why did they change spartacus actor in season 2
Andy Whitfield In March 2010, Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and began undergoing treatment immediately in New Zealand.[12] This delayed production of season two of Spartacus: Vengeance.[12] While waiting for Whitfield's treatment and expected recovery, the network produced a six-part prequel, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, with only a brief uncredited voiceover from the actor. Although declared cancer-free in June 2010, a routine medical check in September 2010 revealed a relapse[13] and Whitfield was compelled to abandon the role.[14][15][16] Starz recast Australian actor Liam McIntyre as Whitfield's successor.[17]
