Greg Michaels No, I'm aware of that, I was a member of that following, but some would argue it is not as renowned as say game of thrones. I love equally though.
TheMadThresher Yes I agree with you 100%. I love them both the same like you, Game of Thrones does have a larger following, but Spartacus was very big too.
When someone says Andy was a good actor or a handome man, etc I always remember Spartacus words about Varro after his death when Doctore tells him that Varro left this world a gladiator and shall be remembered as such, and he replies sth like, " No. He will be remembered as a husband. A father. A friend amongst enemies". Such strong words! And that's how Andy shall always be remembered, besides a great actor he was a magnificent person, and that's above all other things
When i first saw that fight scene between Spartacus and Varro - i was in some kind of a dark shock for two weeks. I watched Spartacus dozens of times since then, but i always skip that episode's finale, right after Andy gains the upper hand. This was such a crushingly dramatic scene...
Still after 9 years whenever I watch an episode of Spartacus it takes me so harshly knowing he's gone. He was so amazing in every way. It is an absolute heartbreak!
Honey Boo boo Thanks for the answer, I remembered. I think she wasn't the right woman for Crixus, she was only whining and crying... Doesn't matter how you call her (Navia, Nevia or Naevia), for me she was domina's slave.
I really like how he addressed Andy Whitfield's children very early in the interview, making sure to leave them with a special thought about their father. But he also showed respect to Liam for taking on the difficult challenge of doing justice to the character. You could tell that the people involved in this series mean a lot to him. Great stuff.
Andy Whitfield was the heart of the show. Sorely missed by all his fans. Liam did as good a job as any actor could do replacing the role of Spartacus, but there was no replacing Andy. He was unique and no one could be him in that role. I really wish we'd of had one more season between Vengeance and War of the Damned, where they freed the villages and grew into an army. I am glad for the prequel though as we might not of had Gannicus in the show.
Gannicus (Dustin Clare) was a great character. He masterfully managed to combine being ultra tough and deadly with being vulnerable and at the mercy of the fickle fate. And he had the most badass one-liners. Gods of the Arena was terrific. Too bad this actor didn't do much else. And we got to register Batiatus as a "likeable villain".
@You hate Facts :D Well, Gannicus' best lines are in the Gods of the Arena. Especially the two that he delivers to before and after his blindfolded fight. (i stopped counting how many times i quoted the first one) Even though he does continue to be a total badass in the subsequent seasons. "...I am the will of Marcus Crassus..." Gannicus: "...and who are you..." (LOL) By the way, my band and i wrote and recorded a song for Spartacus, and dedicated it to Andy Whitfield and all the heroes of the ancient world. If you like traditional metal... ruclips.net/video/RiiMVHNfh9c/видео.html
Not just outside this show. Every other movie/series too. He seems to have his movie voice and his real-life voice as two completely different things. Some actors do that.
Andy was an incredible actor. He was actually at the beginning of his career and died so young...man, we lost what could have been one of the best actors of our time, I'm not even joking.
You're right, Andy's voice held so much strength. That's what stood out his voice and ability to draw your attention. Really miss him and would've love to see where he'd be today.
Manu Bennett and Jai Courtney's careers have ascended greatly after the Spartacus franchise and rightfully so. They earned their roles and I respect that. Andy Whitfield probably would have been an avenger if he were still with us. His roll as Spartacus helped give me confidence in my high school years. I owe many of my habits to this man and will always cherish them. I wish your wife and children the best Andy. RIP brother.
I watched the first season on Netflix before I realized that Andy had passed away the following year. I cried and have been suffering with heartache from it. I'm trying to follow his motto, though, and "Be Here Now."
Well 99% of the time whoever plays the character 1st are who people say are the best and sometimes they are, though it is subjective. People tend to not really give anyone else a chance because they are use to seeing someone else protray the character first. It is human nature and all do this.
Can’t believe its been so long, Andy you shall never be forgotten RIP. He was at the peak of his career, this just proves how life can be so unfair, there is no justice in this world.
Here I am, 2019... I just got to know Spartacus this year and I fucking fell in love with this series. I'm blaming myself for falling in love with Andy Whitfield that much. I noticed that he passed away like 2 weeks ago and I broke. I can't blame it tho', he played his role so well. You could see the energy, this particular something - the spark and love he was putting in that role. He owned it and he killed it literally in all ways possible period on that. He was living Spartacus and he showed us just exactly that. I mean, in his documentary: ''Be Here Now'' he even said; ''I can identify myself with him.'' and he was so right. I'm so sorry to say that, but in my opinion nobody can replace him. Not even Liam, even if he did a decent job. I mean, I didn't knew that he died as I began to watch season 3, first episode. I was shocked when I saw there was a new actor for Spartacus and I was wondering where Andy was and what happend to him? Then I sadly found out that he passed away from us. I was literally devastated, cos I loved him playing his very role. I can't get over it even if this is already 8 years ago. He did some masterpiece. A legend in my eyes, well-deserved.
@@Yubnub_dunduY sadly it is. I just can’t keep going on after s3. It’s like in the show Vikings where nobody is better than Ragnar in his acting skills and persona. After Ragnar died or further before left this goddamn farm, leaving his family in shreds and dirt for another woman, it wasn’t the same show again… the show went limp from then on. After he died as well later on, the show went downhill and wasn’t worthy to watch in my opinion.
manu bennett is the only one in the series that lasted all 4 season of spartacus and being in the series actually he was one of my favorites and still is!!
bibbyshibby his a beast I agree he was always a character I wanted to see in all of Spartacus sad that little pussy boy of craxus killed him In a cowardly way!!!
Andy is amazing and I'm so glad to see Manu take about him and honor him as he should. But I'm also glad that Manu talks about Liam, fandom doesn't give Liam enough credit for what it took to step into a situation like this and having that strength to carry the show forward - Manu is right, Liam grew into role, he grew into that strong man and decisive leader that Spartacus becomes. It's easy to see Andy the only Spartacus, after all we saw him first and we saw him grow into that role. Liam stepped into this as a young man, he was about 10 years younger than Andy who was more worldly experienced in life, but Liam didn't give up, he carried the torch Andy passed onto him and took it across the finish line. He never complained, not even against all the drama and hate from fandom, he worked hard, he did his job, and especially in those last episodes, he truly gave it his all, going into that emotional place to bring such a beautiful performance - Andy would have been proud
Andy Whitfield and Heath Ledger are absolutely the GOATS of acting. So passionate in their arts. So sad we lost them so soon...But always with us in loving memory ❤
Manu, you are such a hero and awesome person! Gratitude for always remembering our beloved Andy and honoring him! He is smiling down on you and all of the cast, his friends! love you guys!
Manu you are a good man and a great actors. you have a tendency to always think of others ..i am glad that you made it to the red carpet, wish you much sucess in your future and hope to see more of you in the movies!
The Starz 'Spartacus' series was fabulous in its '300' style of comic book sex and violence portrayal. What is often overlooked though is how wonderful love was portrayed in the series too, especially the love of Crixus and Navea. It rounded out his character and showed more of what Manu Bennett is capable of as an actor. The same can be said of all the love scenarios in this series, Peter Mensa in 'Gods Of The Arena' stands out in my memory, in fact all of the love was portrayed tenderly and with passion that was the perfect balance needed in a series such as this. Timeless stuff!
The interviewer did a really good job here, he was very respectful when manu was talking about Andy and his family, he asked good questions and gave manu the time to answer and talk without inturupting, if only all interviews were so professional
Love this guy rest in piece Andy honestly went out like a champ I watched be here now even after he's gone still he takes care of his family strong guy
When Andy showed passionate and an intense personality, LIAM showed incredible composure and leadership.. loved both of them.. liam took over the character comfortably as his one.. never felt a difference..
I love Andy, but after seeing season 3 and 4, I appreciate Liam for he has done a great work playing Spartacus...I cried at the end of the series...great work Andy and Liam, forever our Spartacuses
Andy is who kept me in the series and stayed for his tribute for an amazing actor every one did a great job in the series my all time favorite show ive watched it multiple times and still go back to it
Wow! I had no idea Stephen Ammel auditioned for Spartacus. So glad he didn't get it. I have nothing against Liam McIntyre. Don't really know his work but Spartacus Season 2 was TORTURE for me coz I just couldn't see anyone but Any Whitfield as Spartacus. Even today, when someone says Spartacus, for me it's always (and forever will be) Andy Whitfield. What a way to go! Eyes still well up when I think of how young, fit, talented he was. He was a great father from what I read and felt. On a happy note, great to see Manu as Slade in Arrow. Just love it! Arrow and Stephen Ammel as Oliver Queen is just so perfect! East Indian proverb "waqt se pehle, aur kismet se ziada kissi ko nahi milta" never ceases to amaze me! RIP Andy!
Manu You Are sooo Amazingly thoughtful ! Remembering Andy officially . AND OF COURSE ALL YOUR TALENTS! These why YOU ARE MY FAVORITE FROM THE WHOLE SERIE
Manu Bennett you are a gentleman and a star... you talk aboug your late friend and new co-star with pride and passion but play down with humility about your own contribution to this great show. Dude you rocked... the cast couldn't have been better.
Manu Bennett really showed a huge range of acting with Crixus. All of the characters grew over the series. I think his was shown the most. In season 1 him just seemed like a brute, Then the Navia arch comes in and you see his humanity. Then his backstory in God's of the Arena. Where he has to learn quickly. Season 3 you see his passion and leadership. In Season 4 when he says goodbye to Spartacus he gives a brilliant speech. It apposes the rights of all humanity to be free.
Aahh, Andy. If only you could Be Here Now. I think you would have felt Liam did you proud though, when he picked up your mantle. And Manu...you are truly gifted, whether as a gladiator from the past, as a part of a fantasy world, or in the universe of comics on television! Now, I think I have to go binge-watch Spartacus ... again.
Manu is a 100% MAN and 100% Human Being for remembering Andy Whitfield, who so many of us love, respect and will Always remember. Thank you Manu and all the cast for giving us fans the memories we will NEVER forget.
I look at the actors of Spartacus, and my heart squeezes with pain and loss of Andy😰 He had great talent, strong spirit, strong will and unrivaled charisma. A real warrior✊🗡️🛡️ Today is the day of his death. So let's honor his memory standing, friends! For his brilliant mastery in the film industry. "The Kingdom of Heaven to you, Andy. You will forever remain for me the best actor in the world. It is impossible to believe in your loss. We will remember you forever!!! 😥 May your soul find peace. I love you, I grieve, you are with us!"🙏
manu is really going places, saw him first on spartacus and his acting was awesome and you can feel the energy he puts in it, and finally got to see arrow season 2 and him as deathstroke is just.... wow, I can say Manu and Stephen Amell brought me to watch DC universe xD
2023 and just rewatched the first season after watching it initially when I was like 13. Damn, I remember being sad hearing of his passing but as an older man and not just a teenager anymore, it feels so much more devistating and saddening at the talent, the man, the husband, the father, that has passed. But his amazing work will live on. And I’m glad that I know I’m not the only one who wishes him to rest in peace. On a happier note, he did an amazing job as Spartacus. Liam is ok, but Andy really put good work in Spartacus and even now watching season 3, can’t help but imagine how great Andy would’ve done in all these scenes. Respect and love to Manu and the crew. RIP Andy and my condolences to the family. You’ll live on in history for your amazing portrayal as Spartacus and I’m sure many more things that we don’t know but the family does. RIP🕊️
having watched the first season knowing of Andy Whitfield's death is heart breaking. Seeing him alive and so full of life to be taken away by cancer within such a short time is mind boggling. My heart goes out to his wife and young family. Your loss is unbearable. By our gain is watching such a fine young man act and become part of our hearts as Spartacus. I'm so sad of his untimely demise. My heart goes out to his family and I thank you for sharing your talent as an actor. Forever in our hearts. Such a sad sad sad loss. :(
Crixus, my favorite Spartacus character! It's weird to hear him talk in his normal voice, though. Alot of respect for him in this interview, and he's a great actor. I hope he gets the recognition in Hollywood that he deserves.
Andy. I miss you so much. You were such a amazing actor and great human being and your light just shined to bright for this world, so God brought you to heaven to entertain Him.
If Andy was alive he would be one of the best actors in the world..I love him as his fan..sad😟
He is the best actor. Might not be the most powerful but the best
agreed
he still is in our hearts ....
and he still is
Gulderaiym Orazgali Agree 100%
This man has his moment in the spotlight and what is the first thing he does? Honours a fallen gladiator....now there is a real fucking human.
not sure being interviewed by PacificRimVideos can be called spotlight, but still good human, RIP Andy
Well spartacus was never really mainstream. I mean STARZ is no HBO...but I think it's the equivalent of spotlight in the spartacus world.
TheMadThresher Spartacus had a huge huge following actually.
Greg Michaels No, I'm aware of that, I was a member of that following, but some would argue it is not as renowned as say game of thrones. I love equally though.
TheMadThresher Yes I agree with you 100%. I love them both the same like you, Game of Thrones does have a larger following, but Spartacus was very big too.
Looked like he was struggling really hard not to cry. Couldn't blame him
There is a video where you can see him choking back the tears. Just shows that he has a big heart.
***** do you know what video that is?
Merciless Gladiator I wish I could remember. It was before the Vengeance season. Google Manu Bennett, Andy Whitfield. Should be in there.
***** There you go.. www.accesshollywood.com/spartacus-star-manu-bennetts-touching-words-for-the-family-of-the-late-andy-whitfield_video_1380011
That is why he is such a great actor too, such emotion. I can see him crying over a brother or ripping the throat out of a bad guy irl lol

Man that episode really fcked me up for weeks. When Spartacus was in his room going through the emotions. That showed Andy’s true talent
Still after 9 years whenever I watch an episode of Spartacus it takes me so harshly knowing he's gone. He was so amazing in every way. It is an absolute heartbreak!
Yes it breaks the heart.
Even The Undefeated Gaul can cry!
when did he cry?
Merciless Gladiator in Spartacus
Honey Boo boo Which episode? I saw all episodes, but I don't remember right now. Btw, Manu/Crixus is soooo sexy :D
he cried a lot but one of them was when Agron lies to him about Navia(don't know how to spell her name) being dead
Honey Boo boo Thanks for the answer, I remembered. I think she wasn't the right woman for Crixus, she was only whining and crying... Doesn't matter how you call her (Navia, Nevia or Naevia), for me she was domina's slave.

and now im sad that im too late to knowing that such good actor passed. left me speechless. literally bawling
omg, i just cant believe it.
Crixus, Deathstroke and Azog. what a champ this guy is.
Ikr he plays these characters soooo well
The Condemned and the Marine had him too.
And some other teen-fantasy TV-series, don't recall the name.
yea I hope he continues to add to that badass resume

True .!!
Well Said!!
Gannicus (Dustin Clare) was a great character. He masterfully managed to combine
being ultra tough and deadly with being vulnerable and at the mercy of the fickle fate.
And he had the most badass one-liners. Gods of the Arena was terrific.
Too bad this actor didn't do much else. And we got to register Batiatus as a "likeable villain".
@You hate Facts :D Well, Gannicus' best lines are in the Gods of the Arena.
Especially the two that he delivers to before and after his blindfolded fight.
(i stopped counting how many times i quoted the first one)
Even though he does continue to be a total badass in the subsequent seasons.
"...I am the will of Marcus Crassus..." Gannicus: "...and who are you..." (LOL)
By the way, my band and i wrote and recorded a song for Spartacus, and
dedicated it to Andy Whitfield and all the heroes of the ancient world.
If you like traditional metal...
ruclips.net/video/RiiMVHNfh9c/видео.html
Gannicus as a general in Spartacus army was historically accurate
His tone is so different outside the show. In it, he's kinda melancholic all the time.
xxlCortez had wondered what his actual voice sounded like.
Not just outside this show. Every other movie/series too. He seems to have his
movie voice and his real-life voice as two completely different things. Some actors do that.
Manu has so much skill in what he does. He is arguably the best actor in the series arrow. Damn good job.
Honestly i think most of the actors are very good, there's not one i can find that's not good :)
Eric Holmqvist Welllll...... I could name 27 now lol

you guys created and produced greatest tv series Spartacus, a tribute to Andy Whitfield he was very talented god bless him.
Manu You Are sooo Amazingly thoughtful ! Remembering Andy officially . AND OF COURSE ALL YOUR TALENTS! These why YOU ARE MY FAVORITE FROM THE WHOLE SERIE
May Andy's memory live as long as Spartacus himself. Hated to see such a promising talent go too soon.
Crixus!!! He was born to play that part and the range of emotions he displayed was just mind blowing! Best character on the show, if you ask me!
it's hard to realize he's gone
So tragic Andy passed so young, it was an excellent show made believable by Andy, god bless you and your family Andy, god bless the “ bringer of rain”
Manu Bennett you are a gentleman and a star... you talk aboug your late friend and new co-star with pride and passion but play down with humility about your own contribution to this great show. Dude you rocked... the cast couldn't have been better.
Andy Whitfield was an incredible actor. His portrayal of Spartacus was simply stunning. An awesome actor and human being. We miss him
Manu is such a cool dude. U can tell he love what he do and is fascinated wit these projects
Andy Whitfield was the man for me to watch R.I.P
I fucking love Manu Bennett in Arrow and Spartacus!
Amazing actor Andy #phenomenal R.I.P
When I saw the tv series Spartacus I began to love him😘♥️Andy Whitfield😘😘😘
Great man, and he's very respectful, kudos to you mate xx
The undefeated Gaul gave highly credits to Andy n Liam.. Good to see u in nearly tears n smile..
Manu Bennett really showed a huge range of acting with Crixus. All of the characters grew over the series. I think his was shown the most. In season 1 him just seemed like a brute, Then the Navia arch comes in and you see his humanity. Then his backstory in God's of the Arena. Where he has to learn quickly. Season 3 you see his passion and leadership. In Season 4 when he says goodbye to Spartacus he gives a brilliant speech. It apposes the rights of all humanity to be free.
Aahh, Andy. If only you could Be Here Now. I think you would have felt Liam did you proud though, when he picked up your mantle. And Manu...you are truly gifted, whether as a gladiator from the past, as a part of a fantasy world, or in the universe of comics on television! Now, I think I have to go binge-watch Spartacus ... again.
Manu is a 100% MAN and 100% Human Being for remembering Andy Whitfield, who so many of us love, respect and will Always remember. Thank you Manu and all the cast for giving us fans the memories we will NEVER forget.
Love Mamu's as a person, so humble and articulate, down to earth, well spoken person. Wish him the best
R.I.P Andy .......
Incredible men... wishing you all the best of the best!
RIP. Andy will always be our Spartacus .You will forever be in our hearts .X
Andy was one of the most humble and one of the greatest actor and warrior for us, his fans
I look at the actors of Spartacus, and my heart squeezes with pain and loss of Andy😰 He had great talent, strong spirit, strong will and unrivaled charisma. A real warrior✊🗡️🛡️ Today is the day of his death. So let's honor his memory standing, friends! For his brilliant mastery in the film industry. "The Kingdom of Heaven to you, Andy. You will forever remain for me the best actor in the world. It is impossible to believe in your loss. We will remember you forever!!! 😥 May your soul find peace. I love you, I grieve, you are with us!"🙏
Spartacus always andy whitfield nobody can replace him....
manu is really going places, saw him first on spartacus and his acting was awesome and you can feel the energy he puts in it, and finally got to see arrow season 2 and him as deathstroke is just.... wow, I can say Manu and Stephen Amell brought me to watch DC universe xD
2023 and just rewatched the first season after watching it initially when I was like 13. Damn, I remember being sad hearing of his passing but as an older man and not just a teenager anymore, it feels so much more devistating and saddening at the talent, the man, the husband, the father, that has passed. But his amazing work will live on. And I’m glad that I know I’m not the only one who wishes him to rest in peace. On a happier note, he did an amazing job as Spartacus. Liam is ok, but Andy really put good work in Spartacus and even now watching season 3, can’t help but imagine how great Andy would’ve done in all these scenes. Respect and love to Manu and the crew. RIP Andy and my condolences to the family. You’ll live on in history for your amazing portrayal as Spartacus and I’m sure many more things that we don’t know but the family does. RIP🕊️
he looks the interviewer in the eyes mate. Undivided attention, most actors treat these opportunities like a waste of time. Major respect to Manu.
Great Actor!!!! Hope to see his movies soon!
He is so different in real life from his characters. I dont know why she pretends to rasp his voice when he acts when in fact he has a goodamn voice
Gratitude for all what u have given us❤
having watched the first season knowing of Andy Whitfield's death is heart breaking. Seeing him alive and so full of life to be taken away by cancer within such a short time is mind boggling. My heart goes out to his wife and young family. Your loss is unbearable. By our gain is watching such a fine young man act and become part of our hearts as Spartacus. I'm so sad of his untimely demise. My heart goes out to his family and I thank you for sharing your talent as an actor. Forever in our hearts. Such a sad sad sad loss. :(
I have massive amounts of respect for Manu. Seems like a really a humble and nice guy.
Awesome actor...GREAT SHOW!!!
I've only seen him in Spartacus, not sure of his acting range but his acting in that show was superb
He's Azog in The Hobbit too.
Maximilian von Stephanides
Cool I'm getting rdy to watch Desolation of Smaug too xD
He's also in Green Arrow atm
Joe Mama Nice!
Crixus, my favorite Spartacus character! It's weird to hear him talk in his normal voice, though. Alot of respect for him in this interview, and he's a great actor. I hope he gets the recognition in Hollywood that he deserves.
Andy my hero,l loved his composure behind the camera...sadly missed.
i love to see actors in real form. his voice demeanor is so different! love him!
Andy. I miss you so much. You were such a amazing actor and great human being and your light just shined to bright for this world, so God brought you to heaven to entertain Him.
