Spencer Lloyd: From "American Idol" to a homophobic church, with n*de hocky and a video in between

  

Link to the n*de photos

Making the rounds of actor photos this morning, I came across a "Spencer Lloyd" video.   No other photos, but another n*de pops up on a google search.

No one by that name is listed on IMDB, but when you dump "Spencer Lloyd" into a search engine, it wants to auto-fill with the Canadian tv series Heartland: a multi-generational soap opera set on a ranch in Alberta.  He must have appeared somewhere in the nearly 300 episodes to date -- the IMDB often omits actors. 

Googling "Spencer Lloyd" and "Canada" reveals a young guy, probably just out of high school, who played hockey for the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in British Columbia.  He must have done that before he broke into showbiz -- or tried to break in.

After extensive research on Instagram, Facebook, the American Idol Blog, and Fame Watcher, I have pieced together Spencer's biography.

There's no Canadian hockey or soap opera -- that's another Spencer Lloyd.  But I'm not taking the photos down.

Our Spencer Lloyd grew up in Bryant, Arkansas, population 16,688, known for its La Quinta Motor Lodge, Cotton Shed Vintage Market, and Chick-Fil-A.  

In 2013, at the age of 19, he got on a bus with 3,000 other hopefuls for American Idol auditions in Little Rock.  He made it to the first round.

In Austin he sang "Say Something" and an original song, "At the Final Judgment." Uh-oh, sounds homophobic. He made it to the second round.

In Hollywood, he sang "Ordinary Girl" in the Wild-Card.  And then got booted.

He still performs and records music occasionally. Apple Music lists several singles for sale, most recently "No Love Like Ours," released December 2023.

In March 2016, Spencer found his way to Nashville, where he signed on with Wilhemina Modeling.  This must be where the n*de photo comes from.

He moved to Chicago in May 2016, and went to work as fitness instructer at Barry's Chicago. 

More Spencer after the break.

In 2019, Spencer became a boxing instructor ar Rumble Boxing Gold Coast. Here he says "The real ones never seek validation."  I want to know more about his shirtless buddy.

This sounds a lot like a straight guy's career path, and FameWatcher has a quote from Spencer's now-defunct Twitter: "Things I want my Wife to do: -be gorgeous -love God -stay up as late as possible watching Superhero movies and transformers." 

He has an Instagram with only 13 posts, one from June 2024 pointing out that "my wife is a badass."  Ok, straight.

In February 2023, Spencer became the music director at the City Church, Chicago -- extreme fundamentalist, Biblical literalist, "gays are going to hell" type.  Gulp, straight and homophobic.

Screenshots from thevideo are on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.  

So now we've seen a singer, boxer, fitness instructor, homophobic church director's about to...you know.  I feel validated.  But I still want to research the Canadian hockey player/soap stud.
