I am so bummed out over this. I really enjoyed the series on Starz so much so that I bought the DVD and have played it over and over again. His replacement on the series this coming season looks pretty much like Andy.

SAD News! To be taken so Young from his Family...R.I.P. Andy

[jackhammer91406]

Very sad to read this news in the paper this morning. I followed Andy's situation and was sorry to see him lose his battle with lymphoma. I know how difficult it is to wrestle with this kind of disease.

 

The Spartacus series gave me a lot of enjoyment and not just because of his body, but because he put so much into the role.

 

He is in a place now where he no longer has to struggle.

 

May his family find comfort in his life and peace in his passing.
