Whitfield, may he rest in peace.
I was so sad to hear about Andy passing away. He was outstanding as Spartacus. Really a great performance.
It’s sad and frightening that a young man in such incredible shape can be struck down like that.
Really a wake-up call for everyone.
RIP Andy W. you will be missed
Ah, Starz cashing in on the recent publicity from Whitfield’s death ….
I dont think the show is as big of a success to cash in on Andy. It seems as they are really paying respect to him.
Cashing in? How do you figure? Starz owns the rights to Spartacus! If you’d think right, and do some reading, you’d realize that this is a memorial to an actor who was hired by Starz to play Spartacus, and did a damn fine job at it, too! STFU, a-hole!
Loved Whitfield since GABRIEL. RIP.

Andy made an indelible mark and a lasting impression of the kind of person that he was, a good, kind person.
Condolences to the family & everyone who feels the loss of this real hero.

what a loss. such a tragic story. Mr. Whitfield went away within a year. this is just so unfair!
Rest in Peace Mr. Whitfield.
A great actor, a great loss… but heavens gain….rest in peace.
Funny how seeing anything on Andy Whitfield always chokes me up like I actually knew him personally. I guess that’s the power of film and the Internet. RIP
I’m so sorry to hear of Andy’s passing. I can’t describe the depth of my sadness such a beautiful man has been taken from us too soon… my heartfelt condolences to his family.
I have only seen andy on spartacus and i think the man was a great actor who deserved a good career.
So sad… He was such an amazing actor. A great talent and an even greater loss, RIP, you will be missed.
I can’t believe the sad news that I read today regarding Andy’s passing. I was looking forward to him making a full recovery and returning to the show. Andy made Spartacus a hit. May God bless your family and watch over you in heaven. Your fans will miss you.
So huge loss for humanity

The sequels of Spartacus make no sense in the future
R.I.P. beautiful being!
