Liam McIntyre as Spartacus


Starz hit series Spartacus proffers the most breathtaking scenarios, especially if you are into intense battle, bloody brawl, and the fight of the furious, not to mention pretty ladies lures in the show. But of course, men with their pack abs do not want to be behind after all, the show is about their strength, their capabilities to stand the battle and stay alive no matter what it takes. And among them, one stands out and catches our full attention. He is the man behind many challenges, the person who bravely stands among the sharp fangs and believes that aside from being slaves, there at the end of the rainbow, awaits a better future. 

The warrior that holds his sword as if his life depends on it, Liam McIntyre. McIntyre is an Australian actor most known for his work in several short films and guest starring roles in Australian TV series. He also appears in The Pacific but his biggest break comes when he was chosen as the replacement for Andy Whitfield in the titular role for the Starz television series Spartacus. This happens after late Whitfield undergo on medical treatment after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Sadly, Whitfield died in Sydney, Australia, on 11 September 2011, 18 months after his initial cancer diagnosis. Anyway, that leaves McIntyre on the throne. 

Liam said "It's a really unique challenge. It's been a great privilege, a great honor, a great responsibility as you guys know. Um, how do you answer that question? It's hard because you wish it was never there you know? You wish you couldn't have that opportunity because I was a fan - it's the weirdest thing." 

He was once a fan of Spartacus, and now he is the one playing the role of Spartacus. How was that huh? Anyway, catch more of his action and many more as you Watch Spartacus: War of the Damned Online. It will premiere this coming 25th of January, and you know what it means guys. “its party time”!
