Gillian Anderson Stuns as David Bowie in 'American Gods'
American Gods."
In the cutting-edge Starz series (based on the book by Neil Gaiman), Anderson plays Media, the mouthpiece and P.R. rep of the New Gods, who appears as different pop culture icons. We've already seen her as Lucille Ball and she previewed her turn as Marilyn Monroe in a pic shared to Twitter.
In this Sunday's episode, "Lemon Scented You," Media takes New God Technical Boy (Bruce Langley) to task over his assault on Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle). Media (also managing to sound uncannily like Bowie) addresses her fellow God as "Aye, pretty thing, you," and tells him he has "an image problem" and orders him to apologize to Moon and Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane).
