Kurt Sutter As Otto Delaney

This week I thought it would be a great idea to make a post about the man behind the creation of Sons of Anarchy. If it weren't for Kurt Sutter, there would be no Sons of Anarchy. For those of you who do not know, Kurt Sutter also portrays Otto Delaney in SOA, and he is married to Katey Sagal (Gemma Teller) in real life. The two have three children together.

Besides portraying Otto, Kurt writes, directs, and produces for Sons of Anarchy. As a young kid he did not do well in school and came from a broken family. After watching lots of television and exploring his imagination he discovered his ability to come up with creative ideas for stories.

Relating to last weeks post, Sutter uses his resources well by having technical advisors such as David LaBrava help out with the show. Along with this Sutter also took some time to interact with an outlaw club in California as research for his writing for Sons of Anarchy. This all proved successful as the show is a hit.

Sons of Anarchy is currently on its fifth season. The show is so successful that FX recently signed a three year deal to continue playing Sons of Anarchy and create other projects with Sutter in the process. Some of his hobbies include playing video games and oddly birds, which probably makes you think of Gemma's bird obsession in the show just like I did. 

Check out my David LaBrava post and Gemma Teller post as well!

Juice Ortiz of Sons of Anarchy

Portrayed by Theo Rossi, Juice Ortiz is the 'techy' member of the Sons of Anarchy crew. Often nicknamed Juicey Boy by chibs, Ortiz specializes in hacking and manages the clubhouses many video surveillance's. We often see him giving the Sons of Anarchy crew a heads up when the police are entering their property.
In the first few seasons of Sons of Anarchy Juice Ortiz didn't have the involvement in the group like he does now in later seasons. This is mostly due to the fact that he was one of the newer members of the group and needed to prove his trust and involvement with the rest of the Sons. Juice is so loyal to the group that he often finds himself at conflict. We witness this during season four. Juice was always expressive of his claimed Puerto Rican roots. During this time in season four it is discovered by a cop that Juice's real father is actually African-American. Out to get the Sons, the cop threatens to release this information to the group in hopes to turn Juice into his rat in order to expose the deep dark secrets of the Sons of Anarchy. With all this and other stresses of current happenings and bad deals in season four Juice attempts to commit suicide by hanging himself from a tree. This attempt failed due to the tree branch breaking and Chibs shows up and finds Juice flustered. Later, Chibs confronts Juice about his change in attitude. Juice, realising Chibs concern, confides in Chibs and tells him everything. Chibs comforts Juice and assures him that the group would never view him differently and that they all love him.
To see how Juice Ortiz is doing now you need to tune into FX every Tuesday night!

Clay Morrow

You may recognize Ron Perlman from some big name movies, but in Sons of Anarchy he is seen as the selfish president of Samcrow who eventually lets his selfishness get the best of him.

 In the beginning the show Clay Morrow was seen as a somewhat like-able character who spoke highly of his old friend John Teller. But as the show progresses Clay's true personality comes out under certain stress and pressures. We witness Clay turn from a loving  husband of Gemma, to an abusive bully of Gemma. We see Clay's character turn twisted when Tig shares with Clay his suspicions of a betrayal by Opie. Clay and Tig decide to look into the matter and Tig discovers hidden microphones in Opie's truck and cell phone. Tig assumes Opie is working against the club for ATF now and immediately shares this news with Clay, who then instructs Tig to kill Opie. The night Tig follows Opie, Tig doesn't realize that Opie switched vehicles with his wife, and Tig ends up killing Opie's wife thinking it was him driving the truck. Once Clay is informed he hides this information and assures Opie they will find out who murdered his wife. Opie was devastated with the murder of his wife and we see Clay and Tig having a hard time with this. But did this change Clays mischievous ways? No. Later in the series we witness Clay morphing into an evil leader. After beating Gemma, members of the group start to question Clays authority of the group and start vouching for Jax to be the new president. Besides putting a hit on Tara for "knowing too much" about the club, Clay eventually ends up killing Piney in a cold blooded betrayal after secrets from the past are close to revealing Clay's true nature. Once Opie finds out Clay cowardly murdered his father, he also learns the truth about Donna and seeks revenge but is later talked out of it by Jax. Soon Clay's true nature is revealed to Jax in letters that Gemma gave to him from Maureen Ashby . The letters confirmed the truth about John Tellers death, which resulted in Jax swearing that he will kill Clay.

 

R.I.P Johnny Lewis

Johnny Lewis played the loveable prospect, 'half-sack' on Sons of Anarchy during season one and two. Sadly his character was murdered in the end of season two, leaving season three to premier with his funeral.

What happened to Johnny Lewis after his SOA acting? Well, according to his IMBD profile he has completed filming for a new movie, which sadly, will be the last of his career.

Lewis has died at the young age of 28. It has be learned that before his death Lewis had several runs ins with the law due to violent crimes It is reported that the actor appeared to be under the influence of some substance at the time of his death, some are suspecting Meth or PCP as he had 'super-human' strength when others tried to tame him. It is said that he murdered his land lord, an elderly lady in her eighties, along with her cat. Moments later he fell to his own death in attempt to run away.

Sadly it is known that Lewis was up to no good in recent times. Kurt Sutter made an announcement

that made it clear that he was not surprised by the disturbing events that took place.

Season Five

With season five here ready to air episode three this Tuesday, I'm curious to know what other people's thoughts are about the new season so far?

It was confirmed through Kurt Sutter's Twitter account that a main character will be killed off this week. I have a few suspected characters of who it might be, but I'd love to hear what you all think.

Also, what is everyone's thoughts on the up-comming guest appearance of Ashley Tisdale? I've read other blogs online and a lot of people have voiced that they aren't too thrilled about this. I wasn't too keen on the choice at first but I must say I have faith that this will work out for the show. It has been this good so far so I don't question any of their choices.

To keep up do date about the show you guys should all follow Kurt Sutter on twitter here!
Another good follow related to the show is Kelli Jones . She's the costume designer for 'Sons of Anarchy'. Both are a bit cheeky at times, but in a good way and well worth the follow. You guys won't be disappointed.

Leave a comment and let me know what you guys think about season five so far!

Cheers!
