[NEWS] "Spartacus" star Andy Whitfield dies at age 39"

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Andy Whitfield, the former star of TV show "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," died on Sunday of lymphoma in Sydney, Australia, at age 39, his representatives said.

Whitfield played the indomitable hero Spartacus in the Starz network show when it launched last year.

The actor, whose other credits included the 2010 film "The Clinic" and the 2007 movie "Gabriel," had to step away from his role on "Spartacus" due to his illness, non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

"On a beautiful sunny Sydney ... morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his loving wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18-month battle with lymphoma cancer," Vashti Whitfield, his wife, said in a statement.

Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said he was "deeply saddened" by Whitfield's loss.

"We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in 'Spartacus' and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life," Albrecht said in a statement. "Andy was an inspiration to all of us as he faced this very personal battle with courage, strength and grace."

Whitfield was born in Wales and later moved to Australia. Due to his illness, he was replaced on "Spartacus" by Australian actor Liam McIntyre.

Obama's talking time

I am not defending the idea of killing someone as an answer to what has happened to the world since the name Osama Bin Laden came in as a real terrorist. Well, I just think it is weird the moment things are happening: the USA is facing one of the worst economic situations of its history.

According to Barack Obama (May, 1^st 2011) “the American people didn’t choose this fight”. But who did it?  I am really sure about that, I mean, nobody wants to live in a planet divided into two worlds, in which, war is a solution for problems we are supposed to face.

Finally, I would like to say that the best way to perform, in this Osama’s case, is not by killing anyone. Bin Laden alive would be the best answer to the world that wants peace. Men are free, even those who fight for any illogical reasons, and every single person should have the right to be judged. And my next question would be: why did you guys not show the body?  Sometimes I am afraid that this is another American way of finding the answer for their problems. And war is not that answer.

From the Book of Ezekiel: "As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people" - Ezekiel 33:11
