Sons Of Anarchy Cast: Where Are They Now?

10. Jimmy Smits

Sons of Anarchy Katel Segal
FX

The Role: Nero in seasons five through seven.

2015 may seem like it's been a quiet year for Smits, but the actor has been working on The Get Down, a new musical drama Netflix series set to release next year under the guidance of director Baz Luhrmann and The Shield showrunner Shawn Ryan.

The New York City-set show will take place in the '70s, described by Deadline as revolving "around a ragtag crew of South Bronx teenagers who are wild in the streets — nothings and nobodies with no one to shelter them, except one another. Smits will play Francisco Cruz, aka “Papa Fuerte,” a South Bronx political boss who delivers services the City fails to provide – jobs, housing, healthcare, etc. A big man with brass, he navigates downtown politics the same way he handles his uptown turf – with ease and a touch of deception. Whether it’s his niece’s desire for disco stardom or a recent immigrant’s struggle to grab a hold of the American dream, if you want something in the neighborhood, you come to Papa Fuerte."
