While watching episode three of this seasons
Sons of Anarchy on television, I was surprised to see Stephen King in a cameo role as a "cleaner" (euphemism for someone that disposes of bodies). The characters name was "Bachman". I have to say he was extra creepy. Here's a video interview of Stephen about his role on the show.
OMG, I didn't realize it was him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, for pointing it out to us!
My brother is gonna die when I tell him! lol
Didn't he used to make cameos in some of the movies made from his books as well? I think Maximun Overdrive was one for sure ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhen he first came on screen I was like 'Is that.... no that's not Stephen King....is it?' Haha, it was just as you'd expect. Creepy and interesting.

I was sooo going to blog about it after I saw that ep! But it gets over at midnight and I completely forgot the next morning. Whoops! Thanks for reminding me Doug.
ReplyDeleteI must agree... he was extra creepy but it was so amusing because there wasn't any mention of him guesting beforehand. It took me a minute of thinking 'boy that guy looks like Stephen King' before I caught on it WAS him. :) I thought perhaps since Ron Perlman has been in a couple of films based off his books he may have had some influence.
yllektra I love those moments when a cameo surprises me.
ReplyDeleteCheryl I think he was in most of his movies but this is the first I think that he has appeared in someone else's work.
Stephanie I thought he was very good in the role. No disrespect to Stephen but he looks naturally creepy.
Rhianna yeah I had to share. The other neat thing was that his character name was Bachman which of course was the pen name he wrote under in the 80's.
