You likely know the name Henry Rollins. What you may not recall initially is exactly where you know him from. Taking over for Dez Cadena as the front man of hardcore 80’s rock band Black Flag, musician turned actor Rollins has been a magazine columnist, radio and television host, started his own record label, won a Grammy for one of his many spoken word albums and been an outspoken activist for gay and human rights. Most recently however, Rollins has been chosen to appear in a recurring role on the second season of FX’s motorcycle drama “Sons of Anarchy”.
In six episodes, he will play a new antagonist in the show, who poses a deadly threat to the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club. Taking place in the fictional town of Charming CA located in the San Joaquin Valley in Northern California, Sons of Anarchy is a dark drama that explores an outlaw motorcycle gang’s mission to protect their way of life from the insurgence of rival gangs, drug dealers, corporate real estate developers and law enforcement officials. The muscular and heavily tattooed Rollins should have no problem creating a realistic character as he gained notoriety in the early days of his career for getting into fights while on stage.
Production on the series will start April 27th and will likely premiere in September 2009.

While Henry Rollins is indeed well known for headlining the Rollins band, I felt mentioning that would seem redundant to anyone familiar with that aspect of his career. Referencing his more obscure endeavors was not done to seem pretentious or condescending, merely educate readers on the many other reasons he has gained recognition within the limelight. I wouldn’t consider my knowledge of Black Flag as grounds for being cooler than you, but I’m sure there are plenty of other reasons as well.

No mention of the Rollins Band here? Liar (from the album Weight) hit 33 on the Billboard charts the year it came out; far more people have heard that than ever listened to the almighty Black Flag. It was a favorite on MTV for pete’s sake. I love Black Flag, but it is one of the last reasons most people know Rollins. You get negative 5 cool points for trying to seem a bit hipper than the rest of the readers.
