Sons of Anarchy Final Season Compared To The Godfather
Going into the seventh season of the FX series, many big names were cast to appear at some point in the final episodes, including Lea Michele, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson. Speaking with The Verge about these guest appearances, SOA creator Kurt Sutter seems to be very confident in their abilities, particularly Michele.
"With Lea Michele, we heard she was interested from our executive producer and director Paris Barclay, who knew her from Glee and working together with Ryan Murphy [creator of Glee and FX's American Horror Story]," Sutter explained. "And so it all sort of worked out. We cast her outside the box. She plays a truck stop waitress. You know, tough, tank top, not a smidge of makeup on her. She completely embraced what the show was all about. It's a show that people want to play different parts on."

Discussing Manson, who will play prison shot-caller Ron Tully, Sutter said that it is fun to see the famous shock rocker "not wearing mascara," as he often is as part of his public persona.
As for Love, Sutter said that she is in three episodes of the final season, playing the preschool teacher to Abel, Jax's (Charlie Hunnam) son.
"I've known Courtney for a little bit and become friends with her. I knew she was trying to do some acting and reinvent her career," Sutter said. He also revealed that she will be playing most of her scenes with Gemma (Katey Sagal) and Wendy (Drea de Matteo).
It's shaping up to be an eventful final season of the violent motorcycle saga, with Jax getting ready for revenge as guest stars enrich the show's expanding world.
The final season of Sons of Anarchy premieres Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
