After Andy Whitfield has diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and undergoes treatment immediately in New Zealand, it has been a question of who will replace his rule as Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who was brave and start a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic from 73 to 71 BC. I will never wonder if the show started to cast a new audition to find the best man to be the new Spartacus. However, it was later announced that an Australian actor Liam McIntyre will join the team as the new Spartacus. It was a surprise of course, I mean, will there be no Liam anymore aside that these two was quite opposite bit, Liam got bigger packs than him, taller than him and let's say he got that bad boy image while Liam can be compare to the boy-next-door. The first concern was then how will it works and how viewers face such changes on the show then? But we learn to cope up right?
September 2011, the saddest news has been delivered, Whitfield died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Sydney, Australia, 18 months after his initial cancer diagnosis. It comes the most unexpected way especially that we are hoping to see his return in Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. Anyway, that then made Liam McIntyre as the show’s regular member. On the coming Spartacus: War of the Damned, right after many successful episodes he have given to the show, he is back to reprise his role as Spartacus. He will be much bolder this time, stronger and the hunger for bringing Rome into downfall gets more intense. See him getting all those kicks and draws this 25th of January which is the premiere date of Spartacus: War of the Damned Episode 1-Enemies of Rome.
