It's official....Starz is recasting Spartacus. They have already started a search. Key thing mentioned in this article is the actor must be prepared to sign a "3-year contract" That pretty much rules out Whitfield playing the role ever again if he does get better. |

Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
In the article, Ausiello goes on to say that Grant Bowler has a resemblance. Curious to see how Starz re-casts this...

Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)

Sure Andy was good but I don't think he's the only person carrying the show. The other casts and storyline sold for me, not just Andy.

the violence and tits carry this show but Andy was awesome

Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, Viva Bianca isn't going anywhere so I'm good.

Every time I click on this thread, I expect to hear the worst about Andy, but Spartacus or not, I hope he recovers

Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
Exclusive: Wentworth Miller eyeing 'Spartacus'? by Michael Ausiello and Andy Patrick Categories: News, Scoop, Spartacus Wentworth-Miller-Andy-WhitfieldImage Credit: C. Hodes/FoxI’m hearing ex-Prison Break con Wentworth Miller has expressed interest in taking over the title role in Spartacus: Blood and Sand. As I reported last week, the Starz series — which briefly considered “closing up shop” after leading man Andy Whitfield dropped out to resume treatment for his Non-Hodgkin lymphoma — is moving forward with the recast option. But is Miller right for the part? Since his Fox series wrapped, he’s been largely out of the limelight. And when he has been spotted, he hasn’t quite been the picture of buffness that the sand-and-sandals epic demands. Of course, that’s nothing a month or two with a personal trainer couldn’t fix. Your thoughts? Personally, while I’m kinda psyched that the actor — who’ll always be Popular cheerleader Adam to some of us — is finally ready to get back in the game, he doesn’t seem quite right for Sparty. My first pick remains True Blood‘s ill-fated Cooter, Grant Bowler. Anyway, I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Your thoughts? |
Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
No way Wentworth Miller can play the Spartacus character. The guy can't look mean or tough.
|
Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
I'm interested.
Miller was good in Prison Break and might be able to pull off Spartacus. |
Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
Pass. I don't want to see a tatted-up Spartacus.

I think Wentworth is too slender to play Spartacus and even if he bulked up in the weightroom, he doesn't have the voice. |

what do you mean? I remember Season 3 in Sona where Wentworth wore that sweatshirt all season in 100+ degree weather because he didn't want the others to see his prison tattoos.
Remember in season 4 Michael underwent overnight Tattoo removal surgery to magically remove all of them to get rid of that aspect of his character. But, back to the point of this thread. Wentworth is not a good choice to play Spartacus. I think they need to cast an unknown from the UK, Ireland or Australia with a very husky voice like Whitfield. |
Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
I can't see Wentworth Miller in this role (tattoos or not).

Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
No no no, just.... no.
We don't need a fucking puppy playing a gladiator! |

We don't need a fucking puppy playing a gladiator! The only role Wentworth could pull off on this show would be that of the new resident boy toy. Since the young lad who Barca was with is now gone. |
Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
Miller is awful.

Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
This is the crappiest news I've heard in a while. Andy was fantastic in ths role. I honestly wish they'd take the story in a new direction and come back to him down the road.
Miller is a crappy choice. I loved Prison Break, but this is a whole new level. He plays the same character time and again. Shoot, I even saw him in Resident Evil 3D and said "gee, I wonder how he's going to get out of the jail?" He's NOT the guy for this role. For the love of Jupiter, don't cast him. |
Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
who the fuck names their kid Wentworth?
|
Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
I'd take the King of Wooden, Sam Worthington (I know he's "too big for TV now") at this point over Miller.
