Career

Although McIntyre has started his career in mostly short films, the actor had more promising roles guest starring in Australia's popular television series' Rush and Neighbours. His first feature film starring role came in the Craig Newland directed film Frozen Moments. McIntyre made his US television debut guest starring in an episode of the award nominated HBO mini-series The Pacific.

McIntyre was chosen to replace Welsh actor, the late Andy Whitfield who had to withdraw from the role of Spartacus when his cancer came back while filming.[2][3] McIntyre is currently in New Zealand, getting himself into "gladiator" shape in order to take on the iconic role of the Thracian warrior.
