I always saw Genecarlo Esposito in the role. I still like the casting so far on this show (it's not perfect of course), the one one I am not feeling at all is McShane as Wednesday to be honest.
As for Czernablog I always pictured the guy who played Boris the Blade. -

Two reasons: To keep the surprise about them both being Loki(who in myth is a shapeshifter, so it makes sense) from people unfamiliar with the book, and two, because when you get the chance to cast Crispin Glover, you jump at it.

I was hoping for Sidney Poitier, but the show is obviously going for a different tone altogether than the book (hence the Johnny Cash-esque look of Wednesday instead of a grizzled whitebeard), so I'm willing to go with it. This guy's a really good actor, and that's the most important thing.

Reg E. Cathey is exactly how I pictured Anansi while reading the novel. I really wished they would cast him but it seems like young faces are a trend among the cast and probably for a good reason. I would have never pictured Mr Ibis and Mr Jacquel to be this young.

I had to look him up, I'm not familiar with the name. Yes, I could see that working very well.
