Biography:From 1939 until his death in 1960, gangly, balding "Douglas Spencer" could be spotted in unbilled film roles as doctors and reporters. By the early '50s, "Spencer" had graduated to supporting parts, often in films with a science fiction or fantasy theme. One of his lengthier assignments was Simms, the seance-busting reporter in "Houdini" (1953). "Douglas Spencer"'s best-ever film role was bespectacled reporter Ned "Scotty" Scott in the 1951 sci-fi classic "The Thing", wherein he closed the film with the immortal cautionary words "Keep watching the skies!" ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
