There are several child actors we’ve seen grow up on screen, and Spencer Treat Clark, who played Lucius in ‘Gladiator’, is one of them.
Although you may only remember him from this film from the year 2000, the truth is that the actor, who is already 35 years old, has managed to establish his career in the world of entertainment.
What happened to the actor who played Lucious in ‘The Gladiator’?
In 2000, “Gladiator” swept the story of Maximus Decimus Meridius, starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix.
A year after its premiere, it won the Academy Award for Best Picture, making it one of the most acclaimed films in recent cinema history.

It also featured the young actor Spencer Treat Clark, who gave life to little Lucius, the son of Galeria (Connie Nielsen), who in turn was the sister of the fearsome Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix).
After making this film, he joined the cast of the film ‘Unbreakable’, a film in which he shared the credits with great actors like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and Robin Wright.
He then went on to do other films that weren’t as popular, such as ‘Mystic River’, ‘Loverboy’, ‘The Babysitters’, ‘Superheroes’, ‘Ice Scream’ and ‘Cymbeline’.
He also recorded some episodes of American series such as ‘The Good Wife’, ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’, ‘The Closer’ and ‘NCIS’.
In 2015 he had the opportunity to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), as he participated in eight episodes of the series ‘Agents of SHIELD’ in the role of Wener von Strucker.
In 2016, he joined the cast of the series ‘Animal Kingdom’, which ran for three years, and also returned to ‘Glass’, the sequel to ‘Unbreakable’ in which he starred alongside Anya Taylor Joy.
He will soon star in the movie “Salem’s Lot,” a horror film based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name.
