Victoria Spence

Victoria Spence was born on April 30, 1984. Her acting career began early, with her debut occurring in the 1993 film “Jack Be Nimble” at a young age. She then gained significant recognition for her role as Salene in the Cloud 9 television drama “The Tribe,” which she joined at 14 years old. This role spanned from 1999 to 2003, featuring her in 252 episodes. During her time on “The Tribe,” her character Salene evolved from a frightened child dealing with bulimia and alcoholism to a lead character, eventually becoming a leader of the Mall Rats. Her work in “The Tribe” also involved musical performances, where she was credited as a performer for “Abe Messiah” in 104 episodes between 1999 and 2001.

Beyond “The Tribe,” Spence appeared in other television series. She played dual roles, Antonia and Anthony, in “Atlantis High” in 2001, and had a role as Zoe in a 1999 episode of “A Twist in the Tale.” Earlier in her career, she also performed as Kelly Keenan in three episodes of “Shortland Street” in 1992. While attending high school, she was involved in several plays, taking on leading roles in productions such as “The Joker” and supporting roles in “Memory,” “Moon Launcher,” and “Desire.” She also gained experience in television commercials and as a stills photographic model. These early experiences provided a wide foundation in various aspects of performance.

After her extensive acting career, particularly with “The Tribe,” Victoria Spence transitioned into a different professional field. In 2008, she appeared in the horror play “Beast” and in 2009, she took on a lead role in Thomas Sainsbury’s play “Little Blonde Hen,” alongside former “The Tribe” co-stars Beth Allen and Antonia Prebble. Currently, Victoria Spence is not actively pursuing acting roles, having shifted her focus to a career as a primary school teacher, now known by her married name, Gray. This marks a significant career progression from her public acting life to a community-focused role in education.
