Remembering and Honoring Andy Whitfield

Last fall, cancer pulled a bitch move and took Andy Whitfield, the star of Starz’s Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

The guy was pretty much on top on the world when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He took himself out of the game, got better before he got sick again, eventually leaving the series – and the world – for good.

He left something behind, though.

Whitfield and his family joined forces with documentary filmmakers to work on Be Here Now, a film that chronicles his battle against the disease. However, the doc is not finished, and the powers that be need just a little more money to complete the project and fulfill the actor’s final wish: to share his story and his strength with the world.
