Actors and the roles they play don’t always have much in common, but one Pretty Little Liars star shares a trait with her character. Troian Bellisario, who played the academically minded Spencer Hastings in the teen drama, was a lot like her character when she was at school.

Pretty Little Liars follows a group of girls who, after the mysterious disappearance of their friend Alison, start receiving threatening messages from someone known as “A.” This person seemingly knows all their secrets, and the girls work to figure out A’s identity.
The show was hugely popular, with millions of viewers worldwide tuning in to see if the characters could unmask “A.” Pretty Little Liars ended in 2017, but it has spawned a few spinoffs.
