Our Beloved Spartacus May Have Found Its New Spartacus

CALAMITOUS

It looks like Wentworth Miller, the rough and tumble hotty whom you're probably most familiar with as the star of the Fox drama "Prison Break," is gunning to play Spartacus. But is the hunky actor hunky enough for the role?

We actually watched a few episodes of "Prison Break" back in the day and in a way we're pretty excited about the idea of Miller as the new Spartacus. The man is actually a terrific actor and brought a lot to the show, as much of it as we watched, anyway. Here's the problem: We don't know if Miller is really buff enough to pull off the whole Roman gladiator thing.

Sure, he was hot on "Prison Break." We certainly wouldn't mind seeing Wentworth Miller circa 2008 running around wearing nothing but a leather diaper and a few scrapes. But we kind of want our new beloved Spartacus to be…oh, how can we put this... a muscle god, and, if this photo from this past April is any indication, Miller simply is not in the best shape of his life right now. He would definitely need to put in a few months with a personal trainer before we could believe him as our beloved Spartacus, but we wouldn't mind seeing it happen.
