RAISING TO STARDOM

Spencer started to build a solid career when he joined the cast of "House" as Dr. Robert Chase in 2004. In an interview, he said that the script appealed to him because it was dark and he comes from a medical background.

Yet, according to several fans, Matt's ongoing health issues may lead to an exit.
