The actor behind one of TV’s most sadistic villains will get to play a “charming,” “good-natured” leprechaun.
Charming.
Good-natured.

These arent words we associate with Ramsay Bolton, the guy who liked to flay people alive as a hobby on HBOsGame of Thrones.
Thats what makes this next character for actor Iwan Rheon, the man who brought that psychopath to life, so delightful.
Rheon is the latest to join the cast ofAmerican Godsseason 3 over at Starz and hell play a charming, good-natured leprechaun named Liam Doyle.
UnlikePablo Schreibers Mad Sweeney, Liam is the kind of leprechaun who once embraced the stereotypical Lucky Charms image but is now on a more dignified path.
That is until he finds himself swept back into our world of gods, luck, and magic, per a web connection description.
For Rheon, who says he was called a bastard by fans for playing one of the most sadistic characters on television, this is a nice change of pace.
With showrunner Charles Eglee steering the ship in season 3,American Godswill also feature the likes ofMarilyn Manson(a Viking rocker),Danny Trejo, andDominique Jackson(different forms of Crispin Glovers Mr. World), Julia Sweeney (Lakeside resident Ann-Marie Hinzelmann), Blythe Danner (Ancient Greek goddess of the harvest Demeter), Herizen Guardiola (Yoruban goddess of love and fertility Oshun), Ashley Reyes (Mr. Wednesdays techie Cordelia), Eric Johnson (Lakesides Chief of Police Chad Mulligan), and Wale (an Orisha named Chango).
In season 3, which still doesnt have a known premiere date, Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) strikes out on his own and attempts to set down roots in the town of Lakeside, Wisconsin, a notable location from Neil Gaimans book.
