New season of Sons of Anarchy to feature actors from The Shield

Old fans of The Shield who have yet to sample FX’s powerful drama Sons of Anarchy may want to tune into the fourth season premiere on Sept. 6: Benito Martinez and David Rees Snell are appearing in multiple episodes!

Martinez (Capt. David Aceveda on The Shield) will play a right-hand man in a Mexican cartel. He’ll show up in episode two. Meanwhile, Snell — best known to Farmington followers as Ronnie — will depict an ATF agent who’s helping to investigate SAMCRO. He’s featured in the premiere episode, which begins with the SAMCRO boys leaving the pokey.

SOA, which was created by former Shield scribe Kurt Sutter, also features Kenny Johnson (Shield’s Lem) as Kozik.
