Beautiful Welsh actor, Andy Whitfield, star of US TV drama Spartacus: Blood and Sand, has died at the age of 39.

Whitfield died on 11 September in Sydney, Australia, 18 months after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His family released the following statement:

β€œOn a beautiful sunny Sydney spring 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. He passed peacefully surrounded by love. Thank you to all his fans whose love and support have help carry him to this point. He will be remembered as the inspiring, courageous and gentle man, father and husband he was.”

Andy Whitfield was born in North Wales and moved to Australia in 1999 to work as an engineer in Lidcombe, before later settling in Sydney. He appeared in several Australian television series before getting his first prominent in the supernatural film Gabriel.

Actor Liam McIntyre took over Whitfield’s role in the Spartacus TV series when Whitfield became ill. Whitfield leaves behind a wife and two children.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body’s immune system. The main symptom of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is swollen glands that do not go away.
