There is some irony surrounding the casting of 3 of the main characters. Spartacus was from Thrace, particularly modern day Bulgaria. Crixus was from Gaul (Modern day France) and Varro was Italian. Raicho Vasilev who portrays Gnaeus, is himself Bulgarian. Crixus' name roughly translates to "Curly Hair." Jai Courtney being the fair-skinned, curly haired actor would have been the "accurate visual" choice for Crixus, but instead portrayed Varro. Manu Bennet (who portrays Crixus) is of Maori descent from New Zealand (Many of which are visually "ambiguous" in terms of ethnic identity) and would have been the ideal "visual choice" to play the Italian Varro.
