My husband and I came across Spartacus: Blood and Sand in 2010. Although the
show was a bit gruesome, we were immediately hooked. We watched Spartacus: Gods
of the Arena in 2011 but sadly lost interest for Spartacus: Vengeance in 2012.
We lost interest because the main character, Andy Whitfield, died September 11,
2011.
Do you ever feel like you get to know a character in a movie, series or book? Like you personally know that character or person? You kind of fall in love with the character. You say, no one else can ever play that part the way he does. You see his real life and relate to it. You feel bad when bad things happen and happy when good things happen to him.
That's kind of what happened. We kind of fell in love with Andy Whitfield. Ok, I did. But I know my husband and I were both sad to find out that Andy died of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and we both knew the show would just not be the same without him.
My heart immediately broke for his family. For his wife, his son, 6 and daughter, 4. I thought about how young Andy was and how sad it is that his beautiful children will not grow up with their father who obviously loved them very much.
I bring this up now because I came across this article about the documentary of Andy's last year and a half on Earth.
Andy Whitfield Documentary
I cried. I want to see this documentary finished. I want to see this man's amazing life. I really hope they get this documentary finished because I think it's an amazing story and i just wanted to share it with all of you.
Have you ever felt that kind of connection with someone in a movie, series or book?
