Farewell, Spartacus

[destina]

For those few Spartacus: Blood and Sand fans on my flist - Andy Whitfield has died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I just finished a rewatch of Spartacus a few days ago, and I was struck all over again by how good he really was in the role, and by his beautiful eyes. He was only 39. Too young

That's so sad. I will be happy to continue to see his face in your discussions of the show.

I think I need to find one that shows his beautiful eyes, because, as they say. Windows to the soul. (So, so sad.)

[destina]

Me, too. And his friends; his co-workers seemed to adore him.

wasn't a hugh fan of the show, but its sad that he has lost his battle. He was too young to pass.

[destina]

It seems so shocking, even when someone has been ill for a while, when they are young like this. Just...not right, somehow.

I was really hoping he'd beat it. He was just way, way too young. :(

I've never seen the show, but for me, the news makes jarrow's vid all the more poignant.

I think the show probably wouldn't be your cuppa, but you know, John's vid distills out much of the beauty amongst the ugliness, and you're right - it's even more poignant, now.

oh no! I loved that guy!!! :( He had the most beautiful emotive eyes! He will always be Spartacus to me!

[destina]

He did - his eyes were really remarkable.
