biography. Under the impression that she would not be able to have children, Amy Reingold was nonetheless surprised to one day discover that she was pregnant and, subconsciously, was always aware that she might not have this chance again, so goddammit, this one better not be messed up, they better be successful and have a good life and make the Reingold name proud. So it was with that weight on her tiny shoulders that Spencer Abigail was born on June 8th, 1985. Now, of course, Spencer wasn't expected to cure AIDS from her playpen; she was allowed to play and chase the family cat and watch Ninja Turtles, all normal kids stuff. But the pressure was subtle but present from an early age, where Spencer was taught to read well before most of her peers, where she learned piano as soon as she had grasped basic motor functions just to boost her IQ. There was an enormous pressure for Spencer to succeed once she began school, from both parents. Rather than just blindly go along with his wife's whims, or play the cool dad, Nathaniel Reingold agreed that Spencer should have the good life that came with a good career, and that it was never too early to start influencing her to become ambitious. Not that Spencer was beaten if she received less satisfactory grades or anything but they weren't afraid to be strict disciplinarians, taking away privileges and grounding her from the few hours allotted for play and she quickly learned better. It wasn't even like they wanted Spencer to have a good life where they themselves did not - the Reingolds were comfortably middle class, living in a nice condo in West Nyack, with decent jobs themselves. In their own way, they just thought they were being good parents. The problem with Spencer was that she was bored. She was a hammy little girl with good comedic timing, so while some of her peers thought she was weird - and treated her accordingly - she did have a decent circle of friends who thought she was entertaining. For her part, Spencer enjoyed the attention and, when it was necessary, did anything to keep it. Among the girls in her class, she was unparalleled for accepting dares and doing ridiculous things that sometimes got her in trouble, and sometimes left her or one of the neighbors with broken limbs. Sitting in and learning how to study in the second grade may have paid off when she reached high school, but it just made her restless and bored in the meanwhile. As she grew older, Spencer came to sort of resent the controlled influence her parents had in her life. It was a slow building decision where Spencer really considered her options, but she decided that her life after high school - outside of West Nyack and all - would not necessarily involve the rigorous academic structure of becoming a doctor, like her parents had been pushing since she reached the fifth grade. While she claimed, to those who asked anyway, that she was influenced by the Pirates of the Caribbean movie that came out the summer she graduated, that she was off to become a pirate and experience freedom, the truth was Spencer meticulously thought about - and graphed - what she was good at, what she could be good at, and what she liked. Her experiences with acting had strictly been on the other side of the curtain, working as a techie for several school plays because she had a friend in drama, but regardless, she decided she was going to try her hand at being an actress anyway. She did what people traditionally did, or what she heard that people traditionally did, anyway: pooled her savings to move out to Los Angeles, struggling as a waitress by night and taking cheap acting classes during the day. She went on a few auditions, which didn't work out. She was too short, too tan, too dark, too Jewish. Spencer might have struggled longer, or even ended up crawling back home with her tail between her legs, had she not heard about a casting call where she legitimately met the standards. That movie, of course, was Mean Girls, and she went in and auditioned, and may have been borderline harassed them until she was cast as Gretchen Wieners. Spencer had made a few friends in Los Angeles - at least, as friends among struggling actors could go - and she had been pointed in the direction of an actual agent, instead of a scam artist agent, so with one job came the need for another, and another. And while several of them failed, and she never wanted to see those movies or hear them mentioned ever again, Spencer managed to build some decent momentum. Most of the time, if people mentioned Spencer Reingold, the immediate response was "who?" (that or, she's so fetch), but that was okay. She worked consistently, at least that was enough at first. In 2009, Spencer got her biggest break to date. Sort of. A lot of her roles until that point had been supporting. While, yes, she got to play the leading lady in a movie of her own, it was an independent that not many people saw. However, in 2009, Spencer was cast as Annie Edison in Community - an ensemble piece where, yes, she was going to be supporting again but still would be featured more. A god knew she could relate to little Annie Adderall, the perfectionist. Community turned out to be, more or less, the best little sitcom that, it seemed (by numbers, anyway), no one was watching (but people do call her Annie in the street now, and there is an Annie Adderall t-shirt). It opened a few more doors for Spencer just the same - not many, but a few. While Spencer loves her job, and literally cannot think of another show that would be more enjoyable to work on, she's afraid of being pigeon-holed and frankly thinks most of the comedy scripts she's seen kind of suck. In an effort to avoid getting type-cast, she's started going for roles that don't necessarily suit her, or her strengths. As a character actress, Spencer does well but as someone secretly trying to figure how to obtain an Oscar, she's only setting herself up for disappointment. Still, her parents wouldn't be happy (and they've since come to reconcile the fact that Spencer is doing something more frivolous with her life than they'd have wanted) if they knew she was settling for less.
