ILIYTHIA
The spoiled, selfish daughter of Senator Albinius, she is also the wife of Legatus Claudius Glaber. Young and impressionable, she finds herself alone and bored in Capua. Seeing potential advancement for herself and Batiatus, Lucretia takes Ilithyia under her wing, determined to introduce her to all the sensual pleasures of the ludus.
Viva Bianca plays the young Roman noblewoman Ilithyia, in “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” a Starz original action-adventure drama series, set in the brutal Roman gladiator era. Ilithyia engages in a subtle power struggle with Lucretia (Lucy Lawless), whilst admiring the attributes of the gladiators, particularly Spartacus.
Bianca says Ilithyia was “born and bred to enjoy incredibly elite taste, and is extremely ambitious in terms of maintaining her status and public image.”
Since graduating from Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts with the best actress award, Bianca has established a career that moves between film, television and theater.
She recently starred in the lead role of Ophelia in the psychological thriller Bad Bush, directed by Sam Genocchio which is now in release in Australia and played Becky in Accidents Happen, a comedy starring Geena Davis and directed by Andrew Lancaster. She has had guest leads on Australian television series including “All Saints,” “Blue Heelers,” “Marshall Law” and “The Strip.” Her theater experience includes “Twelfth Night,” “Dancing at Loughnasa,” “Queen C” and “This is A Play”.
Now Sydney-based, she grew up in Melbourne, the daughter of film composer Cezary Skubiszewski, whose scores include director Gillian Armstrong’s upcoming Death Defying Acts, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Guy Pearce.
