News recently hit that former Sons of Anarchy star Ryan Hurst will be joining the cast of The Walking Dead, but could others show up too?
The short answer, for now, is no. There is technically no confirmation that any other Sons of Anarchy actors will turn up in The Walking Dead. But coincidentally, SoA cast member Dayton Callie โ who played police chief Wayne Unser on the biker drama โ went on to appear on The Walking Dead spinoff series Fear the Walking Dead after the FX series ended.

Aside from Hurst and Callie, no other main Sons of Anarchy cast members have made the leap to The Walking Dead, but fans would love that and we’ve got some suggestions on who should join!
Scroll down for our list and let us know which SAMCRO members you’d like to see face off against the Walkers.
Tommy Flanagan
Sons of Anarchy Character:ย Filip “Chibs” Telford
Career Since SoA: After Sons of Anarchy ended, Flanagan appeared in a handful of other TV series such asย Revenge,ย Gotham, andย Motive.
He also turned up a number of films like the war-drama Sand Castle and Marvel’sย Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. More recently, he reunited with his Sons of Anarchy co-star Charlie Hunnamย (Jaxย Teller) in the filmย Papillon.
Flanagan has a quiet intensity that would sync perfectly with the tone ofย The Walking Dead.
Ron Perlman
Sons of Anarchyย Character:ย Clarence “Clay” Morrow
Career Sinceย SoA: Ron Pearlmanย was, in many ways,ย theย backbone of Sons of Anarchy, and he has since gone on to star is shows likeย Hand of God and StartUp.
He also appeared in the 2016 Harry Potter Universe filmย Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and can be seen next in the movie Asher.ย Pearlmanย is a no-nonsense kind of guy, and that comes through in each one of his roles. There is no doubt he’d be an excellentย addition to The Walking Dead.
Kim Coates
Sons of Anarchyย Character:ย Alex “Tig” Trager
Career Sinceย SoA: After Sons of Anarchyย aired itsย finale, Coates turned up in shows such as Godless,ย Ghost Wars, andย Bad Blood. He also starred in a number of films, includingย Officer Downe,ย Goon: Last of the Enforcers, andย True Memoirs of an International Assassin.
Coatesย certainly brings a lot to the table depth-wiseย and, frankly, seeing Tig and Opie (Hurst) together again would just be awesome. Having them fight zombies side-by-side, however… that would be EPIC.
Mark Boone Junior
Sons of Anarchyย Character:ย Bobby Munson
Career Sinceย SoA:ย Mark Boone Junior walked away from Sons of Anarchy after the show ended and appeared in shows likeย Law & Order: Special Victims Unit andย Flaked. He also starred in the filmsย American Satan and The Birth of a Nation.
More recently, he turned up in the apocalyptic comedyย The Last Man on Earth, so he’s familiar with end-of-world scenarios and would fit in on The Walking Dead just fine.
Theo Rossi
Sons of Anarchyย Character:ย Juan Carlos “Juice” Ortiz
Career Sinceย SoA: Theo Rossi jumped from Sons of Anarchy over to the theย Netflix/Marvel Universe, starring in Luke Cage alongsideย Mike Colter,ย Mahershala Ali, andย Alfre Woodard.
He also turned up in films like Bad Hurt,ย When the Bough Breaks, and Lowridersย (which, coincidentally, was written by Mayans M.C. co-creator Elgin James).
Rossiย has a smile that could brighten not just a room but a deep cavern, and he brings a light-heartedย quality to his roles that would be a nice departure for the usual gloomy vibes on The Walking Dead.
Katey Sagal
Sons of Anarchyย Character:ย Gemma Teller Morrow
Career Sinceย SoA: Former Married… with Children starย Kateyย Sagal is married to SoA creator Kurt Sutter, so following the end of the biker gang series she turned up on his next show The Bastard Executioner.
She later returned to her sitcom roots by appearing in shows likeย Brooklyn Nine-Nine andย The Big Bang Theory. She currently stars in the CBSย comedy Superior Donuts.ย Sagalย is such an incredibleย talent, there is every good reason in the worldย for her to appearย in The Walking Dead and not one reason she shouldn’t.
Kurt Sutter
Sons of Anarchyย Character:ย “Big” Otto Delaney
Career Sinceย SoA: Kurt Sutterย spends most of his time behind the camera, as he created Sons of Anarchy, so at this time he has not stepped back in front of it (though he is scheduledย to for the upcoming 2019 film Chaos Walking).
After SoAย ended, Sutterย created the seriesย The Bastard Executioner, which only lasted one season, and is now working on the Sons of Anarchy spinoffย Mayans M.C., which premieresย on FX on Tuesday, Sept. 4.
During SoA’sย run, Sutterย appeared in about a dozen episodes as one of the most bizarre and outlandish characters featured, “Big” Otto, and anyone who’s seen even just one scene with Otto in the lead will know why Sutterย would make a great Walking Dead villain.
Walton Goggins
Sons of Anarchyย Character:ย Venus Van Dam
Career Sinceย SoA: Since appearingย on SoA, Gogginsย has gone on to star in the HBOย seriesย Vice Principals, as well as the filmsย Maze Runner: The Death Cureย andย Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Prior, he spent eight seasons on The Shield asย Detectiveย Shane Vendrell, and also co-starred with Timothy Olyphant in Justified.
Though not a member of the “main” cast, the short time that Gogginsย spent on Sons of Anarchy asย transgender prostitute Venus Van Dam had a major impact on the show.
In both 2014 and 2015 Goggins earnedย Critics’ Choice Television Award nominations for Best Guest Performer in a Drama Series.ย Gogginsย has a range that not many can replicate and his abilty to be a southern-gentlemen-type villian would really fit nicely on The Walking Dead.
