Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
I don't see Purcell as Spartacus. He'd be better as Crixus.

More recasting.
Lesley-Ann Brandt To Leave Starz's 'Spartacus', Role Of Naevia Will Be Recast Spartacus will not be the only recast role on the second season of Starz's flagship series Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I hear Lesley-Ann Brandt, who played Naevia, body slave to Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) and lover of Crixus (Manu Bennett) on the first season of the show and in the prequel, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, has decided not to renew her contract and won't return for season 2. She just started a recurring role on CSI: NY and opted to also pursue broadcast pilots, which are currently casting. The part of Naevia, a fan favorite, will now be recast. Starz is known as being less restrictive in its actors contracts, which allowed Jane Lynch to leave Party Down when she was cast in Fox's Glee. Season 2 of Spartacus: Blood and Sand will also introduce Liam McIntyre as the new Spartacus. He replaced ailing original star Andy Whitfield. Production on the second season of the sward-and-sandal drama is slated to begin shortly. |
Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
I will miss her breasts. Hope she gives a decent full nude scene in the remaining episodes of GotA.

Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
Man, this show can't catch a break (this shouldn't be much of an issue though from a creative perspective).

Lesley-Ann Brandt To Leave Starz's 'Spartacus', Role Of Naevia Will Be Recast http://1dl.us/fms.jpg http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/04/28/spartacus-naevia/ PHOTO: 'Spartacus' casts its new Naevia -- EXCLUSIVE by James Hibberd Slave leader Spartacus isn’t the only part on Starz’ cult hit that’s being recast for season two. Lesley-Ann Brandt, who played Lucretia’s “body slave” Naevia, left the show during its protracted hiatus. But producers have now found an actress to take over the part, and heeeere she is … EW has exclusively learned that Cynthia Addai-Robinson is the new Naevia, who you’ll recall fell in love with gladiator Crixus during season one. Addai-Robinson was previously in ABC’s Flash Forward and appeared in shows like CSI: NY and and Numbers. She’s repped by Pantheon Talent and Liebman Entertainment. After Starz aired its successful Gods of the Arena prequel in January, and Spartacus season two is expected to return early next year along with newcomer Liam McIntyre replacing Andy Whitfield in the lead role. http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/i...binson_240.jpg |

EDIT: Looks like I was a bit late. There was a site gathering fan comments of support that were printed to a PDF and given to someone close to him to give to him. http://andywhitfield.ausxip.com/ |

Glad you asked. I was going to ask as well. Guy was the toast of the town when he was on the TV show. Get cancer and drop out, and nobody mentions you anymore. That doesn't rank with getting cancer, but I'm sure it doesn't help. I don't belong to twitter or facebook, but if anyone sees a charity he supports where we can donate in his name, I'd appreciate the information.

Re: Andy Whitfield forced to quit Spartacus (Cancer returns)
Liam McIntyre does look similar to Andy in some aspects. I'm looking forward to seeing the 1st trailer and hearing him speak.
BTW, if any of you are interested. Steven DeKnight, the creator and showrunner of Spartacus does post updates on the show on his Twitter feed. http://twitter.com/#!/stevendeknight He says the 1st trailer should appear at the end of this month. |
