4 Sons of Anarchy stars who Became A-listers and 4 Who Flopped
In 2008, Sons of Anarchy rocked the FX channel for the first time. The biker-centric drama series had all the hard-hitting tough-nosed grit of a crime series. More than three years after the show’s final episode, fans are still obsessed with the stars of the show.

#7. A-lister: Titus Welliver as Jimmy O’Phelan in Sons of Anarchy

However, Titus was critically acclaimed for his performance. Before SOA, Titus was known for his minor roles in movies and TV shows. Now, Titus has transitioned to leading man in the hit show Bosch.
#6. Flopped: Johnny Lewis as Half-sack Epps in SOA
Johnny Lewis depicted Half-Sack Epps’s role in the show’s first two seasons. The character didn’t have much screen time and was a forgettable character. In real life, Johnny had various run-ins with the law before tragically passing away on September 26, 2012. But, let’s not speak ill of the dead.
#5. A-Lister: Maggie Siff played as Tara Knowles in Sons of Anarchy

Maggie portrayed Jax’s love interest, Dr. Tara Knowles, in Sons of Anarchy and gathered excellent fan appreciation for the character. Since Tara’s gruesome demise in the show, Siff has become an A-list TV star with a role in the critically acclaimed show, Billions.

#2. Flopped: Theo Rossi (Juan Carlos ‘Juice’ Ortiz)
Sporting tribal tattoos on his head and spouting some of the show’s sassier lines, Juice was a fan-favorite character in SOA. Though Juice didn’t make it out of prison alive in the show, Juan has played in various TV shows but hasn’t been able to crack the A-list.
