Sons of Anarchy

I was booked on Sons of Anarchy last Tuesday, (think The Sopranos meets Hells Angels) and had to drive up towards Santa Clarita to Disney's Golden Oak Ranch. This time, I would be playing a lumberjack, with 4 other guys. The ranch was absolutely gorgeous, and it was refreshing to be out of the courtroom for a change! This was a part of LA you dont get to see everyday, it had rolling green hills, horses roaming, old houses that were used in Bonanza, and Little House on the Prarie, etc...

The setting was supposed to take place in Fall, I wore jeans, boots, and fortunately they didnt make me wear thermals, but I had to sport a flannel for the better half of the day. Surprisingly, it wasn't that hot out though as we were in tents. Craft service was fantastic though, as when you are filming 'on-location' anywhere, they have to bring in caterers. We had cornish game hen, prime rib, endless salad bar, the list went on and on. They then shuttled us over to the set, where we set up camp for the better part of the day, and I nestled under a tree and read a book all day, it was really pleasant. The scene we shot, was in a country bar where a huge fist fight breaks out, so we got to see 8 stunt men just go at it for a couple hours, bottles breaking, people getting tossed around the bar...good times!
