Orlando Jones joins 'American Gods'
And the casting continues for Starz's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's beloved American Gods, with two more names added in the midst of production on the first season of the series.
Orlando Jones joins as Mr. Nancy, or Anasi, while Demore Barnes plays Mr. Ibis, or better known as the Egyptian god Thoth.
The book has received much critical praise in its time since publication in 2001. It won both a Hugo and Nebula award and is considered by some as one of Gaiman's best pieces. It tells the story of a war between the new gods and the old, with the new representing such things as celebrity, money, greed, and drug abuse.
