one of the best stars on the best tv show The Spartacus has died at the young age of 39 . my heart goes out to his family,wife and kids R.I.P


The Spartacus: Blood And Sand star passed away at his home in Sydney, Australia after succumbing to non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

He was struck down with the disease last year when he was preparing to shoot a second series of the dramatic show, and was forced to make way for Liam McIntyre to replace him.

Following his passing, Whitfield?s wife paid tribute to her husband, calling him a ?beautiful young warrior? who died on a ?sunny Sydney morning? in the ?arms of his loving wife?.

And now his friends and former colleagues have rushed to pay their condolences.

Lutz writes on Twitter.com, ?Just landed & read abt (about) Andy Whitfield passing away. Tragic, such an amazing actor. He made Spartacus! My condolences to his fam/friends. RIP.?

Lawless, who starred with him in Spartacus, writes on her website, ?Obviously, Andy Whitfield left an indelible mark on all of us in the Spartacus family. Andy?s incandescent film presence made men want to be him and women want to marry him.?

?Andy?s two babies will always know that their Daddy cherished them and their mother, Vashti, above all things. How lucky we were to have him grace all our lives.?

Such a shame, one of the few TV shows I really enjoyed. A superb actor.
