To land the role of god-in-training Shadow Moon in the TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman's "American Gods," English actor Ricky Whittle says he went through war. Best known for his portrayal of Lincoln in "The 100," Whittle now takes on heavier fare, playing a former prisoner who after meeting a mysterious stranger, Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane), is brought on a journey to an unimaginable destiny. Whittle gave IMDb an exclusive peek into one of the most anticipated new shows of the year.
