'Spartacus' Recap: Manu Bennett On Crixus' Journey In 'Separate Paths' And Fan Support (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)

'Spartacus' Video Recap: Manu Bennett On Crixus' Journey And Fan Support
|

As "Spartacus" nears its bloody conclusion, the war between rebels and Romans has intensified, seeing Crixus (Manu Bennett) challenging Spartacus' (Liam McIntyre) leadership and straining the relationship between the former rivals-turned-brothers.

Every week after the West Coast airing of "Spartacus: War Of The Damned" (10 p.m. PST/1 a.m. EST), The Huffington Post is hosting an exclusive video recap featuring one of the stars of the series. The actors reminisce with HuffPost TV's Laura Prudom about their experience filming that week's episode, their character's arc, and how they approached the end of the resilient series.

In the exclusive video above, we talk to Manu Bennett, who has portrayed the undefeated Gaul Crixus since the show's inception. We'll discuss his character's tumultuous journey, his relationship with Spartacus, and what he'd like to say to the fans as the show comes to an end.

"Spartacus: War of the Damned" airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on Starz.

What did you think of "Separate Paths"? Do you think it was a fitting end for Crixus? What was your reaction to that Tiberius/Caesar scene? Weigh in below!
