Amber Heard has Competition

I've been saying how much I thought Amber Heard was the perfect  choice to play the part of the beautiful blond police detective in my debut novel, Killer of Killers. Samantha Jones falls in love with Trent Smith, and together they form the basis for the love story that is the subplot in that story.

But as a fan of Spartacus, that Starz miniseries that is in its third season right now, not only have I found a great actor, Dustin Clare, who could play the main character, Trent Smith, but there's another pretty good looking blond actress in there. No, not the Roman wife of Glabor, the main antagonist of Spartacus, nor that other Roman lady, introduced just this week, the wife of the Roman General Crassus. It's the rebel slave girl who is fighting with Spartacus and Gannicus, (Dustin Clare) and I must say, she could very well be a viable candidate for the part of Samantha Jones, too.

The only problem is I can't figure out who she is. I can't determine which name is hers in the credits, and when I go to the Spartacus websites, her part is so small in that show, I can't find out who the actress is who plays her.

But she is a very beautiful blond woman, and she has the hots for Gannicus, too, which would be a great side story if the two were ever cast together for the roles in Killer of Killers. Even so, Amber Heard would have the greater drawing power, as she is already a well known actress, and the other blond lady can't even get her name noticed on the credits to Spartacus.

So Amber Heard is my first choice still, but there's another one out there. Nothing wrong with that!
