From the twisted, creative mind of Kurt Sutter (a staff writer and eventual executive producer on the critically acclaimed The Shield), Sons of Anarchy follows the love lives, the sexual appetites, the lethal rivalries and illegal activities of an international outlaw biker gang that rules the tiny town of Charming, California.
Ron Perlman plays the hot-tempered Clay, the club president of this branch of SOA, head of their gun-running business “Sam Crow,” and stepfather of Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), the pensive 20-something son of a former SOA founder who is being groomed to take over the club by his devious, ambitious mom, Gemma Teller (Katey Sagal). With Season Two of the Emmy-nominated show slated to air next month, the show’s creator, Kurt Sutter, his real-life wife and the actress behind Gemma (Katey Sagal) and veteran character Ron Perlman sat down to discuss their roles, how real bikers are reacting to a bloody and violent show about them, and the dynamics between the lead characters.
