Hannah describes Batiatus as a businessman trying to make a living in a world in which slavery exists and there are no moral qualms about killing people for entertainment.
Hannah称Batiatus这一角色其实是个竭力谋生的商人，在这个以奴隶角斗流血为乐的时代，奴隶死亡对于人们不会有任何道义上的不安，在这个时代中作为商人为了实现利益是更加的不择手段。
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Hannah served his apprenticeship as an electrician before entering the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama at 20.

杰·考特尼(Jai Courtney)饰演维罗（Varro）
杰·考特尼Australian actor Jai Courtney plays Varro in “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” a Starz original action-adventure drama series, set in the brutal Roman gladiator era.
澳大利亚演员Jai Courtney在Starz电视台原创的，以残暴的古罗马角斗士时代为背景的动作惊险类型电视系列剧《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》中饰演维罗。
In an unusual move, Varro puts himself into the gladiator training Ludus, seeing it as a way out of his gambling debts. Courtney says Varro “probably thinks of himself as being handy enough with the blade to manage that. His best option in life is to fight for what he needs for him and his family.”
与其他人进入训练营的举动不同，维罗之所以进入鲁德斯角斗士训练营是为了来还清赌债。Courtney说，“维罗可能认为自己善于舞刀动枪，他觉得活着就是为了通过决斗努力获取他需要的东西，为他自己，也为了他的家庭。
Varro becomes Spartacus’ only friend, Courtney says, “they realized that they’ve got a common goal, the need for survival, so there's an understanding between them that forms their bond.”
维罗成为斯巴达克斯唯一的朋友。Courtney说，“他们意识到他们已经有了一个共同的目标：那就是生存，所以正是他们俩的互相理解让他们二人团结在一起。”

莱斯丽-安·布莱德Lesley-Ann Brandt饰演女奴妮维雅（Naevia）
莱斯丽-安·布莱德
This Cape Town, South African native portrays Naevia, Lucretia’s slave who has lived within the ludus walls since birth. In one of the more heart-pumping side plots of the Starz original series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” a forbidden affair draws her into a seductive yet dangerous love triangle.
来自南非开普敦的Lesley-Ann Brandt在Starz原创大剧《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》中饰演Naevia，一位Lucretia最信任的奴隶，从一出生就生活在ludus训练场里。她在剧中与Crixus那段美妙的恋情触犯了奴隶的基本法则，同时触犯了Lucretia的利益，这一三角关系也将她卷入危险之境。这可以算是剧中让人惊心动魄的一部分了。
Lesley-Ann Brandt has shot to stardom rapidly in New Zealand. Her unusual path to acting has seen her go from IT Recruitment Consultant to landing the lead role in the hit comedy series “Diplomatic Immunity,” starring alongside Craig Parker (of “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” Lord of the Rings and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), quickly moving her into the hearts of the nation.
在IT公司作为招聘顾问到作为全职演员在一部流行喜剧剧集《外交免疫》中担当主演与Craig Parker合作（Craig Parke的作品有《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》，《指环王》，《黑夜传说前传：狼族再起》），扮演她的爱人，我们可以看出她的演艺道路颇为坎坷。在《外交免疫》中的表现也让她广受观众喜爱，在新西兰一夜成名。
Lesley-Ann started her career as a model, booking prestigious national and international campaigns. She very soon drew the attention of Casting Directors who encouraged her to pursue acting. Whilst working full time, Brandt trained with various New Zealand and internationally based acting coaches. She has most recently appeared in guest roles on New Zealand’s series “Shortland Street”, “This Is Not My Life” and her current role as Naevia in the Starz series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” Lesley-Ann has just completed filming her first feature film Hopes and Dreams.
Lesley-Ann从模特儿工作起步，那时她和国内和国际上一些非常有名望的公司签订了演出合同。她的表现立刻吸引了星探们的注意，他们鼓励她参与一些表演。尽管那时Lesley-Ann还干着全职的销售工作，但她也抽空在新西兰和国际上的一些表演研习班学习。过去她在新西兰的电视剧集《短岛街》和《This Is Not My Life》中饰演配角为人们熟知，而现在她在《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》中饰演的Naevia再度家喻户晓。Lesley-Ann参演的处女作故事片《Hopes and Dreams》也已杀青。
She is fluent in Afrikaans, and has in the past played competitive and social hockey. Brandt is primarily based in Auckland New Zealand, but is currently based in Los Angeles.
Brandt过去是名曲棍球运动员，说着一口流利的南非语。最初她住在新西兰的奥克兰，而现在她把重心转移到洛杉矶了。
妮维雅Lucretia’s body slave, never far from her mistress, always ready to attend to any order. Her secret love affair with Crixus is a dangerous betrayal of her mistress, but she is unable to resist the one pleasure her life of enslavement offers.
Naevia作为Lucretia的贴身奴隶，和她形影不离，服从一切Lucretia下达的命令。虽然她与Crixus之间的秘密情事是对她女主人的严重背叛，使她的处境十分危险。不过她根本压抑不住她在奴隶生活中找寻到的那一丝欢愉。但她完全无法抵抗奴隶生活中唯一的这一丝欢愉。
