He also had a successful modeling career, which began while he was still working as an engineer, with appearances in dozens of ads around Europe and Asia.
Whitfield met his wife, Vashti Whitfield, in London, and they got married in 2001, and had two children together. Unfortunately, in 2010, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which delayed his filming on the “Spartacus” series. He was proclaimed to be in remission later that year, but a few months later, he relapsed and had to give up his part in the series. Liam McIntyre went on to play Spartacus.
Whitfield died of the disease on September 11, 2011. He was 39 years old.
