Very sad news. Such a handsome man. Much too young to die.

That's a lovely tribute, Ben. I don't normally enjoy shows like this as I don't particularly enjoy blood and gore, but my husband likes them! And I have to say I couldn't take my eyes off Andy - he played the part very well and gave it his all. It helped that he was very handsome, too! 
It's sad when anyone dies, but when they are so young and very talented, it's even sadder. I think he could've gone on to 'great and fortunate things'.
I hope you don't mind but I'm going to post a link to your tribute on Andy Whitfield's Memorial page on Facebook - I'm sure his fans would love to read it. Thanks.
