After a long search,
STARZ has found their new Spartacus, a man who will replace
Andy Whitfield in the second season of their super popular epic series
SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SAND. The lucky guy is young
Liam McIntyre, whom
HOLLYWOOD SPY has mentioned before as the possible candidate. The Australian actor will now play the Thracian warrior sold into slavery in the
Roman Republic, after which he became the champion of the arena, and then he lead the slave revolt which we've seen in the end of the first season. We've seen McIntyre in TV series
THE PACIFIC, NEIGHBOURS and he will, as producers said, take Spartacus forward instead of just replacing Whitfield.
