?If you don?t learn from the past, you?re condemned to repeat it again,? Ricky Whittle, the star of the upcoming Starz series American Gods, tells ET. While the sentiment could easily apply to his onscreen character, Shadow, who after an unexpected early release from prison is recruited by Mr. Wednesday to be the mysterious man?s bodyguard as he travels across the U.S., the English actor is actually referring to his time on The CW series The 100, which saw his character, Lincoln, killed off after two seasons in a controversial exit from the show. Fed up with where the character was going and the dynamic on set, Whittle asked to be let go. ?I took myself out of a negative situation,? Whittle tells ET. ?I think it was important. I stood up for myself and others. It's something to feel proud of, and it's something I'd do time and time and time again.?
?I often joke that Lincoln died and became an American god,? Whittle says, perhaps in more ways than one.
