Ron Perlman, another favorite actor of mine, is a real character. I like him in just about every movie he does, even if the movie itself sucks (like Alien Resurrection). He’s one of those actors that has been all of the place in his career, from the Batman Animated Series to Beauty and the Beast to video games to movies, and is just now recently getting the attention he deserves.

Well, according to Zap2it, he is going to be starring in a new series for FX.

Perlman has joined the cable network’s series “Sons of Anarchy,” where he’ll play the leader of an outlaw motorcycle club, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The show is scheduled to premiere in the fall.”Sons of Anarchy” centers on the title motorcycle club’s efforts to protect their small town from outside elements, including drug dealers and real-estate developers. Charlie Hunnam (”Children of Men”) stars as a young member of the club whose affection for it comes in conflict with his concern over some of its actions. Katey Sagal (”Married … with Children,” “Eli Stone”) plays Hunnam’s mother, and Perlman will play his stepfather.

FX has had some good series, though I never was a true viewer of their original shows, I did enjoy tuning into The Shield and Rescue Me from time to time. I can already picture Sons of Anarchy being like one of those shows, and I can also see myself watching it, especially with Perlman and Sagal.

Out of all the new shows I have read about and/or have written about, this is the one that has me most interested.
