Ian McShane Will Lead Starz' American Gods
Ian McShane will take the lead role of Mr. Wednesday in Bryan Fuller's highly anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel American Gods, Starz announced, fittingly, on Wednesday.
The character, in a release, is described as a crafty and endlessly charismatic con man, full of perverse wisdom, curious magic, and grand plans.
When you write a beloved character (beloved with, or despite, or because of all his faults) like Mr. Wednesday, you get to watch the internet trying to cast the role.
