Keara Shepherd was enjoying a chat with a friend at a downtown Nakusp cafe earlier this month when she thought she recognized a man walking down the street.
A quick consultation with her friend and they agreed it was Kim Coates a Canadian American actor and star on the TV show Sons of Anarchy where he plays Tig Trager. The pair approached Coates who turned out to be a pretty nice guy. He told them he and his wife loved visiting Nakusp and came to the village often. He then let them take a selfie with him giving them solid proof of a celebrity encounter on the shores of the Arrow Lakes.
When one looks back on the bruising seven season run of FXs hit biker drama Sons of Anarchy one likely thinks of head spinning betrayals shocking outbursts of violence and an ending that remains the very definition of divisive. Of course you undoubtedly also think about big burly dudes with beards and tattoos roaring down a California freeway in search of a little trouble. And its just as certain you see them proudly sporting a jacket brandished with the logo of the SAMCRO brotherhood.
That motley crew of jawbreakers and lawbreakers actually spent quite a lot of screen time riding their various motorbikes all around Northern California during the seriess lauded primetime run. And yes most of the actors who played the SAMCRO brothers on Sons of Anarchy actually learned to ride for the show themselves per USA Today though that likely involved a lot of being pulled around on camera cars. Even still for some cast members the experience led to a deep love affair with motorcycles with series headliner Charlie Hunnam who played Jax Teller once boasting in a Mens Journal interview I will be riding forever.
Seems however there was one member of the Sons of Anarchy cast who almost certainly did not continue to ride once the series was over. This is the SAMCRO brother who was never much of a fan of motorcycles.
