Devastated. RIP Andy

Welshman, Australian, Thracian, slave, hero, he was and to me, STILL is Spartacus.

He past away in the arms of his wife, surrounded by his family, he leaves 2 young kids.

Cancer, no matter what form is..... don't even know how to describe it....

We all have to join in to fight this horrible disease, just donate what ever you can to your regions cancer charity.

I don't care who the person is, these stories never get any easier to read.

That's the truth, brother.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Whitfield.

Wow, what a shocker! It was well known that he had cancer, but I thought he was doing well with treatment and going to pull through. Very sad news indeed.

What a bummer... cancer sucks...

Sad news - I was really hoping he would go back into remission again. I had very much enjoyed his performance in Spartacus and was hoping we all might get to see him again in that role or others. He definitely had that spark that made me believe he would be one to watch.

RIP

RIP

I am so sad to here this. Loved the show, loved the acting by Andy

He even inspired me to help produce a 1/4 scale statue of Spartacus by our company!

So devastating, he was so young!

That's so sad. I was hoping he was gonna recover.

I only recently got into the series and finished Blood and Sand a week ago. Even through just 1 season of a show, I really liked Andy Whitfield as an actor and person. His personality in interviews was great. This is such terrible news. He was certainly on his way to getting more and more major roles. This came as quite a shock to me when I read it this morning, and my thoughts are with his family, friends, and past Spartacus cast members.

Bringer of Rain, Slayer of Theokoles, Champion of Capua. He is Spartacus - and always will be to me. RIP Andy.

The Dvd has been sitting in my collection for more than a year now. I still haven't felt the need to see it. Still waiting for that little "spark" that makes me want to see it...

... but I was aware of Whitfield's courageous fight again this horrible disease. RIP Andy...

... God, I hate this disease...

You should watch it now, once you get to the third episode you will not be able to stop.

And I will probably soon! But what's been slowing me so far is I loved Rome which was gret and intelligent.

The trailers I've seen from spartacus have left me hesitatating; seems to be a lot of CGI, a lot of blood, a lot of not so hot sex, but I can't judge the story from it.

But it's succesful so I suppose (I hope?) it's good, so it's on my "to do one day" list!

I love Rome, so I understand your hesitation. They are definitely different shows so you don't have to worry about one over the other. Just think of it as a completely different series and don't compare it to Rome.

The sex is definitely hot!

It does have some CGI and is very gory but it works very well with the story and the characters are just amazing and well thought out.
