Wentworth Miller Eyeing Spartacus?

Ex-Prison Break star Wentworth Miller has expressed interest in taking over the title role in Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

As reported recently, the Starz series — which briefly considered “closing up shop” after leading man Andy Whitfield dropped out to resume treatment for his Non-Hodgkin lymphoma — is moving forward with the recast option.

But is Miller right for the part? Since his Fox series wrapped, he’s been largely out of the limelight. And when he has been spotted, he hasn’t quite been the picture of buffness that the sand-and-sandals epic demands. Of course, that’s nothing a month or two with a personal trainer couldn’t fix.

Personally, he doesn’t seem quite right to play Spartacus. My pick to replace Andy is True Blood‘s, Grant Bowler.
