10 Great Movies Starring Sons Of Anarchy Actors
7. Bleed For This (Katey Sagal)
Gemma Teller is a tour-de-force throughout Sons of Anarchy, an endlessly watchable blend of a caring mother and a ferocious matriarch.
Katey Sagal brings Gemma to live with incredible realism, grit, and emotion. Gemma is not the only mother that Sagal has brought to life in recent years. She also stars in Ben Younger's boxing drama Bleed For This as Louise Pazienza, the mother of main character Vinny (Miles Teller).
In Bleed For This (based on a true story), a former world champion boxer has an almost fatal car crash that has many believing he will never walk again. He defies the odds however, and does everything in his power to return to the ring, culminating in a thrilling comeback match.
Younger's film falls on some predictable storyline tropes. However, thanks to an endlessly likeable cast featuring Sagal and Teller - as well as Aaron Eckhart and Ciarán Hinds - Bleed For This can really sweep you up in the moment of you're a sucker for a dramatic sporting odyssey.
Asides Bleed For This and Sons of Anarchy, Sagal is best known for her role as Leela in Matt Groening's Futurama. She also stars in Shameless as Dr. Ingrid Jones.
