the one leading the show in the second season. When it comes to changing characters in the show, it is always a gamble for the studio, but one that sometimes pays off.
Abigail Spencer was not just very good at television, she has been in some of the better movies in the last 10 years. Movies that include This Is Where I Leave You and Cowboys & Aliens were actually quite good and received well by the critics. This year she is going to be in a movie called Wrong Number where she plays Emma and is also the writer of the movie. It is not clear whether or not the leaked nude videos of Abigail Spencer are affecting her career at all.
In most cases these days, something like this actually propels the actor or actress into the stratosphere as the pickup rolls left and right until the buzz wears off. Abigail Spencer, being just 33, and already having quite the list on her filmography, has many years to go before she is done. Sometimes that is a good thing because she could have a very long and fulfilling career. However, if she has already been involved in one scandal, what are the chances she’s involved in another?
