'Spartacus' star Whitfield dies of lymphoma at 39
News from The Associated Press (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBIT_ANDY_WHITFIELD?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-09-11-20-42-20)
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Andy Whitfield, the 39-year-old star of the cable series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," has died.
Manager Sam Maydew says Whitfield died Sunday of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Sydney, Australia.
Whitfield's wife Vashti in a statement called her husband a "beautiful young warrior" who died on a "sunny Sydney morning" in the "arms of his loving wife."
Whitfield - who was born in Wales and lived in Australia - was a virtual unknown when he was cast as the title hero in "Spartacus," a hit original series for the Starz network that made waves with its graphic violence and sexuality.
Whitfield was preparing for the second season when he was diagnosed 18 months ago.
RIP :(

First time I heard of the guy was from this video, made one year ago. Which means he was already sick during its filming. Seemed like a cool guy, sad to see another victim of cancer.

For those of you who don't like the show, watch past episode 3-4. It gets really good in the second half.
