What a wild ride ‘Sons Of Anarchy‘ has been for Maggie Siff.
Hot off a run on Season 1 of AMC’s acclaimed ‘Mad Men,’
Siff signed on for FX’s then-new biker drama, playing
mildish-mannered Dr. Tara Knowles. Flash-forward two
seasons and the healer is creating patients, roughing up
tattling hospital administrators who dare to threaten the
career of this “old lady.”
Fancast invited Siff to share with us how she came to
embrace Tara’s darker side – and reveal, surprisingly, how
the doc is not much unlike herself.
You just got back from the latest Season 3 table read. How
are things shaping up thus far?
They’re looking good! We’re in the middle of shooting our
fifth episode and reading our sixth, and things are heating
up. There’s not much I can say about the third season; they’
ve sworn us to secrecy.
We can only imagine what Tara’s mindset is these days. So
much went down in the Season 2 finale. Half-Sack got killed,
little Abel was kidnapped by Cameron Hayes….
That’s true. A lot of this season really is taken up with the
events that unfolded in the last episode of the second
season.
Jax (played by Charlie Hunnam) must be on the warpath.
Yeah, well… One of the things this show really explores is
how these people are warriors, they’re fighters, and they
express their anger pretty immediately and fiercely. You can
imagine what the aftermath of an event like that is.
Exclusive: Taryn Manning Returns To ‘Sons Of Anarchy’
Series creator Kurt Sutter told the Chicago Tribune that a
chunk of this season will unspool in Ireland, home base to
SAMCRO-Belfast. Might Jax or Tara wind up over there?
There are definitely storylines that are unfolding there, but
there are also storylines unfolding in Charming
simultaneously. Some people will end up there… and some
won’t. That’s all I’m going to say! [Laughs]
That dual narrative – and exploring the oft-mentioned
Belfast charter – would seem to deliver some very dense
storytelling.
It’s kind of amazing. There are so many storylines and they’
re so intricately plotted, and the introduction of a whole new
charter…. It is very dense and layered and complicated, but
in an exciting way.
