Andy Whitfield, currently starring on the Starz hitdrama Spartacus: Blood And Sand has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and will begin treatment immediately in New Zealand, Michael Aussiello reports.
Whitfield's cancer was detected in an early stage and his prognosis is good. "I'm receiving excellent care and am feeling strong, positive and determined with an army of support behind me," he states.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Andy," Starz president Chris Albrecht says, "his health, of course, is our primary concern. He has our complete support during this difficult time."
Due to Whitfield's diagnose, production for the second season of Spartacus, which was scheduled later this month, has been delayed. The show is currently airing it's first season on Starz.
