The much-anticipated final season of ‘Sons of Anarchy’ is heating up with very exciting casting news. 45-year-old rocker Marilyn Manson has been cast in a recurring role as a white supremacist in the upcoming seventh season. FX made the announcement on Thursday, May 29 that Manson will take on the role as Ron Tully, an imprisoned “shot-caller” who Jax uses to expand his power base. [Spoiler:] Jax will be heading to jail in the final season to exonerate his wife Tara.
Manson, known for making cameo appearances in popular TV shows which include the likes of “Californication”, “Eastbound & Down” and “Once Upon a Time”, said in a statement:
“‘Sons’ has been such a big part of my life, as well as my father’s,”
He added speaking to Variety:
“So I was determined to make him proud by being involved in what will probably be remembered as the most amazing piece of television cinema. After all, the very heart of ‘SOA’ is about that relationship. So, now all I need is a motorcycle.”
“Sons of Anarchy” returns to FX for its Seventh and final season in September 2014.
