Australian film and TV actor Liam McIntyre has excelled at a grueling and rigorous audition process to claim the title role in the second season of Starz' hit franchise, 'Spartacus,' Starz, LLC, President and CEO Chris Albrecht announced today.
Spartacus wasn't the first champion of the arena. Many men lived and died on the sands before him. 'Spartacus: Gods of the Arena,' the highly anticipated prequel to Starz' hit series 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand,' brings to life the story of Gannicus, the first gladiator to become Champion of Capua. Australian actor Dustin Clare has been tapped for the role in the series which begins production this August and will air early next year on Starz.
