It would be kind of awesome if god appeared in the form of a smooshy-faced lion... but I'd be perfectly OK if god never actually showed up.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I think I was the one who mentioned having God manifest through varous normal people earlier. Heck, they could forego the normal people and have all the main actors alternate God's lines with those of their own characters, having Him speak through everyone on scene in their turn.

Ooh, I love her! I was lucky enough to work with her twice during my brief theatre career in SF.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
But then the angels have always been identified as men in mythology, so it's not surprising (even if it is a little disappointing) that they've all taken male vessels.
Other than Anna, we've seen one other female angel. Of course she was dead, a victim of the angel/angel violence during the Uriel-led attack on his garrison.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
In many ways, I think a teenager or young adult would be a more interesting choice than a kid, if you're going to go non-traditional.
It would make my little pop-culture heart happy to have him basically be Mr Miyagi.
It would make sense, I think, if he's been "human", to use whatever form he's been in--so it would depend on what they want God to have been doing. Apart from playing Skiball.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
For my own amusement, I'd like God to be an angry Korean woman.
Several years ago, a friend got way too drunk, walked home, and passed out on the sidewalk somewhere between the bar and home. The police found him and took him to an emergency room.
However long later, he woke up to a Korean nurse standing over him and scolding him, "Why did you do this to yourself??"
His first thought was, "God is an angry Korean woman? Huh."

Art Crawl!!!
I love that.
I think that everyone here has had better suggestions than the ones on Scifiwire.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm always in favour of Gina Torres being cast just about anywhere, but Jasmine was too close to all powerful for this to be particularly interesting casting.
