Alex Zane asked them all some questions, and the answers he got were pretty interesting.

Here are thirteen things we learned from the chitchat…. Every single one of those Coming to America stories is unbelievable, Browning teased.

One of them is animated.

We look forward to seeing how that works!

Theyve fleshed out characters, theyve added so much storyline […] theres so much more.

The season finale is not in the book.

But in episode 4 of this season we actually go back to meet Laura before she meets Shadow.

And we get to learn about her, to know her story.

He wanted to make the female roles more interesting.

Im huge sci-fi, fantasy geek, says Yeitde Badaki, who plays love goddess Bilquis in the show.

So, I actually think when Neil first met me he thought I was real weirdo.

All I could do was shake his hand and then scurry away.

Ive been a fan of Neil Gaimans for a while, Badaki explained.

The book came out in 2001 and I remember reading that story, and having this reaction of yeahhhh!

And not quite being able to place what that was.

Ive just felt this really strong reaction to it.

I was excited by that.

And it really called to me.

I cant hear that again.

And they said to me, no no no, if anything, youre more like the spleen.

Fantastic, Im in.

Browning then read the first scripts and fell in love with the character of Laura Moon.

Shes very difficult, shes not automatically likeable.

Shes very crass and abrasive, she explained.

Ive never read a character like this, so it was kind of an easy sell.

Just like a spleen…

In terms of what he represents, hes one of the younger gods.

And the whole point is were worshipping him without realising it, Mr Langley added.

Before being cast in an important role in a huge TV show, Bruce Langleys life was very different.

I was doing kids parties at weekends, he revealed.

It started with a search, asking fans on social media, who do you want to play Shadow?

Okay, Ill have a look.

Okay, great, I like the character.

Oh, this sounds crazy.

So I reached out to my rep, my agent.

He spoke to casting and they said, yeah, wed love to see him.

Whittle ended filming sixteen tapes as part of an audition process that lasted five months.

It was likeAmerican Idol, I felt like I was inX-Factor, he recalled.

An what would Ian McShane do if he was a god for a day?

Banish Manchester City from the Premier League.

The mighty McShane got talking abut his showrunners at one point, and how their writing styles differ.

Michael Green is kind of oblique while Bryan Fuller is more fluid.

McShane says you’ve got the option to always tell the difference when youre reading their work.

McShane also hastened to add that Fuller and Green make a great match.

Jacks crocodile bar wasnt right.

And theyre perfectionists, Bryan and Michael, and we went back and did it again.

But it paid off here.

Ricky sent Pablo to hospital, was a sentence I wasnt expecting to hear at this Q&A.

But hear it I did.

So… in that fight… theres several head-butts, Whittle explained.

Whittle continued describing the incident: Literally, he came up, and his head was pouring with blood.

He had burst his forehead wide open.

Okay, I havent readAmerican Gods, so I have no idea what this next paragraph means.

Brownings favourite is the Essie segment.

Langley loves the Coming to America stories.

Badaki is fan of The house on the rock.

Whittle cites all the lakeside stuff as a personal highlight.

McShane is admant that his favourite part hasnt been written yet.

Another journalist asked Whittle about his transition from soap star onHollyoaksto the lead inAmerican Gods.

He didnt take it very well.

Natalie Emmanuel,Game Of Thronesand theFast[And Furious] films.

Barry Sloane just did one of my favourite shows this year, Six.

Theres all these incredible actors that came fromHollyoaks, and Im very proud I had that education.

The show was pretty much intense, He added.

Alex Zane said it sounded like anAmerican Godsepisode.

I dont see the comparison myself, but we all had a good old laugh.

American Godsarrives on Starz, in the USA, on Sunday April 30th.

Here in the UK, episode 1 will arrive on Amazon Prime on Monday May 1st.
