Henry Rollins plays ‘knucklehead’
(UKPA) – 12 hours ago
Henry Rollins says he understood how to play a “knucklehead” white supremacist having dealt with them at his gigs over the years.
The former Black Flag singer joined the cast of biker drama Sons Of Anarchy on the red carpet to promote the show’s second series, in which he plays a rival gang leader, set to air in the States next month.
“Being an American who is very aware of race, I’ve been around those knuckleheads for many, many years,” Henry explained.
“In the music world they come to your shows, it’s awful. I’ve heard the rationale, I can’t support it but it’s interesting to hear it and wonder how insane these people are.”
He continued: “Now I get to play one of these people. It’s been an interesting summer to say the least.”
Henry confessed he was incredibly relieved to find his character doesn’t ride a motorbike unlike Ron Perlman and Charlie Hunnam’s characters.
“We’re not part of the biker crowd, thankfully, because… I find motorcycles quite terrifying. Perhaps I’m not alpha male enough, it’s just not my thing!”
Another terrifying thing on set, according to his co-stars, was Ron Perlman, who apparently punched Charlie Hunnam’s teeth out.
“Midway through the season [Ron] ended up knocking my tooth out, which is now a fake.
“Basically the whole tooth got knocked out so it can be a little dangerous working with him at times, but for the most part he’s a sweetheart,” Charlie laughed.
