Andy Whitfield 1972-2011 (Spartacus: Blood and Sand)
Andy Whitfield 1972-2011
I wasn’t really prepared to read that headline early this morning. I mean… I knew he had to stop doing the Spartacus part for the second season because he was sick and fighting cancer but I had no idea that the non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer was anywhere near these stages that would take this great actors young 39 year old life.
He really made the part of Spartacus come to life and the new actor ( Liam McIntyre) has some very big shoes to try and fill. When you watch the Spartacus: Blood and Sand extras on the Blu Ray you can see that Andy was a great person in addition to being the actor that kept drawing us into the character he played.
May Andy Rest in Peace and may his family be strong and carry on.
Let the Heavens know that a warrior is on his way home.
