Born on a ranch in North Hollywood, California, Spice Williams-Crosby rode her horse to kindergarten, grew up playing in her father's medical offices, eventually hitting the road as a musician, singer, and dancer under contract to 20th Century-Fox Records.
Overcoming a seven-year drug and alcohol problem, at the age of 26, she turned to God, nutrition and exercise with the eventual promise of helping others to turn their lives around. As she got older, Spice changed the course of her career and began studying acting for stage and film. After hearing about roles for female warriors, wrestlers, and super-heroines, she took to kickboxing and bodybuilding, slowly creating a niche for herself.
Spice has worked in such feature motion pictures as Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989), The Cherokee Kid (1996), From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), The Guyver (1991), A Simple Plan (1998), and For Love of the Game (1999). She has also guest-starred on numerous TV shows including Roseanne (1988), My Two Dads (1987), Women in Prison (1987), Mama's Family (1983), The Bold And The Beautiful, The Young and the Restless (1973), Step by Step (1991), Smart Guy (1997), Diagnosis Murder (1993), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), and Scrubs (2001), in what she terms as an "action actress." "In fact," says Spice, "I can't remember doing a role where I wasn't asked to perform some kind of physical feat". Since 1986, Spice has been stunt doubling Deidre Hall (Marlena) on Days of Our Lives (1965) and has also played several roles on that soap. She had the great honor of working with Clint Eastwood on Million Dollar Baby (2004), and then had a blast working on an independent film in with Luke Goss, called The Dead Undead (2010). She is very proud of co-starring in an incredible film called The Sensei (2008) with Diana Lee Inosanto starring & directing, a fun film called Bare Knuckles (2010), and recently, she played a warden in a Stallone film, and can be seen as a hooker on the new TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013). Starting in 2014, Spice has produced her own show called I Fight for My Life (2014), about women victims and turning them into women victors!
Stunts came into play in 1980 ago when Spice was asked to double an actress playing a Judo instructor opposite Rock Hudson. Since then, she has doubled for the likes of Louise Fletcher, Meg Foster, Katherine Ross, Clare Carey, Deidre Hall, Cindy Pickett, Linda Kozlowski, Eileen Brennen, Becky Ann Baker, Kelly Preston and many more. Spice also Stunt Coordinates feature films, Television shows and commercials. Her stunt expertise is in fighting & "hitting the ground!"
Although Spice has crashed cars, dove through glass windows, taken stair falls, executed 30-foot ratchets, 50-foot high falls, and hung from helicopters 350 feet above the ground, she is perhaps best known for her ability to pick a 300 pound man up over her head in a fireman's carry. In the year 2000, Spice founded the Stunt Peer Group & Emmy at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Gracing the cover and pages of over 100 magazines, both here and abroad, Spice has also made a name for herself as a nutritional expert with 2 Masters in Fitness Science & Holistic Nutrition and a PhD in Natural Health Medicine, writing for magazine as Ms. Fitness, Natural Muscle Magazine, and World Black Belt.

Spice's goal is to continue to set an example for the "women of the new millennium" -- spiritually focused, mentally alert, and physically capable.
