Spartacus: War of the Damned star Liam McIntyre trade his swords for some sharp suits for his Da Man magazine feature.
Here is what the 31-year-old had to share with Da Man.
On his workout regimen for the show
I made a promise to myself and with my trainer on the show, Tyrone Bell, that we were going to train every week, without fail. In Vengeance [the show’s second season] that meant five times a week, plus cycling in the mornings. War of the Damned had an even more difficult schedule, so it was 3–4 times a week, after filming, as hard as we could go, plus cycling in the morning. It wasn’t easy, but when you make that promise and commitment, you have to do it. I’m glad I did. I’m definitely trying to keep it up – we worked too hard to get it to let it go now!
On his plans for the hiatus
Well we just moved countries, so [Erin Hasan, his fiance] and I are now in LA, making a new start, and seeing what America has in store for us! It’s very exciting. I’m back to auditioning, which is a totally different world this time around, it’s a blast to be given so many different people to be. But I do feel a little schizophrenic at times. And I’m finally getting some time to write a show that I’ve been developing for a little while, so I’m excited to see where that goes.
