Dominic Purcell has reportedly been linked to the lead role in Spartacus: Blood And Sand.
Andy Whitfield was the show's original star but was forced to pull out of the second season so that he could be treated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The president of the show's network Starz recently confirmed that Spartacus is recasting the lead and The Pacific's Liam McIntyre was thought to be the frontrunner.
However, Deadline claims that former Prison Break star Dominic Purcell filmed a screen test while on holiday in Australia and emailed it to Starz executives last week.
Purcell's physique is thought to be a positive factor following rumours that McIntyre was considered too thin for the role. He is now said to be training in an attempt to bulk up.
Other stars who have been linked to the role include Aiden Turner, Stephen Amell and Purcell's former co-star Wentworth Miller.
