Afgelopen week eindigde in Amerika seizoen drie van de serie Sons of Anarchy. Deze laat ons mee rijden met hun avonturen en de spiraal van geweld die bij hun levensstijl hoort. Nu had de website UGO een zeer uitgebreid interview met de maker Kurt Sutter en daarbij krijgen we leuke trivia en feiten over het laatste seizoen te horen. Ook over de rol van Stephen King in één van de afleveringen. Let wel op het interview bevat veel SPOILERS!!.

RADTKE: You get some great guest stars on the show. Stephen King this season was pretty awesome. How does something like that happen and who would be your dream people to get on the show?

KURT: That's a good question. The Stephen King thing happened just because Stephen was a big fan of The Shield, and we actually tried to get him to do a cameo on that but we never made it happen because of scheduling. You know, I knew he was a big fan of the show when we had started exchanging e-mails a while back and I gave him carte blanche, either write, direct, or star in an episode and his whole thing was he just wanted to be on the show and his only mandate was that he got to ride a motorcycle. So it just turned out, he was out here to pick up some book award and it would happen during the third episode so I was able to have a little bit of lead time on that and come up with who his character was. I pitched it to him and he loved it and we had a blast, man. He was like a fu**ing fan boy, he was so excited to be out there and meet the guys and he was on a big red Harley. Yeah I thought he was fu**ing hysterical. I thought he did a great job. ,

In terms of dream cast, I don't know, it's hard to say just because until I really have a sense of having a character in mind it's hard to envision who that might be, you know. I will say that Hal Holbrook thing was a dream cast, you know what I mean. Like coming up with Gemma's father and then a list of potential actors, he was by far at the top of my list and never I never thought we would be able to get him and ultimately it worked out, so that was just one of those dream scenarios.

RADTKE: Were you a big [Henry] Rollins fan?

KURT: I was. You know, it's interesting, I knew Henry's manager, we knew each other through acquaintances and I knew Henry was a fan of The Shield and was interested in acting and I met with him at the end of Season One and we just started bullsh***ing. He was just a very respectful guy, he loved the show, he loved the world, and you know he was really open for anything and then I came up with the character and I pitched the idea to him and he loved it.

RADTKE: At the end we got a glimpse of the "Search and Destroy" tattoo.

KURT: Yeah. His whole thing was, he was so funny, he hadn't gotten a tattoo in a while, he said he was just going to get the words "Fu** You" written across his chest. I was like that's awesome, okay.
