Very sad news when somebody looses their battle with cancer. He was a brilliant actor and Spartacus is one of my favorite shows :-(

R.I.P

not another thread !

Wow, just wow. Thanks for letting me know there is a Spartacus thread I'll go hang my head in shame now.

It's a thread about Andy's passing; not about the show itself. :mad:

Well the title of this thread is Spartacus (not Andy Whitfield), it's his most famous (and celebrated) work, he was an actor and that subforum is about TV and that thread is where the discussion of his death began this morning....

Regardless of the title, we're clearly not talking about the Blood and Sand here are we? And with no intention to cause offence, it's also rather insensitive to start causing trouble in a thread like this. A great man has died; and a lot of us are clearly upset that we've lost one of our on-screen idols.

Currently re-watching episode 4 of Blood & Sand. It's rather poignant when, after the first pit fight, he dreams of his wife; she says "you push yourself too hard" and he responds "and yet I still live." Life's tragic irony.

Well just like Spartacus did in our history books; Andy lived and died like a true Warrior and that'll be how we all remember him.
