ReplyDeleteYou are in my heart and thoughts Ande. Get strong and come back to Spartacus as there is no one else that can play that role other than you. You are an amazing actor. Im a new fan and it was spartacus that drew me to your talent. I continue to praise your skills and hope that the producers of the show pull out of their dicision to cast Liam McIntyre as your replacement. Fans will drop if that happens. May god give you strength. Your a warrior. God bless.
