Octavia Spencer flew under the radar as an actress for several years, playing small but often memorable roles in a number of films.
Variety writes that Spencer actually began acting by working with a casting department in her home state of Alabama, eventually working up the experience and connections to start getting auditions.
Spencer moved to Hollywood in 1996 and continued to steal scenes in a number of films. After winning an Academy Award in 2012 for
The Help (and being nominated for a couple of others within five more years), Spencer quickly evolved into one of the most in-demand actresses in the game. Whether she s doing comedy, drama or somewhere in between, you know you re going to get something unique and impressive whenever you see her onscreen.
