Unfortunately Andy Whitfield has a cancer and despite a long cure is not recovering well. Here is what Wikipedia says about it:
"In March 2010, Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, beginning treatment immediately in New Zealand. This delayed production of season two of Spartacus: Blood and Sand.
In June it was announced that Whitfield completely finished his treatment, had a clean bill of health and was expected to be back on the set of Spartacus: Blood and Sand by October. Three months later, in September, it was announced that Whitfield's cancer had returned and he would not be returning for the second season of Spartacus.
Whitfield will make a brief appearance in the prequel mini-series Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, scheduled to premiere in January 2011."
All the best to him!
