Nick Tarabay stars in "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" on Starz as gladiator Ashur. Having just arrived with the new batch of recruits, Ashur is swept up in the grueling fight to survive and prove himself worthy enough to secure standing as a gladiator.

Tarabay was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, where his mother enrolled him in art classes and he also became a successful college athlete, playing semi-pro soccer for both Lebanon and Kuwait leagues. He moved to New York, where he soon joined the Terry Schreiber Actors Studio and was cast in several off-Broadway plays. He made his television debut in "Sex and the City" and soon after that he landed his recurring role as the sexy drug dealer Matush in "The Sopranos," after which he moved to Los Angeles.
After working in episodes of shows such as "CSI: Miami," "The Unit" and "Moonlight," he was cast as hot-blooded police lieutenant Axel Finet in the Starz original series "Crash." He was originally slated for just three episodes of that series but he became a series regular once the network saw his work—the producers loved Axel too much to kill him.
