Sons of Anarchy by Prashant Gupta/FX
Ron Perlman has nabbed the starring role in the FX upcoming series Sons of Anarchy.

He'll play the leader of an outlaw motorcycle club whose mission is to protect their California town from drug dealers and business developers. He's also the stepfather of central character Jax Teller (played by Charlie Hunnam).

Perlman's role initially went to Scott Glenn for the show's pilot, but producers opted for Perlman to achieve a more darkly comedic feel.

Katey Sagal and Sopranos alum Drea de Matteo have also signed onto the show. — J.R. Whalen

Charlie Hunnam was on undeclared! I don't watch any FX shows, but I might try this one.

I'm not missing anything. I like comedy more than anything. FX isn't my cup of tea.

I did watch the first couple episodes of nip/tuck - it was terrible and I started to watch dirt, but gave up after about 15 minutes, it's not the kind of stuff I like.
