Erin Cummings as Sura the Thracian wife of Spartacus. The most well-known of the trio is Aiden (middle), who cut his teeth on “All My Children” and cut a rug on “Dancing with the Stars.”Īfter that Stephen (bottom) has the most experience, starring alongside Mischa Barton in the little seen WWII drama “Closing the Ring” and the gay soap opera “Dante’s Cove.”īringing up the rear is model turned actor Liam McIntyre, whose biggest gig to date was one episode of “The Pacific” and a couple of short films in his native Australia.Īt this point, none of them have participated in a project that would make them the obvious choice, but after watching whatever I could find of the three on YouTube, I am throwing my firm support behind Liam, who actually looks quite a bit like Andy in these self-produced “I need a job” audition tapes.
