It seems a little wrong to describe its fans as legions perhaps hordes would be better?
How was filming the final episode?
I think that was the right way to end the story, and I hope Andy would like it.
And Im so glad he was there, right at the very end of the final credits.
So I had to stay in this sort of half worn out state.
My poor fiancee was like, are you all right?
and I was like, not really…
But you just have to get through it.
How did you decide on Spartacus accent?
Well, its part Andy and part me.
It seemed right, anyway.
But its not just Aussies who get typecast on accent.
If you were going to create aSpartacusspin off, what would you make?
I personally want a story that bridges the gap between now and Rome becoming an empire under Augustus Caesar.
Youre clearly interested in Roman life did you know much about it before you started working on the show?
Im a huge nerd.
My dream role all I ever wanted to be was Maximus fromGladiator, Russell Crowe… Spartacus is a real hero someone who stood for valuing every human life equally.
Who are the heroes in your life, or the people you admire?
Has playing Spartacus led you to think about modern slavery and human trafficking?
But then you think thats in my comfortable world.
What are your plans now thatSpartacusis over?
I wish I could tell you Im currently waiting to hear if Ive got a really cool job.
Its very hard to believe and still feels very new.
Even the interviews and all the crazy events they get you to do for the show…
I was one of those kids who used to talk too much at school.
Wait, thats my job?
Ive wanted to go to Comic Con for the last ten years!
So I probably wouldnt have made any money at all.
Have you dabbled at all in the writing/directing side of showbusiness?
I used to write all these ideas down for TV shows and films, just because I liked writing.
But now people care and I might even be able to get one of them made its amazing.
If anyone wants to buy them, thatd be nice.
Who are your favourite comic/superheroes?
What would you suggest withdrawing fans get into to make it miss the show less?
Imsoexcited aboutGame Of Thrones.
Who doesnt love pirates, right?
My fiancee and I have been watching it and its amazing.
And finally… Go on, tell us… Whats Spartacus real name?
No, wait, Ringo.
So anyone who was desperate to find out if it was Reginald or something its partially my fault.
But you cant say his name thats ridiculous.
Nobody really wants to hear it you think you do, but you dont.
If Spartacus has no name hes everybody.
Liam McIntyre, thank you very much.
