Over the weekend actor Orlando Jones accused the new showrunner for American Gods on Starz of getting rid of his character, Mr. Nancy, because he was a strong and outspoken role model for Black people [click here if you missed that].
American Gods' producers deny the claims...
Freemantle Media tells Deadline
“The storylines of American Gods have continually shifted and evolved to reflect the complex mythology of the source material.”
“Mr. Jones’ option was not picked up because Mr. Nancy, among other characters, is not featured in the portion of the book we are focusing on within Season 3.”
