Viva Bianca

For those of you not familiar with the Starz Spartacus Series, you are in for an excellent treat with the lovely Viva Bianca. Not only is she beautiful to look at, but she has the acting chops as well. On Spartacus, she played the wicked Ilithyia, and did it to perfection, exposing multiple layers of a character that could have easily been one dimensional in the hands of someone else. I would go so far to say, that after the death of Spartacus Star, Andy Whitfield, it was Viva's portrayal of Ilithyia that CARRIED the 3rd installment of the series: Spartacus Vengeance. Speaking of Vengeance, if you don't have access to Starz, then check her out in a great 2011 movie, X: Night of Vengeance. Hopefully, this great young actress gets more feature roles on US Shows in the near future.

Agreed! To be honest, Vengeance would not have been nearly as compelling had the Ilithyia/Lucretia storyline and Gannicus not been in there. I got to Skype with her when I donated to her movie and she was not only gorgeous but very humble and down to earth. It was worth every penny and more.

What a talented woman and I really hope her career takes off.

She was great in 'Spartacus' and 'X.' I will watch this for her!

First U.S. project where it's in the U.S. a little surprised she hasn't got more by this time.

when you say

exposing multiple layers of a character that could have easily been one dimensional in the hands of someone else

you mean Viva exposing herself in all glory, right?

My partner use to live and be good friends with her back when they were studying acting in western australia. So exciting to see she is starting to get work in America. Proud of her!
