Interview: Peter Mensah Stands Tall in SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND
Posted on 18 February 2010 by Brent Hartinger, Editor
It hard not to be a little taken by Peter Mensah, the striking 6? 3 1/2? actor who was born in Ghana and raised in Britain and Canada. Not surprisingly, he is frequently cast as someone authoritative, like the military officers he played in The Incredible Hulk and Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles.
Now he’s in perhaps his highest-profile role yet, that of Doctore, the kick-ass, but mysterious trainer at the gladiator school in Spartacus: Blood and Sand.
Last summer, at a press event promoting the series, I ran into Mensah. I hadn’t yet seen any of the finished product, but I couldn’t resist pulling him aside for a few questions.
