10 Sons Of Anarchy Cameos You Probably Missed
4. Stephen King
In Season 3, Gemma's caretaker, Amelia, accidentally stabs herself to death (which is a typical day for the SAMCRO posse). To dispose of the body, Tig hires a professional "cleaner" called Bachman, who is played by visionary author Stephen King.
King may be a universal name, but some people didn't recognise him simply because they didn't know what he looked like. Even if you recognised King, it's easy to forget he starred in the show since he only made one appearance.
This iconic figure may be a gifted scribe, but he's never been the best actor. However, he seems perfectly cast as a character that chops up people for a living. As Bachman cups the corpse's breasts and measures the body to see if it'll fit down the slop sink, you can't help but think, "This guy has done this before."
The creator, Kurt Sutter, always had King in mind for the role, saying the master of horror would suit the "suitably nasty part". He even named the character Bachman as a reference to King's pseudonym, Richard Bachman.
Stephen King penned several of his novels under this nom de plume, including The Running Man and Thinner.
