What Happened to Spencer Lofranco Before He Died?
Spencer’s final moments are still unclear, but his last Instagram post was on November 11. That day, the actor shared a black-and-white image of himself.

What Movies Did Spencer Lofranco Star in?
Spencer made an impression on viewers with his first feature film performance in At Middleton, followed by Jamesy Boy, Unbroken, Dixieland, King Cobra and, his last one, Gotti.
The late actor co-starred with Angelina Jolie in Unbroken, playing the role of Harry Brooks. After he began shooting the film, Spencer spoke with Interview magazine in January 2014.
“Angelina Jolie was my dream girl. Now I’m going to shoot a movie with her. It’s crazy,” he said at the time. “I tell people and they’re like, “Yeah… okay.” They don’t even believe me. I met these girls the other day, and they were like, “You’re not actor,” and I’m like, “Okay…” Then they start looking you up and all that stuff. It’s something I’ve got to get used to, I guess. Sometimes I’ll say I’m artist, or I’m a lawyer, or I’m in school for engineering, because in L.A., everyone’s an “actor.”
Spencer attended a one-year conservatory program at the New York Film Academy after deciding to become an actor when he was 17.
