The cast includes Ricky Whittle (The 100, Austenland) as Shadow Moon, Ian McShane (Deadwood, Ray Donovan) as Mr. Wednesday, Emily Browning (Sucker Punch, Legend) as Laura Moon, Pablo Schreiber (Orange is the New Black, The Brink) as Mad Sweeney, Orlando Jones (Madiba, Sleepy Hallow) as Mr. Nancy, Yetide Badaki (Aquarius, Masters of Sex) as Bilquis, Bruce Langley (Deadly Waters) as Technical Boy, Crispin Glover (Back to the Future) as Mr. World, Cloris Leachman (Malcom in The Middle, Raising Hope) as Zorya Vechernyaya, Peter Stormare (Fargo, Prison Break) as Czernobog, Mousa Kraish (Superbad, Fast & Furious) as The Jinn, Omid Abtahi (Argo) as Salim, Chris Obi (Snow White and the Huntsman, The Counselor) as Anubis, and Demore Barnes (Waco, 12 Monkeys) as Mr. Ibis. American Gods is produced by FremantleMedia North America. Jesse Alexander (Hannibal, Heroes) will serve as showrunner and executive producer this season. FMNA's Stefanie Berk is executive producing the series along with Neil Gaiman, Ian McShane, Craig Cegielski and Scott Hornbacher. Chris Byrne (Star Trek Discovery, Hannibal) is directing the premiere episode and will co-executive produce along with Heather Bellson and Rodney Barnes. Lisa Kussner will produce.

Ahead of the trailer's debut, the American Gods' social channels hosted an event in which, much like when Game of Thrones' fans watched a block of ice melt, fans guessed when the car from the novel's Lakeside Clunker Raffle would fall through the ice. Once it did, the official season-three trailer was revealed. Starz will air a marathon of seasons one and two over the weekend of January 9 and 10, leading up to the premiere at 8 p.m. ET/PT that evening. The show will premiere internationally on Amazon Prime Video on Monday, Jan. 11. American Gods is the story of the war that is building between mythology's Old Gods, brought to America by immigration, and technology's New Gods. The story is told through the perspective of ex-con Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), who is recruited by the mysterious Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) to serve as a sort of body man. Shadow Moon soon learns that Mr. Wednesday has a lot of secrets, the biggest of which is that he is actually the Norse All-Father God Odin. Character poster of Shadow Moon for Starz' 'American Gods' season 3 The series also stars Emily Browning as Laura Moon, Yetide Badaki as Bilquis, Bruce Langley as Technical Boy, Omid Abtahi as Salim, Ashley Reys as Cordelia, Crispin Glover and Mr. World, Demore Barnes as Mr.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • American Gods, Myths, and Roadside Attractions
    EN 3553.01 Major Authors Spring 2018 MWF 10:00-10:50 Mr. Price American Gods and American Roadside Attractions In the popular novel American Gods, Neil Gaiman offers the premise that we “create the gods.” He takes the notion from psychologist Carl Gustav Jung that by imagining gods, by bringing them into our culture, we fully create them. They take on an existence beyond that of our imagination. They become real. As a writer of fantasy, Gaiman can make that “becoming real” quite literal, as in the novel his gods wander through the American landscape. For us – and therefore as a literary metaphor – they become “real” in another sense. There are the gods we worship, such as the Odin brought to American shores by Leif Erickson and his contemporaries. There are things we worship, such as the television set that has been the altar and shrine of American households. There is the automobile and the highway. For this class I want to begin with Gaiman’s depiction of “the gods,” looking a bit at the novel’s central plot, but particularly at his incorporation of “forgotten gods,” figures of folklore, and such elements as flavor American culture. I plan to also look at a couple example American myths, big ones. I am including a couple pieces on the “frontier” and “melting pot” myths: Willa Cather’s My Antonia and a John Ford film, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.” For America’s favorite twentieth century myth, “the business of America is business” (quote attributed to Calvin Coolidge), we will look at Sinclair Lewis’s Babbitt.

  • Recovery from Disorders of Consciousness: Mechanisms, Prognosis and Emerging Therapies
    REVIEWS Recovery from disorders of consciousness: mechanisms, prognosis and emerging therapies Brian L. Edlow 1,2, Jan Claassen3, Nicholas D. Schiff4 and David M. Greer 5 ✉ Abstract | Substantial progress has been made over the past two decades in detecting, predicting and promoting recovery of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) caused by severe brain injuries. Advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques have revealed new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying recovery of consciousness and have enabled the identification of preserved brain networks in patients who seem unresponsive, thus raising hope for more accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Emerging evidence suggests that covert consciousness, or cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), is present in up to 15–20% of patients with DoC and that detection of CMD in the intensive care unit can predict functional recovery at 1 year post injury. Although fundamental questions remain about which patients with DoC have the potential for recovery, novel pharmacological and electrophysiological therapies have shown the potential to reactivate injured neural networks and promote re-emergence of consciousness. In this Review, we focus on mechanisms of recovery from DoC in the acute and subacute-to-chronic stages, and we discuss recent progress in detecting and predicting recovery of consciousness. We also describe the developments in pharmacological and electro- physiological therapies that are creating new opportunities to improve the lives of patients with DoC. Disorders of consciousness (DoC) are characterized In this Review, we discuss mechanisms of recovery by alterations in arousal and/or awareness, and com- from DoC and prognostication of outcome, as well as 1Center for Neurotechnology mon causes of DoC include cardiac arrest, traumatic emerging treatments for patients along the entire tempo- and Neurorecovery, brain injury (TBI), intracerebral haemorrhage and ral continuum of DoC.

  • CAST BIOGRAPHIES Season 2 RICKY WHITTLE
    CAST BIOGRAPHIES Season 2 RICKY WHITTLE (SHADOW MOON) Ricky Whittle was born in Oldham, near Manchester in the north of England. Growing up, Whittle excelled in various sports representing his country at youth level in football, rugby, American football and athletics. After being scouted by both Arsenal and Celtic Football Clubs, injuries forced him to pursue a law degree at Southampton University. It was here he began modeling, becoming the face of a Reebok campaign in 2000. Whittle left university to pursue an acting career and soon joined several action-packed seasons as bad boy Ryan Naysmith in Sky One’s “Dream Team.” Following that, Whittle quickly joined the U.K.’s hugely popular long-running drama, “Hollyoaks,” in which he played rookie cop Calvin Valentine to acclaim across 400+ episodes. In 2010, Whittle made the decision to relocate to California and, within months of settling in, booked the role of Captain George East in the romantic-comedy feature Austenland for Sony Pictures, which was produced by Twilight creator Stephanie Meyer. Additionally, he was soon cast in a major recurring role in VH1’s popular series, “Single Ladies.” Another major recurring role followed on The CW’s popular post-apocalyptic sci-fi series “The 100.” Whittle’s character, Lincoln, immediately became a fan-favorite character, so he was upped to a series regular. Simultaneously, Whittle also had a recurring arc as Daniel Zamora in ABC’s “Mistresses.” In 2016, after a vigorous casting process, Whittle won the coveted role of Shadow Moon in Starz’s “American Gods.” In 2017, Whittle was seen opposite Sanaa Lathan in the Netflix feature film Nappily Ever After, which is based on the novel of the same name by Trisha R.
