'Spartacus' Star Whitfield Dies of Lymphoma

Starz Network Comment on Andy Whitfield: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Andy Whitfield. We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in 'Spartacus' and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life. Andy was an inspiration to all of us as he faced this very personal battle with courage, strength and grace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and fans.”

Well, there you go. RIP

But kind of knew this was going to happen, that is why they recast the role.

That sucks. RIP.

Wow, just read that he passed away on Yahoo. Even at high risk the 5yr survival rate is 53%, plus he was young and in great shape.

I've only watched season 1 recently so this is kind of a shock to me, will be hard for me to think of anyone else in the role

You need to watch the prequel season, because a major character will most likely be in season 2 and you need to know all about him.

Here is the article on the new actor playing Spartacus.
