Spartacus : Gods Of The Arena - The Prequel

Jacob Tomuri (who was Lieutenant Luke in The Tribe) was looking awesome in Spartacus : Blood And Sand. Currently Jacob is filming the prequel to the STARZ series; Spartacus : Gods Of The Arena.

You can keep updated with Jacob on the filming of the series by following him on Twitter. Previous musings of his were:
“My G string is killing me. Ladies, I don’t know how you do it. Seriously. #Onsetofspartacus” (26th August)
“‘We need blood… urgently!…. a lot of it!’ #Thingsyouhearonspartacus” (5th August)

Jacob specialises in stunt work. Though it seems he is currently learning archery, could this be a sign of things to come in Spartacus? Filming for Spartacus : Gods Of The Arena began early in August 2010.
