Thanks MM!

Sometimes I wish they wouldn't start their promotion until about a month and a half before a series I'm looking forward to started :(

Looking good so far.

'Spartacus' star Andy Whitfield dies at age 39

Actor Andy Whitfield, the former star of TV show "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," died on Sunday of lymphoma in Sydney, Australia, at age 39, his representatives said.

Whitfield played the indomitable hero Spartacus in the Starz network show when it launched last year.

The actor, whose other credits included the 2010 film "The Clinic" and the 2007 movie "Gabriel," had to step away from his role on "Spartacus" due to his illness, non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

"On a beautiful sunny Sydney ... morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his loving wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18-month battle with lymphoma cancer," Vashti Whitfield, his wife, said in a statement.

Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said he was "deeply saddened" by Whitfield's loss.

"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," Albrecht said in a statement. "Andy was an inspiration to all of us as he faced this very personal battle with courage, strength and grace."

Whitfield was born in Wales and later moved to Australia. Due to his illness, he was replaced on "Spartacus" by Australian actor Liam McIntyre.

I was reading not too long ago that he was on the mend and feeling a lot better, so really wasn't expecting this at all.

Really sad news :(

Such sad news :( That is no age at all

He really had the potential to be a true legend in cinema which has been cut far too short

I've never watched the show (really need to sort that out), but I've been following this guy's illness and it's really sad news. :(

So they've replaced him with another actor for the next season? Big shoes to fill.

Yeah, they'd replaced him when he was diagnosed.. It's mostly/all filmed already... but now it's going to be really quite sad to watch :(

I'm genuinely upset by this... After seeing all the special features behind the scenes and on set, you could see what a really nice guy he was as well... :(

Tis quite sad, mainly due to his age, I knew a guy who was 25 who died of the same disease, it was a horrible ride for him. RIP in pieces.
