He is Spartacus

Sword and sandals epics seem to be very much back in vogue with the forthcoming Clash of the Titans remake - starring the splendid Sam Worthington - and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - starring the thinking man's hunk and everyone's favourite gay cowboy Jake Gyllenhaal.

Anyway, here's Welsh-born Australian [?] actor and former model Andy Whitfield in new US TV series Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

Nice chest. And I especially like the loincloth-clad chunky fellows behind Andy in the bottom picture...





For any of you who are really gay, the series also stars former Xena star Lucy Lawless, John Hannah (of Four Weddings fame) and at least two other hunky Aussie actors.
