Orlando Jones Says He Was Fired From American GodsActor Orlando Jones, who played Mr. Nancy on the Starz and Fremantle series, has received a message of support from Gabrielle Union, who was recently let go from America's Got Talent. Wtf !!! He was the truth. Spoke the truth of good and evil. Nancy was one of, if not THE, most dynamic of the Gods. Not everyone appreciated the character's portrayal but he left an impression, that's for sure. It's going to be hard to see anyone else in the role. Oh wow
