How exciting is it for you to be a part of the new season of American Gods! We love the show. Tell us about your role as Sam Black Crow. Do you relate to your character?
I recognize how rarely audiences have seen a character like Sam on screen, so I don't take playing her lightly. I have been such a fangirl of Neil Gaiman's novel, American Gods, for years, and I completely connected with Sam Black Crow. As an actual sarcastic, queer Indigenous woman, I thoroughly related to Sam's experiences and hounded my agent to make sure I auditioned for her. Sam Black Crow is such a fun, meddlesome character whose beliefs are complex. While she's sarcastic and opinionated, she's also deeply curious about life, and about Shadow, who she is introduced to and encounters in this upcoming season!
