Aiden Turner Up for Big Role!!

Ace Showbiz is reporting that Aiden Turner (ex-Aidan) is in the running for the title role in the Starz original series, Spartacus:  Blood and Sand.  Andy Whitfield, who originated the role in the series, has had to drop out due to a recurrence of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.  The actor is undergoing aggressive treatment.

Up against Aiden for the role are Stephen Amell and Liam McIntyre.  All three candidates will be in New Zealand this week for a screen test and the choice will probably be made this week since filming is to begin soon.  Good luck Aiden!!!
