1. Spartacus wasn't really my kinda show.. but he was quite the athlete...
and damn, 39 is so young. That is really tragic. Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma often has a better prognosis. He really got the raw deal.

5. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Spartacus
I really didn't like the graphic violence, but I kept coming back week after week because of his performance. He portrayed a dignified man in a barbaric situation, I loved watching him.
