Tattooed, bearded and unwashed looking , they share the bonds of bad attitude and rebellion, cradling burgundy beverages before getting down to the discussion at hand: Gene Hackman and Al Pacino’s finest movie.
“Scarecrow might be Hackman’s best work, and he always does great work,” insists Ron Perlman, 6-foot-plus with a spider tattoo , to nods of agreement . “It’s a clinic on acting,” offers another voice.
Like watching Hell’s Angels discuss a fine chardonnay, it’s an incongruous scene as this group dissects the 1973 road movie pairing method actor Pacino with in-the-moment master Hackman, two soon-to-be legends setting the bar high.
Then the camera swings into place, another voice yells “Action!” and Perlman, who some might recognize as the title character from Guillermo del Toro’s freaky Hellboy movies, starts grumbling about getting in on a big illegal gun purchase.
That’s life on the set of FX’s Sons of Anarchy, a kinetic drama about an outlaw biker club where art and a particularly grungy subculture meet in a surprisingly popular and profitable marriage.
The show returns for its third season tonight, as the club reels from a series of setbacks: the murder of a prospective member, the kidnapping of a leader’s infant son and the police’s pursuit of club matriarch Gemma Morrow for two murders, including a woman who helped maneuver her into a brutal gang rape last season.
