Edward James Olmos joins Sons Of Anarchy spin-off Mayans MC
According to Deadline, Edward James Olmos has joined the cast of Mayans MC, Kurt Sutter’s spin-off of his FX series Sons Of Anarchy. The show is set after the end of Sons Of Anarchy, with a young man named EZ Reyes trying to join up with the eponymous motorcycle gang on the California/Mexico border. Olmos is the first actor to be cast in the pilot, and he’ll be playing Felipe Reyes, EZ’s father, with the Deadline story describing him as a “once-strong Mexican patriarch” who has been “crushed by bullets and hard labor” and now “struggles to keep his past buried” so he can take care of his sons.
