Star of ABC Family’s “Greek,” Spencer Grammer, has the good fortune of being the daughter of TV legend Kelsey Grammer, but the young star tells us she was determined to establish a career on her own. Luckily, her parents have been more than supportive about being in such a hard business.

“I think my dad’s impressed that I’ve done well on my own. Your parents are obviously big influences in your life and they affect what you want to do. My parents were definitely an influence in the career choices I made because my mom’s a dancer and they’re both very creative,” she says. “When I went into acting, it may have had something to do with my dad because it’s what I knew. It’s become something I can’t live without, though,” admits Grammer.

“There was a time when I was like, ‘If this doesn’t work out, I’ll go be a doctor or a teacher.’ I realized recently I’m past the halfway mark. I’m not going to go back. This is now my career and this is what I’m choosing my future to be. It gives me such a great sense of accomplishment to know that.”

Unlike many young actors who have had a taste of fame, Grammer says she’s taking her opportunities very seriously. “Everyone parties all the time out here but you just can’t. We’re up at 5:00 a.m. every day. People who do well and have longevity in this career, they wake up early and go to bed early and they read scripts and they’re serious about their work. They’re not out there partying all the time.”
