Jesse Gordon Spencer (born on February 12, 1979 in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian actor.
He is the son of Dr. Rodney and Robyn Spencer, the founders of the political party, Australians Against Further Immigration.
Initially better known in Australia and the UK as Billy Kennedy in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, a role he played from 1994 to 2000, he has since appeared in the drama Death in Holy Orders, as well as the movies, Uptown Girls and Swimming Upstream.
He is currently based in the USA playing the role of "Dr. Robert Chase", in House, alongside Hugh Laurie in the title role. Jesse also recently co-starred with his House co-star, Jennifer Morrison in the movie Flourish. As well as starring in a film with his co-star, he was also dating her.
Although many Australian actors have found success in American film and television, Spencer is noteworthy as being one of the very few to actually play an Australian character in an ongoing core role.
