Its so ironic that in real life, the actor who played Varro lives, while the actor who played Spartacus died.

@Poufkimashoula1 I think as fans of both the show and the actor we all mourn his death. But even though many are skeptical of Liam taking over I think we should honor Andy's wish and support that he wanted the show to continue with out him.

I cried when Varro died, now I'm devastated that Andy's gone

I felt the exact same way. There was a great bond between those two characters

Andy and Jai were AMAZING in that scene! Aww...Varro will be missed! I also liked the scene where they are thrown into the sewage hole, Lol! Their faces were hilarious!

@XShad0wF1ashX Aaaaaah, well, maybe not great. But it was good enough.

@SpaceMonkey1983 Honestly I dont think there was much acting involved. The probably actually got really close so it must've been hard for him to "kill" his best friend you know?
