Sons of Anarchy Season 5 Photos: Joel McHale & Ashley Tisdale On Set
Ashley Tisdale is going from High School Musicals sharply dressed Sharpay Evans to the less clean-cut Emma Jean in her new role as a high-priced prostitute in the upcoming fifth season of FXs Hamlet on a Harley drama Sons of Anarchy. Also joining Tisdale this year for a multi-episode story arc is Communitystar Joel McHale, whos playingWarren, a handsome con man whose grifting ways put him into hot water with the wrong marks.
As previously mentioned, Tisdales saucy new character will be ridingstraight intotrouble asthe new SAMCRO president, Jackson Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), struggles with his leadership role while still trying to untangle friend from foe. In the premiere episode (titled Sovereign), fans will also be introduced to new character Nero Padilla (Jimmy Smits)- a Latino gang leader and a less thanstellar mentor to Jax.
Check out the new photos of Tisdale and McHale on this season of Sons of Anarchy:
Series creator Kurt Sutter recently discussed the highly anticipated fifth season Sons of Anarchy at this years Comic-Con. The show has already been renewed for a sixth season, but Sutter also touched upon the hit series potential end after season 7.
This is the season about Jax at the head of that table and what kind of leader he will become. My sense of where the show will end up includes Jax and perhaps Gemma [Katey Sagal] and Clay. I dont think the show continues without Jax because I believe in his journey. This season I have to write to that endgame; the stakes get higher, the circumst! ances get more dire, the wreckage gets deeper and as a result, things will change. I dont know how it all will fall apart, but eventually it will. The show is the princes journey. There is no show without Jax.
Since the casting of both Tisdale and McHale was first announced, many hardcore SOA fans questioned both the teen queen and the funny mans ability to fit into a mature drama like Sons of Anarchy. However, this isnt the first time that the casting choicesmade bySutter have initially appearedrisky(Tom Arnold and David Hasselhoff)but eventuallyturned out to be television master strokes.
Sons of Anarchy season 5 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 11th @10pm on FX.
