'Lost' Alum Jeremy Davies Joins 'American Gods' as Jesus
EW is reporting that Jeremy Davies has been cast as Jesus in Starz American Gods, an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's award-winning novel.
Jesus' story arc will presumably align with Easter's. “Resurrected on Ostara’s feast day, Jesus has always been generous in sharing the Easter holiday with the ancient goddess. But the overly empathetic Son of God would be crushed to know that Ostara harbors some deeply buried resentment over the issue.”'
While Jesus is mentioned in the book, he never appears. It seems that this will be one liberty the series will be taking.
