To compose such a list and NOT include Henry Rollins would be just plain outrageous. In fact, the legendary punk frontman’s character was a pivotal part of the show’s second season. Rollins played A.J. Weston, the muscle/street leader of League of American Nationalists, who aimed to destroy SAMCRO and take over the town of Charming. His character was the poster-child of a violent, hate-filled white supremacist, having no compassion for anyone of a different race. He even goes as far as to gang rape Gemma Teller [the mother of Jax, portrayed by Katey Sagal]. It’s a character that Rollins described as “the kind of ‘bad guy’ you don’t root for… at all.” It’s also a type of character whose morals completely differ to Rollins’, who in real life is a very outspoken human rights activist.
