Easter Eggs And References You Missed In Sons Of Anarchy

"SoA" is no stranger to having major guest appearances in the show. From David Hasselhoff to Stephen King, there was always someone new to introduce to the quaint town of Charming. And while most of these stars are included for fun, there are quite a few guest stars that have a distinct purpose.

In order to do justice to the story he was telling, Sutter did a lot of research on the life of a motorcycle club. He worked with Sonny Barger, the founder of the motorcycle club, Hell's Angels, to get the context right. Taking things a step further, Sutter had Barger guest star in the show as one of the founding members of SAMCRO, Lenny Janowitz. Various actors featured in the show were part of the Hell's Angels in real life, with the most prolific being David Labrava, who portrays club member Happy.

Initially, Labrava was brought in as an advisor to help Sutter accurately depict motorcycle club culture. However, Labrava impressed Sutter by explaining that he wanted an opportunity to be cast in the show (via Kurt Sutter's YouTube). Luckily, Sutter obliged and Happy became an interestingly developed character. While his life in the club is a violent one, Happy is more of the strong silent type rather than the deranged hothead like Tig. He is, by all accounts, a happy guy.
