In recognition of what Sutter has built up and blown up , we present 20 of the show's most memorable moments. Some of these are gory and violent, some of these were jaw-dropping and shocking, and some were quieter and more contemplative — an aspect that Sutter and his cast have handled just as gracefully as the big set pieces on this souped-up he-man soap opera, if far less often.
But all of them remind us of why we'll miss riding with Jax and Co. Warning: For those not fully caught up on the show, there are many, many spoilers to follow. Proceed with caution. Newswire Powered by. The crew on The Festival never had an issue with my disability. There was no genteelly asking hard-to-answer questions — because they understood. I believe more representation and interesting roles for disabled actors will happen. The series Speechless has been a huge success; John Krasinski demanded they hire an actor who is deaf in A Quiet Place.
Once that becomes the norm, disability will be acceptable. Once I faced death, I needed a more impossible goal. Fast-forward to a recent October morning in Beverly Hills. Step and repeat: That's Hollywood slang for walking the red carpet. Step sideways, smile for the camera, answer questions and repeat until the red runs out. On this day, Yaeger is redefining that process as he honors the winners at the Media Access Awards. Alongside Yaeger are actors on crutches or in wheelchairs or, like him, supported from the knee down by hardware.
Yaeger is also at the event promoting his new role as Greg the Peg on the FX biker drama Sons of Anarchy , a part he says may have been inspired by his chance encounter with showrunner Kurt Sutter last summer. Yaeger never doubted he'd ride again.
Eight months after the accident, he was fitted for his first prosthetic and began to regain some of the 60 pounds he'd lost. He also rebuilt his wrecked motorcycle. Yaeger moved to LA at the end of , landing some acting gigs but struggling to resume the sport he loved.
When he returned to BMX, his prosthetic foot kept slipping from the pedal. After linking up, the two experimented with magnet shapes and shoe designs to maximize a BMX rider's connection to the pedal. Action athletes see possibilities where people in our industry don't. After all, having the perfect sneaker collection didn't really matter much in the long run. Hunnam decided to give most of his sneakers away to charity, and while he's not about to call himself a minimalist, he doesn't feel the need anymore to own the latest, best models of everything.
Hunnam now names the author Henry David Thoreau as one of his inspirations. Sure, he's not going to ditch all of his possessions and move to the woods, but he's definitely come to realize that money doesn't buy happiness.
Hunnam started his acting career by working in TV. He was discovered in a shoe store and was cast in the children's show Byker Grove shortly afterwards. He did a brief stint as a model , which he quickly decided was not for him, and then landed the role of Nathan on Queer as Folk. These TV roles defined the early days of Hunnam's career, but ever since Sons of Anarchy ended, he actually hasn't worked on any other shows.
Although Hunnam has made it clear that he misses the peace of mind that comes with recurring, long-term TV roles, his priorities have changed. Whether or not Hunnam will want to return to the small screen at some point in the future remains to be seen, but for now, you'll probably only be catching him in movies.
So how does Hunnam choose projects nowadays? He's been outspoken about the fact that it can be a difficult process for him.
But he does have one major factor he relies on to make the final decision: the director. For example, Hunnam says that he's always been a big fan of director Michael Noer's movies, so when he got the chance to work with him on the prison film Papillon , he jumped on it. He doesn't want to be part of a film unless he's truly on the same page as the director. He feels like this strategy is serving him pretty well so far.
After all, an exciting script and a star-studded cast can't make up for a weak director. Charlie Hunnam doesn't think that fame and wealth are necessarily indicators of success. At this point, he's had enough of both to know that neither will bring true fulfillment on their own.
Today, he says he actually prefers to work on smaller projects with less financial backing because he feels like the director has more creative control in that scenario. He's not looking for more accolades or higher salaries. He just wants to create films that he's proud of. He wants to challenge himself and work alongside directors who have interesting ideas.
My success, for me, is about getting to continue to work on things that make me excited. He's had some trouble moving on.
