When the Sons of Anarchy TV show was unleashed on an unsuspecting FX audience, no one could have predicted how popular a show about a dangerous motorcycle club would become. In retrospect, there shouldn't have been any doubt. After all, shows about criminals have always been in style, especially those that were considered as prestige television such as the Sopranos, The Wire and Dexter. The same was true for SOA, there were just a touch more Harley-Davidsons (and one Triumph) in it.
With enough action, love stories and Shakespearean intrigue to fill a shallow grave, the show enthralled motorcycle lovers and non-riders alike for 7 bloody years. It was especially close to the hearts of Harley fans who got to see some of their favorite models popularized on television.
The show wasn't without its controversies, however, as several real-life motorcycle clubs took issue with the criminal activities the SOA took part in. Yet in other ways, the show was able to shine a light on the lives of club members with realism and authenticity, due in part to the employment of several real former club members like David Labrava, who played Happy Lowman. With the immensely popular show coming to a conclusion in 2014, many of its fans wondered, what had become of some of their favorite actors and actresses that were involved with the TV series.
With information pulled from IMDB.com, entertainment profiles, interviews and personal social media accounts, this spoiler-free article will help our readers catch up with the original cast of Sons of Anarchy.
Within the show's world, Bobby was, most of the time, a voice of reason for his fellow club members. Though not always effective, Bobby did his best to steer the club in a more righteous direction, guiding Clay and Jax into more peaceful resolutions to conflicts that plagued SAMCRO throughout its 7 seasons. For that reason, he'd become a favorite character among fans of the show.
Mark Boon Junior, the actor who portrayed Bobby, has been in the industry for a long time, and many may remember seeing him in movies like Memento, 2 Fast 2 Furious and Batman Begins as Detective Flass. And though he'd started riding motorcycles while quite young, he'd stopped at the age of 19. He's back to it now, however, as evidenced by Sons of Anarchy, with him now claiming that he's addicted for life. Mark is currently still very much active as an actor, securing rolls in tv series like The Mandalorian, Paradise City and Hightown. He also has 3 upcoming projects according to his IMDB page.
There was always something Shakespearian about Gemma's roll in the series. She's channeled her insecurities, need for loyalty and love of her son into some truly diabolical schemes that even Lady Macbeth would find questionable. As one of the few female characters on the show, Gemma proved to be a force to be reckoned with, even if her powers were at times limited by the fact that she wasn't a true club member.
Katey Sagal should be real familiar with anyone who grew up in the 1980's and 1990's, perhaps best know at the time for being on the sitcom Married... with Children. She's also the voice of Leela on the long-running Futurama series, which was recently picked up for more episodes. But when it comes to Sons of Anarchy, many may not know that she's married to the series creator, Kurt Sutter. She continues to have acting roles in television, with the latest being on The Conners and a fun reunion with her Married...
