He was only 39 years old.
Whitfield became famous for his leading role in the Starz original series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand.
In 2009, Andy landed the role as Spartacus, which immediately launched him to stardom. The first season of the show proved to be popular among audiences primarily because of Whitfield's amazing portrayal of the slave-leading character, Spartacus. Naturally, Starz renewed the series for a second season, but was put on hiatus due to Andy's cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, Andy was never able to film the second season - but did make a brief appearance in the prequel series, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.
