Very sad

I wish there was more progress in getting rid of this fukcing disease

Jelle1880 · 12-09-2011 9:39am

Last I heard he beat it, shocking news

Kirby · 12-09-2011 10:06am

That happened quite fast.

If you look up "Andy Whitfield and Freddy Wong" on youtube he looked so healthy when he was in remission. He was all set to start season 3 of Spartacus. Then it comes back. Feel sorry for his family.

robby^5 · 12-09-2011 10:23am

RIP.

He was the highlight of the show and it wont be the same without him, felt like there were big things ahead of him.

BostonB · 12-09-2011 10:26am

Really enjoyed this show with him in it. Very sad.

Kiith · 12-09-2011 10:50am

I had no idea he was so far along. And after beating it once already, it's terrible to hear that he pass away.

RIP Andy.

Very sad news. Great actor, loved him in his last role. He will be very hard to replace.

Taco Corp · 12-09-2011 11:06am

Terrible news.

Just goes to show that it doesn't matter how physically fit or otherwise you are.

J-blk · 12-09-2011 11:08am

That's terrible to hear, hadn't heard any updates since he dropped out of "Spartacus" for good awhile back and I was hoping no news meant good news. Very sad news indeed.

RIP Andy.

blastman · 12-09-2011 11:41am

Just read this on another site, very sad news. RIP.

MagicMarker · 12-09-2011 12:11pm

Really really sad, he was immense as Spartacus!

vetinari · 12-09-2011 1:50pm

RIP Andy

crank_1975 · 12-09-2011 2:37pm

Very sad, not sure if I want to watch next series now tbh.

nyarlothothep · 12-09-2011 2:48pm

Its a tragedy. He was a great actor with a lot of promise, which he mostly fulfilled, I could see him in films, he had that level of screen presence. It shouldn't have happened but at least he defined a role that will never be forgotten, that's better than what most actors achieve. RIP Andy Whitfield.
