<p>The two reconnected with their Raising Helen costar Kate Hudson for an appearance on her podcast with brother Oliver Hudson, Sibling Revelry</p>
<p>Spencer spoke about how he was discovered as a child while playing on a playground</p>
<p>Spencer Breslin might be best known for the roles he worked on as a child (and sometimes along his real-life sister, Abigail Breslin), but the actor is continuing to land roles and is now all grown up.</p>
<p>The Breslin siblings reunited with their Raising Helen costar (and on-screen sibling) Kate Hudson on the June 9 episode of her podcast Sibling Revelry, co-hosted by her brother Oliver.</p>
<p>Spencer, now 33, described how for him, acting began at a very young age.</p>
<p>"I started doing, like, commercials and stuff when I was 3," he said. "My first were a Life cereal commercial and a McDonald's commercial with Charles Barkley. And then, yeah, then it just kinda went from there."</p>
<p>His acting journey began, he added, as the result of a chance casting at an indoor playground.</p>
<p>"I always laugh at this now because it seems so weird now as an adult. But when when I was, like, 3 or 4, there was this indoor playground in Manhattan that I used to go to. And it's funny now, but they used to send talent scouts out to the playgrounds to be like, 'Oh, cute kid.' ... So then I started doing commercials. And I just I I had a good time doing them, I guess," he shared.</p>
<p>Spencer and Abigail first acted together on screen in the 2004 film Raising Helen, alongside Kate Hudson.</p>
<p>Abigail was 7 at the time of the filming and Spencer was 10.</p>
<p>"I liked being on set," Spencer said. "For me, I've always enjoyed it and I've never felt like I missed out on so much from being on or this or that. I enjoyed being on set."</p>
<p>Abigail echoed the sentiment, saying that a lot of their enjoyment from acting likely came from the fact that they weren't financially supporting the rest of their family.</p>
<p>"We had options. Like if we didn't want to do it, our parents weren't going to be [upset]," she added.</p>
<p>Still, the acting and name recognition that came with it meant that the Breslin siblings' childhood was far from typical.</p>

<p>"I had someone ask me for an autograph while I was standing at a urinal at Outback Steakhouse," Spencer said. "And I was like, 'Can you wait?' "</p>

<p>Elsewhere in the interview, Spencer said he did go through a "rebellious" phase in his teenage years, saying, "I guess I liked alcohol and maybe I liked it a little bit too much. I've had my ups and downs, I guess, with that. I don't know if that's related to show business or not. I think it's just because I I like drinking."</p>
<p>"There was no pumping the brakes, ever," he added.</p>
<p>Abigail said that she's been supportive in her brother's sobriety journey, recounting how he once visited her on set drunk.</p>
<p>"I do remember at one point when he had come to visit me on a set of a film that I was doing and saying to my mom, I knew he was drunk when he came to visit me on the set. I was concerned because it's lunchtime on set, which was like 2 p.m.," she said.</p>
<p>When he told her he was going to get sober, she said she "started crying."</p>
<p>"I think him taking accountability and doing what he needed to do to feel better has been awesome for him and awesome for everybody that knows and loves him, because he's doing so well now and we're super happy," she added.</p>

<p>Spencer and Abigail also have another sibling — Ryan — who did not grow up in the industry.</p>
<p>But the age gap between the siblings is so wide, Spencer said, that they didn't grow close until they were older.</p>
<p>"He's about exactly seven years older than me, he's 11 years older than Abby," Spencer said. "It was probably a different dynamic because we weren't so close in age. Ryan and I became a lot closer as buddies towards the end of high school for me. We became a lot better pals then just because, you know, if someone's 17 and 10, that's such a huge age gap."</p>
<p>Both Spencer and Abigail have acted in dozens of projects, with Spencer recently appearing in the horror/comedy film Desert Fiends.</p>
