He was 39 years old.Whitfield, who was born in Wales and lived in Australia, was a virtual unknown when he was cast as the title hero in "Spartacus," a hit original series that made waves with its graphic violence and sexuality. The actor was preparing for the second season when he was diagnosed 18 months ago. In January, the network announced that another Australian actor, Liam McIntyre, would take over the role."We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in 'Spartacus] and came to know that the man who played a champion onscreen was also a champion in his own life," said the network. "Andy was an inspiration to all of us as he faced this very personal battle with courage, strength and grace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and fans.Whitfield's wife Vashti in a statement called her husband a "beautiful young warrior" who died on a "sunny Sydney morning" in the "arms of his loving wife."
