NEW YORK, Jan. 8 (UPI) British actor Bruce Langley said the modern deity Technical Boy, whom he plays on
American Gods, personifies people s real-life, love-hate relationship with technology and those who advance it. He is so conceited. He s such a wanker. I understand, yeah, sure, fine, but it would be difficult to name any other force on the planet that has positively affected the lives of more people in a more substantial way than technology, Langley told UPI in a recent phone interview.
Interview: Yetide Badaki and Bruce Langley Talk American Gods Season 3 (Exclusive)
By Actor Bruce Langley discussed the third season of Starz’s fantasy drama television series, ‘American Gods.’
Sometimes the seemingly most mystical television shows end up becoming the most timely and relatable to their audiences. That’s certainly the chase for the critically acclaimed series, ‘American Gods,’ whose upcoming third season engages its viewers in large part through its characters and their identifiable journeys. From the versatile protagonist, Shadow Moon, to the title Gods, including Bilquis and Technical Boy, the diverse characters must decide who they are in an ever-changing world, and become more comfortable with themselves in their new situations.
American Gods Season 3 (TV Review)

Review:
American Gods has had a rocky few years. While it has developed quite the cult fanbase, the Starz series is now on its third showrunner in as many seasons. Brought to screen by Bryan Fuller, hands have changed each year with the change for season three being announced before the second even hit the airwaves. While using a 500-page novel as the source for multiple seasons of a television series would pose a challenge to anyone, it is not for
American Gods. Neil Gaiman s book was packed with characters who have tales easily expanded for the small screen. This means that for season three, we say goodbye to some favorites and hello to new characters as we continue to chronicle the quest of Mr. Wednesday and Shadow Moon.

“American Gods” is now entering season three with an epic bang which is befitting for the Gods. Here, war is inevitable and the flames of resentment are flamed by the outright blood-lust that exists between the Old Gods of mythology and the new Gods of technology.
Ex-con Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) is coerced into the service of the puckish Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) who is, in reality, the Norse All-Father god Odin, and Moon’s father making Shadow a demi-god.
Naturally, Shadow’s reaction to being half-divine is complicated and he runs from his apparent destiny, choosing to lay low in the picturesque, snowy town of Lakeside, Wisconsin, determined to forge his own path. But in fact, he later discovers that he’s being guided by his powerful African ancestors, the Orishas.
