Manu Bennett plays Crixus, the Champion of Capua in "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," a Starz original action-adventure drama series, set in Ancient Rome's brutal gladiator arena. Bennett says, "Crixus' role is to lead Spartacus to an understanding of the gladiatorial world, but, in reverse, Spartacus is leading Crixus back to an understanding of life."

Over the past four years Bennett has played action roles involving spectacular fights with the greatest modern-day gladiators from the popular WWE
