Orlando Jones opens up about American Gods firing: 'It was a blindside'
According to Jones, Mr. Nancy, Omid Abtahi’s Salim, and Mousa Kraish’s The Jinn were dropped from the season 3 story arc after all three characters were featured in the past two seasons. On Saturday, a spokesperson forhave 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.
In the video, Jones specifically references Eglee without outright naming him. “The new season 3 showrunner is Connecticut born and Yale-educated, so he’s very smart and he thinks that Mr. Nancy’s angry, get sh– done is the wrong message for black America,” he said. “That’s right. This white man sits in that decision-making chair and I’m sure he has many black bffs who are his advisors and made it clear to him that if he did not get rid of that angry god Mr.
“His exact words are, as I recall because no one repeats the same thing that way that many times, ‘Angry gets sh— done is the wrong message for black America.’ And then it was, ‘he writes from a black male perspective,'” Jones adds. “I’ve never experienced sexism, I’m a guy. You’ve never experienced racism, you’re a white guy. How could you possibly write from my perspective or any black person’s perspective? I just don’t get what it means.
