His character was a major highlight of that show, he and vorenus had some of the best screen chemistry i've even seen

[@F-bot]

they had to cancel it right as they were getting to jesus

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

It was canceled because it was too expensive to produce, hence why the second half of S2 rushed through history to get to the end of the civil war. The plans to get to Jesus would have been something like S5

[@nothet]

@@F-bot the show ends in 30 BCE??

[@rebeccagray2443]

Amazing talent. He made the series…Rome.

[@leeflorence3838]

Couldnt be more expensive than GOT tho right? I think it was more return on investment was the real issue. Amazing show tho, no doubt, and Ray is a god among men @@Duke_of_Lorraine

[@99IronDuke]

Rome remains one of the best TV series ever made. RIP Ray Stevenson.

[@jtgd]

Took me a while to realize it wasn’t someone else, but him. I wasn’t really paying attention and thought it was another Ray. RIP Ray Stevenson, and thank you for being a great actor who pulled my interest even deeper into history. You will be missed by your loved ones and admirers of your work

[@hi._.golgo137]

Damn same RIP

[@leeflorence3838]

Yea, I don't watch a lot of news, or even current events beyond HUGE stuff. So I had no idea he had even passed till Ashoka had this "For Ray" at the end and I was like...The fuck you mean FOR RAY??? You don't mean Stevenson do you???Hell no....{goes to internet search}......MOTHERFUCKER!!!! HOW WHY WHAT? UNKNOWN!?!?! WHAT?" Yea, it was a shcok. He's always been a favorite. RIP man.

[@rickyhuynh4641]

First Ray Liotta, now Ray Stevenson. Both Rays have shine to heaven.

[@septimiusseverus343]

_Titus Pullo was a legionary of the XIII. And it was the XIII that was among those who first hailed me Imperator and became my personal legion. The name and deeds of Legionary Pullo were remembered and honoured by the XIII down to my own time. Ray Stevenson portrayed this great man brilliantly before an audience. Requiescat in Pace!_

[@AJ-yl5lt]

Good actor, Ive been a big Star Wars fan all my life but seeing Ray in the Ahsoka series alone makes me almost want to get Disney plus back, I said "almost". Rest in peace good sir.

[@bernicia-sc2iw]

Can't believe he is the first of the Rome cast to go. He will forever be Pullo to me - an unforgettable role.

[@HeliodromusScorpio]

Heartbreaking, may he rest in eternal peace.

[@rodrigovillamonte]

Stevenson was truly a great man on and off the screen in that there was none other who could replicate his uniqueness, and to that I believe we lost a good man far too early. He truly inspired all of us through his many roles he would go on to play, iconically as his amazing performance as Titus Pullo. Certainly a larger than life individual. Rest in peace Ray Stevenson.

[@TheLordRichard]

“When 50 brave men of the XIII, fought Pompey’s thousand in the forum & saved the tribune.. It was legionarie Titus Pullo who drew first blood”

[@YeS1711]

Loved his performance of Titus Pullo. Thirteenth always!

[@TetsuShima]

I like to think Ray Stevenson's character in the Late Roman movie "King Arthur" was a direct descendant of Pullo. Both characters had a very similar badass personality, to be honest

[@Furretjesus]

May our favorite legionaire rest in peace.

[@malibugaming3232]

RIP Ray you will be missed.

[@sloshed-rat]

One of the best Punishers we ever got.

[@leeflorence3838]

Right on. He was super intimidating in the role. Scary bastard lol Gonna miss em.

[@ThePandoraGuy]

@@leeflorence3838 The man had a heart of gold and the presence of a rabies infected jackhammer.

[@steffanyschwartz7801]

Rest in peace legend.

[@kathbirtwistle8486]

Still heartbroken 💔, this one hurts alot ❤😢

[@wallabeearby3373]

Say it aint so... I still watch Rome over at least once a year. Definitely one of my favourite actors/roles in the world.

[@DuxLindy]

no way, i had no idea. man, if there was ever an actor i've never heard of before that made a show that much better for me, it was him as Titus in Rome.

[@torikeqi8710]

Rip Ray... May God and Christ almighty be with you. Condolences to your family and close friends first of all. Condolences to all admirers of the art of cinematography and admirers of Roman history. You will always be rembered.

[@makingastardestroyer3066]

I rarely think that a death is a tragedy because it is the inevitable end of the road for all of us. But in this case, maybe truly too soon.

[@matthewhall1467]

I literally started Rome yesterday! Im barely through Ep 3 so this is very saddening. RIP, very much enjoyed his character so far.

[@MaxwellAerialPhotography]

I know we all love Ray in Rome, and because of that I would very seriously recommend that you all watch Black Sails. His performance as Edward "Blackbeard" Teach, in season 3 & 4 of that show equal if not surpass his portrayal of Titus Pullo. His performance and Black Sails in general is something I can never speak highly enough of, and it's something that I think will be well worth all of your time. Requiescat In Pace Ray Steveson. Good sailing Captain. Vale Legionary.

[@DiegoNogue]

I´m sorry to hear such sad news. Titus Pullo was a character so well portrayed that became part of our lives. Farewell Mr. Stevenson, you will be fondly remembered.

[@LordHaveMercyOnUs247]

One of a handful of actors who I really loved to watch on and off the screen. Such great talent and a genuine person that resonated human emotions I identified with. He will be sorely missed.

[@billbob1818]

Rest in peace Ray, you'll always be remembered as the legendary Titus Pullo. Thirteen!

"I dare say, your work today will earn you immortality." - David Bamber.

[@leeflorence3838]

Great Cicero quote.

[@MegaTang1234]

May he rest in peace and his legacy live on in the works he acted in.

[@davidwheeler7895]

RIP Ray Stevenson you will be missed.

[@jacavanheesch4593]

i loved him as pullo such a handsome and lovable dude. taking him at 60 is a BS move of death. love the berserk theme in the background

[@NYCfrankie]

Rome is still an AMAZING show and Ray was amazing rip

[@josephjude1290]

Eternal memory

[@TetsuShima]

Even though Thomas Jane will be always the best Punisher, it's undeniable that Stevenson offered us a pretty cool portrayal of the anti-hero in the War Zone film. That flick is actually pretty underrated

[@aBadPlayer]

Terrible loss. Great actor. AVE PULLO!

[@t.wcharles2171]

Taken too soon but always remembered RIP Ray Stevenson

[@rebeccagray2443]

A fantastic presence is gone 😢

[@kotiki90]

Я впервые увидела Рэя Стивенсона в фильме RRR, мне он очень понравился. В сериале Рим такой красавчик. Очень скучаю по нему, нет ни одного дня, что не вспоминала о нём😢

[@tequilamockingbird758]

Too soon. I enjoyed damn near everything he's done.

[@Theresawinner]

Ray Stevenson was one of my favorite actors Very sad to hear of his untimely passing Ray had a real screen presence, When Ray was on camera my eyes went to him, He was fabulous in all of his roles my two favorites was Rome and The Punisher both characters are warriors and fight for causes they believed in and both could show great heart. Like the character he played in the Punisher he was angry and was out for revenge for his lost family but showed caring for the little girl you will be missed BRAV RAY S. BRAVO R.I.P.

[@alexiossauromates7017]

Bought yesterday the blueray-box of Rome remembering him.

[@svenhaheim]

RIP will be missed one of those rare people with tons of onscreen personality, his Part in Rome still my favorite and glad to hear it was his as well.

[@nebeskisrb7765]

My favorite character in Rome. :(

[@ДенисКузин-з2я]

Such a young age, such a great actor. The Rome made you immortal. Thank you, sir. There are no words to say how it is sad(((

[@hayleyhistorynerd2211]

It was always a pleasure to see him in a film or TV show. He is truly one of my favorite actors. I feel every feature he was a part of was better for it. Rome is one of my all time favorite stories, it's been a huge inspiration to me and Pullo and Vorenus were absolutely instrumental to my love of that series. I'm gutted to hear of his untimely passing, but I'm so happy he was in the all the shows and films he was in. My deepest condolences to his family they must be having such a hard time. Thank-you so much for making this lovely tribute Romaboo. Hayley ^_^

[@MCOult]

Gone too soon. Rest well, soldier.

[@GarfieldRex]

A great actor, a huge role in most of this community's love for what is Roman, and a bright man whose talent will never be forgotten. Descanse en el Señor.

[@TheSquad4life]

he was awesome a titus pullo alongside the other actor he shared great deal of screen time with. Truly rest in oeace and hope his loved ones can find some joy in time.

[@michaelschmidt1101]

13 teen, Theeer Teennn, Thirrrrrr Teeennnn! We are here. The like of these two (Pullo and Verenus) in sword and sandal will rarely be seen again.

[@zivgann1808]

Rest in peace brother

[@дахкил]

The gambling scene with the pompeyans was my favourite.

[@egillskallagrimson5879]

the sheer joy and craziness in his eyes while dropping the candler and setting the place in fire xDDD

[@thestick52]

What a blow, really. Gone too soon… Rest in peace, Ray Stevenson.

[@manuelnovelo]

Tito Pulo, de lo mejor!!

[@notbadsince97]

One of my favorite Dexter villains

[@bernardkelly6731]

So sad to hear of Ray’s passing, he was fantastic in Rome,, RIP

[@p03saucez]

I'm genuinely bummed over this Ray's passing. Amazing actor and presence on screen. I've held onto futile hope for a long time that we'd get an epilogue film or short series properly wrapping up Rome. It just wouldn't be doable without Titus Pullo. RIP Ray Stevenson.

[@susankent6051]

A great actor and such a beautiful man! Thank you for everything! Rest in peace Ray❤😢🙏🌹

[@LajoieNYC]

Rest in Peace, Ray Stevenson.

Blessings Ray Stevenson, family and friends.

[@amirmichaelroyer]

Certainly taken from us too soon, may he rest in peace. His legacy from Rome will certainly carry him through the generations.

[@Themandalorian935]

He was brilliant in every role he has ever done. The highlight of the ahsoka series. Rest in peace ray 💔

[@StanvilleBrown]

Great actor and a Good man gone too soon! 😔

[@felixmison9118]

RIP Ray Stevenson, I won't forget you!! I just learned the news today a year later. Sad day for me now. Loved your role in the Book of Eli and the many other great movies you were in!!!

[@tricivenola8164]

Oh no!! I just rewatched Rome a month ago...somehow I missed his passing. DAMN!! His character was so vivid... while drawing in Byzantine ruins years after Rome was over, I could imagine him with Kevin McKidd, wondering at this monument to a religion that didn't even exist in their time, marveling at the shapes of the bricks. Never was an actor more alive. I'm so sorry he's gone.

[@AmirKhan-xu2bu]

He was a Phenomenal actor and person, his legacy lives on. RIP Ray Stevenson. You will be missed.

[@seronymus]

May Ray rest in paradise with all the Roman saints. ☦️🙏 Even with actor saints like Porphyrios the Mimic/Clown. Thank you

[@yochaiwyss3843]

Now he is back in the great formation in the skies

[@michaelbarclay4803]

Great actor he will be missed

[@Adino1]

Not going to lie, I shed some manly tears when I heard he had passed.

[@jasonspreyer6009]

God rest his soul

[@SD-Casual]

RIP Ray , you will always be :Titus Pullo the man who never dies.Im gutted he went so fast.

[@MrHazz111]

To the Thirteenth!

[@johnwaters7212]

Perfect selection of a track to honor him for he was the kind of actor who loved action and adventure. RIP Ray Stevenson I will miss you! 😢

[@vita_brevis-ars_longa]

Харизматичный актёр, жаль видела только в фильме Рим. Только узнала что его не стало! Жаль, светлая память. Посмотрю ещё другие фильмы с его участием.

[@RaffieFaffie]

Breaking formation in the fields of Elysium now. God Rome was so good with so many different good actors in it. If only it didn't get cancelled and we got to see the entire Julio-Claudian dynasty or even more. Shame on the company of HBO for such barbarity, shame.

[@JjackVideo]

RIP Pullo. "Safe and effective" my a-word

[@thursday1679]

RIP Ray .......Thirteen !

[@josephhellstern949]

I just can't believe he's dead he seemed so vital And he was younger than I am. Thank you Ray for all the great work you did you were gone too soon

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

I haven’t seen two thirds of these excerpts but what I have seen were excellent, thank God his work will live on.

[@Erocksoco]

For any other fantasy readers familiar with Joe Abercrombie's First Law series, Ray is Logen Ninefingers in my head, he would have been perfect in a live action adaption. Really talented guy, he will be missed.

[@elizabethrobb8620]

I have the rome box set. This man was magnificent in it. ❤. So so sad so so young 💔

[@Mila-wc4yb]

Que triste que se nos fue un gran actor, joven y bello, descanses en paz Ray Stevenson, te vamos a extrañar mucho.😭😔💔

[@artisaprimus6306]

I was shocked and saddened when I heard of Ray's passing. He was such a physical presence in every movie he appeared in. RIP, Ray

[@tobi9079]

I watch rome tv series so many times once every 3-4 months, I'll never see titus pullo as I use to.😢. Rip

[@johnferrari3821]

Thanks ray! That’s all that needs to be said.

[@alexc8209]

He was perfect in Rome.

[@YTuseraL2694]

I still can't believe it 😞...

[@francinesiddaway7191]

OMG this Man was Soooooooo Beautiful 😍🥰❤️ He was Cool as Blackbeard in Black Sails Aaaarrrrgggghhhh 🏴‍☠️ My Heart Broke when I heard he passed away 💔😭

[@RDuran-kv2sw]

I was sad to hear of his passing. Such a great actor and what a loss for the acting world. May he rest in peace.

[@scottmcintyre5543]

He will be sorely missed. A tragic loss to all of us who have followed his career and loved his work. RIP Ray Stevenson.

[@veloway]

I can not think of a story,in any medium, with a character I enjoy more than Pullo. Phillip K. Dick’s entire career revolved around a single theme; “what does it mean to be human?”. Pullo is the answer.

[@ghufran1979]

The news of your passing is still a pain in the hearts of all your fans ... Rest in peace Ray😓

[@antdaking]

Absolutely A Phenomenal Actor .. loved him Rome…

[@TheModernHermeticist]

rip

[@bushrglobalists8742]

Great actor this guy. So good I did not recognize him as Pullo in most other stuff. Well Done. RIP
