Jansen Spencer (born 25 May 1981) is a former Australian actor, best known for his role as Paul McClain in the Australian soap opera Neighbours.

Career

In 1997, Spencer heard about the possibility of a role on Neighbours and initially auditioned for a small part, only to receive the part of Paul McClain. Originally slated for only a few guest appearances, he proved so popular they kept him on as a regular until 2001. Paul's exit storyline saw him leaving to play football for the Adelaide Crows.

Spencer performed in a few pantomimes in the UK after his departure from Neighbours. He later reprised his role in a cameo for the soap's 20th anniversary episode, broadcast in July 2005.

Spencer went on to work as a real estate agent on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Personal life

Spencer is married to wife Romany, with whom he has two children.
