Trivia / Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire

• Dawson Casting:
  • 37-year-old Michael Sheen plays Nero from the age of 25 to his death at 30.
  • Averted with Cato: while his actor in the HBO series appears, he plays Marcus Marcellus, rather than the much younger Cato, played by the more appropriately middle-aged Crispin Redman.
