Craig Parker in Spartacus: Vengeance


 Craig Parker (born 12 November 1970) is an actor from New Zealand, best known for his roles as Haldir in The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and The Two Towers (2003), Darken Rahl in Legend of the Seeker (2008–10) and Gaius Claudius Glaber in Spartacus. (2010–12)


Spartacus: Vengeance is the title of the second season of Spartacus, a New Zealand produced, Starz television series, which follows Spartacus: Blood and Sand. It premiered on January 27, and concluded on March 30, 2012. Its story follows Spartacus (played by Liam McIntyre, who replaces the late Andy Whitfield), after he and his fellow gladiators kill their master Batiatus and escape from his ludus, or gladiatorial training school. Cast members and characters who return from the first season include Lucy Lawless as Lucretia, Peter Mensah as Oenomaus, Manu Bennett as Crixus, Dan Feuerriegel as Agron, Nick E. Tarabay as Ashur, Viva Bianca as Ilithyia, and Craig Parker as Gaius Claudius Glaber. Dustin Clare also reprises his role as Gannicus from Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, the prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand.


 On June 6, 2012 Starz and Anchor Bay Entertainment announced the season would be released in DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats on September 11, 2012 in a three-disc set. It was then announced that a third and final season will start in 2013 and would be known as Spartacus: War of the Damned.


 Plot
After the bloody escape from the House of Batiatus that concluded Spartacus: Blood and Sand, the gladiator rebellion begins to strike fear into the heart of the Roman Republic in Spartacus: Vengeance. Praetor Claudius Glaber and his Roman troops are sent to Capua to crush Spartacus' growing band of freed slaves before they can inflict further damage. But Spartacus finally comes face to face with the man who sold his wife into slavery and condemned Spartacus to slavery as a gladiator owned by Batiatus. But Glaber falls in the attempt of killing Spartacus. Former champion and God of the Arena Gannicus returns to fight Spartacus, only to join and aid Spartacus as he takes on the Roman Republic, lead by Marcus Crassus. Spartacus is given a choice between satisfying his personal need for vengeance against the man who condemned his wife to slavery and eventual death, or making the larger sacrifices necessary to keep his budding army from breaking apart.

 Craig Parker as Gaius Claudius Glaber – Ilithyia's husband and a praetor. Responsible for Spartacus' enslavement as a gladiator, he is now tasked with putting down the revolt




Big effin’ kudos to the people behind Spartacus: Vengeance for making a gladiator show with cocks. Wasn't everyone fighting naked back then? Or at the very least with no pants on. Remember Gladiator with Russell Crowe? That bitch almost had a three piece suit on. This was ancient times! All the guys were fucking each other and wearing very little clothing. Finally someone got it right

Anyway, here’s actor Craig Parker showing off his goods.
