Chaske Spencer isn’t just the alpha we want, he’s the alpha we need.
Ever since he came growling across our screen as Sam Uley, the leader of the Quileute shape-shifter pack in the cult classicA powerful actor in his own right and a galvanizing force in ensuring that positive indigenous representation in media is commonplace, Spencer’s career has been a long journey of overcoming challenges in an ever-evolving film industry.
From his early days struggling on off-off Broadway plays and working catering jobs to becoming Henry “Black Crow” Lopez in, Spencer has helped carve his own reality, one that seemed barely realizable during the less inclusive days of Hollywood not long ago. We spoke with the actor about the new series, inclusivity, and “collecting people.”Usually after I wrap a character, I take four days to myself to cleanse it all out, to brush all of that character away.
When I got into this business, the best advice I received was that this is a long-game business. People told me that if you work on your craft, it’s a 10-year thing if you’re lucky. I have to say that what they told me kind of came true. For a career, it goes up and down and up and down. Sometimes you’re doing roles you love and sometimes you do roles to pay the bills.
At the beginning it’s very scary. But if I landed anything, that would keep me going. I did a lot of plays that were completely off-Broadway for no pay. No one came to see them, but I did it for the experience. You take it one day at a time and one gig at a time. Even if it was just an extra on a film, I thought, you know, that’s a good win for me., it’s been just a whole different land of appreciation and gratitude, but there’s still fear.
