‘Gladiator’ Actor Spencer Treat Clark on Altadena’s ‘Unique Charm’ and Losing Personal Letters and Sketches After His Family Home Burns to the Ground


Spencer Treat Clark, an actor known for 'Gladiator' and 'Glass,' lost his family home to the Eaton fire in Altadena, Calif.

The actor, who has appeared in films like “Gladiator” (2000), “Glass” (2019) and “Salem’s Lot” (2024), had just spent Thursday morning rummaging through the remnants of his family’s house. He first discovered it after shooting an episode of “Criminal Minds.” “I was so charmed by the community, and I thought, if I’m ever in a position to buy a house one day, I’d love to put up ground there.” He adds, “I feel like, if you work in this industry long enough, you’re bound to film in Altadena. Clark, his wife and their 1-year-old baby are safe and staying with family in Highland Park, a neighborhood located in Los Angeles’ Northeast region.
