Spencer Nolan Rice, aka Spenny, is a Canadian writer, producer, and comedian. He is the co-star of "Kenny vs. Spenny" along with Kenny Hotz.

Rice was born in Toronto, Ontario and attended York University in Toronto. His film "Telewhore" appeared at the Toronto International Film Festival and was purchased by Channel Four in the United Kingdom. His short film "Something Anything" won a Tele-Fest award for best comedy.

Soon after this, Rice and Hotz, who had been friends since childhood, collaborated on the short film "It Don't Cost Nothin' to Say Good Morning". They wrote further material, including an episode of the show "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"Fact|date=August 2008. Their first feature-length film was "Pitch", which won Best Film Award from the Toronto Independent Arts Festival.

In 2003, Hotz and Rice created the show "Kenny vs. Spenny", which has just completed its fifth season. The show was nominated for Gemini Awards in 2005, 2006 and 2008.

As evidenced in a first-season episode of "Kenny vs. Spenny", "Who Can Survive in the Woods the Longest?" (episode 1.23), Spenny is color-blind. Spenny is also Jewish, which he admits in the "Who is Funnier?" episode of "Kenny vs. Spenny" during his stand-up comedy act, although he claims not to be devout.

In 2008, Spencer Rice wrote and starred in the mockumentary film "Confessions of a Porn Addict" in which he played the character Mark Tobias. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1207648/]
