Proud Spouse Shenanigans
If you know me, you know I’m immensely proud of the incredible design work Jon Gary Steele does in the film and television industry. From Cruel Intentions, American History X, Burlesque, Outlander, The Sandman series to now God of War, he creates worlds out of once empty fields and stages. I wish I could show you the amazing things he’s building now, but I’d get in a lot of trouble. What I can share is the most recent news about the casting for the series, and in particular, how excited I am that Mandy Patinkin will be playing Odin!
