We can't find an account of how Crixus was specifically killed. Manu Bennett: That would be a whole new series! We would all be speaking French there.

So that was a very poignant moment for me in terms of going full circle with this television show." Bennett had also been a vocal supporter of the Kickstarter campaign to raise money for Be Here Now, a documentary that chronicles Whitfield's battle with cancer, and called his former co-star a "great, great man."Ĭheck out what else Bennett had to say about his Spartacus swan song:Įven though history dictated that Crixus died, we were still halfway hoping that he'd succeed in taking over Rome. "It was a homage to a similar moment I also had in the first season with Andy Whitfield. "We had a lovely moment where I said to Spartacus, 'I once said we could have been as brothers,'" Bennett says.
That means that he's one of the few who has worked with both of the men who portrayed the series' titular hero: the late Andy Whitfield who died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma after portraying Spartacus in the first season and McIntyre, who took over the role in the second season onward. It's a bittersweet ending for Bennett, who is the only actor to have starred in all three seasons of Spartacus and the prequel series. "Well, historically, it was going to be the case anyway," Bennett tells. And although Crixus' defeat was disheartening, it was to be expected. Spartacus ( Liam McIntyre) led the fugitives north toward the Alps and the promise of freedom, while Crixus ( Manu Bennett) took his group westward towards Rome and ultimately, to their death. On Friday's Spartacus: War of the Damned, the rebel forces parted ways. The Undefeated Gaul finally fulfilled his destiny.
